USC @ Mich: separate thread for a first time Big 10 game

[uihawk82]

Not really pulling for either except that if the hawks were to go on an awesome Big 10 season it is probably better to have MIch hold fort at home.

If, IF the hawks were to only have the one loss to OSU (or who knows) then we want these other teams that we do not play, like Mich, PSU, USC, and Oregon, losing a couple on the road.

I'd love to play Michigan this year

Questionable officiating already.

 

[HawkBall23]

Refs let Michigan get the 4th and inches play off for the first down, but made it up with letting USC possibly be offsides defensively.

Officiating in the Big Ten continues to be awful. This is simple shit they can’t get right.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

I find myself pulling for Michigan in this game. This just feels like the Big vs. Pac. I am not sure when I will wrap my head around the west coast in the Big Ten.

 

[HawkBall23]

Uh oh. Gary Danielsen just made KF's shit list.

I still need to get over the fact that weirdo Harbaugh isn't the UM coach anymore.

Not rooting for or against either team. Just a Top25 matchup in the B1G.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Michigan 3rd and 7. Throws short and doesn't get first down. Hmmm ...

 

[pink shizzle]

I hope it's an entertaining game. I'd love to see USC win (Michigan is a team I'm just not going to cheer for unless they play someone like Notre Dame, Bama, etc) but want a fun game overall.

Yes, check downs happen when nothing else is open or you’re breaking in an inexperienced quarterback.

 

[pink shizzle]

7-0 Michigan

 

[BubsFinn]

Since I like Texas, I guess I'm pulling for Michigan. But it ain't easy.

Either USC offense is not as good as Ewers and Texas or Mich's defense has improved since that game. I heard this AM that Mich defense allowing 64% pass completion rate. Mich looks faster. Speaking of speed Ohio St has a ton on offense and I probably in the defensive backfield

 

[BubsFinn]

I wonder what it is like for a defense to not have to worry about the quarterback running.

I’m guessing Michigan has improved and Texas might have the best O in college football.

A change in quarterback seems to be helping Michigan’s offense. Don’t tell Kirk.

 

[shrinkhawk]

i think brad nessler is enjoying saying "orji" a little too much.

 

[uihawk82]

This is a future scouting report item but today the Maryland QB had quite a day passing. I dont care if was against Villanova but those or damn good numbers.

Kirk stopped taking my calls in 2007 when I bad mouthed him back in 2007. We drove to see them play at Purdue and with about 3 seconds left in the first half at the 50 yard line Kirk punted rather than trying a hail mary.

He must have heard me screaming expletives at him for not taking a chance

That's impressive for sure, but the opposition . . . or lack of it . . . does matter.

I don’t remember that game but I have no doubt Kirk would punt in that situation. 😂

 

[desihawk]

wonder why usc has been playing it's 2ns stringers all game today...i'm talking about the sweater girls

 

[hawkirugged17]

Michigan long TD run. Up 13-0 on USC pending XP. How good is Texas?

 

[uihawk82]

Mich is back to ground and pound. Some experts this AM were calling USC's defense as one of the best in the country but they still look soft. If this keeps going as is they will be thinking of beaches, surfing, and california girls in bikinis by the 4th qtr

 

[pink shizzle]

Game may get out of hand if USC can't get the offense going (or allowing big Michigan plays).

 

[2D_]

So can we finally say that USC's defense isn't very good again?

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

USC is still soft.

 

[yrunvs]

I miss Keith Jackson.

 

[BubsFinn]

Both team used all their timeouts in the first half. I think Kirk thinks that's a penalty.

 

[NevadaHawk]

The Michigan defensive line is dominating the USC offensive line.

 

[Drinkin Buddy]

The Michigan defensive line is dominating the USC offensive line.

USC is finding out what it's like to play a good B1G team in-season, without the luxury of a month layoff for a single bowl game. They are getting manhandled. QB Moss has been busted up often.

Michigan fan Whatsit2ya conspicuously absent from Michigan thread…

 

[uihawk82]

I don’t remember that game but I have no doubt Kirk would punt in that situation. 😂

In that 2007 game Jake C was terrible or at least lousy throwing several passes in the dirt in front of open receivers. Maybe Kirk thought Jake would throw a hail mary 20 yards short and lead to a INT TD

 

[uihawk82]

USC starting to find some shorter passes over the middle, one decent play each series is getting them first downs.

 

[hawkirugged17]

USC touchdown. Now within 4 (14-10 Michigan leads).

 

[wilson reborn]

Why aren’t they showing the USC cheerleaders during this game?

 

[HawkBall23]

USC QB just threw a great TD .... to the Michigan D.

20-10 UM

 

[Hans81]

USC QB just threw a great TD .... to the Michigan D.

21-10 UM

Nice pick six.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Michigan pick 6 ... missed XP. Michigan leads 20-10 with 5:26 left 3rd quarter.
