Had to record the game and watch it this morning. Michigan is a terribly coached team. Both offensively and defensively.
Their formations defensively in the first half when USC was throwing in the middle and quick, short passes, they have dbs 10-15 yards off the line. Why? Beyond stupid. USC ran the same running play 3 straight times for massive game changing gains and scores.
Offensively I’m disgusted. People can knock on underwood and in some instances rightfully so because he missed some passes, but how is any qb going to have success when on first down they run every single damn time. Then they have plays where Semaj Morgan motions around in the back field two different directions and they run up the middle. Do they seriously think that’s misdirection? It looks like a circus. Let’s run around a guy in the backfield for no impact so it’s 10 v 11.
Michigan is not a good football team. Not well coached and their secondary is awful along with their linebackers ability to tackle. Maybe Davis Warren didn’t suck, maybe the play calling was so bad he didn’t even have a chance. I have an idea, maybe roll out Underwood. The kid isn’t a pocket old school qb, so why force him to be one? The sad part is there’s talent on this team, but completely misused and some of the players on the field shouldn’t be. Start with Morgan. Perfect example of how terrible the coaching staff is.. Semaj has the most drops as a receiver and you have him as your punt returner. Brains don’t work in Ann Arbor.
