Sure, but the "what if" thing is a door that swings wide and lets all kind of unruly things in.  What Allar doesn't fumble?  What if Michigan didn't decide to play the game with one hand tied behind its back?

Ymmv, but for me it was a major statement to go into Happy Valley, refuse to air it out, and just line up and say we're gonna run it again for 5.5 ypc, f*** all y'all, with no signals and no passes you still can't beat us.

Despite the score it felt like Michigan had them all game and knew it, and had the other half of the arsenal waiting to go if needed, but it wasn't. 

Tell you what, if McCord is gonna play like THAT, the OSU/Mich game just got that much more interesting.  That's gonna be some must-see tv. 

I guess, though my thought was that Michigan didn't trust its tackles in pass protection and didn't want to give up any easy ones for PSU. Ohio State did the same thing.

Reminded me of Florida's win over LSU in 2012.  Ran the ball on the final 25 plays, winning 14-6.

as is Scott Frost

Chop Robinson's speed off the edge was definitely giving RT Karsen Barnhart major problems early on. But they still could've done things with the pass game and pass protection to counter that- and never even really tried.

Sherrone Moore correctly calculated that- you know what- they can't stop us from running on the gotta have it downs- and their offense is not going to move the ball on our defense at all- so why throw it? 

Only way Penn State could've conceivably won that game was if pressure got to JJ and he panicked and threw a pick 6 or if he took a blindside hit off the edge and had a sack fumble/scoop & score. Literally the only way Penn State was going to win that game. That or a disastrous special teams play from Michigan. So Moore did the right thing in the end imo. Take away unnecessary risk and just run run run, chew clock, minimize risk, keep mistakes to a minimum, play the field position game and walk out with a win.

If there's anyone who knows a thing or two about fewer receptions than expected, it's Drake Harris

fact. probably the most disappointing college career for an all-time great HS player from the state of Michigan. Really thought he was going to be a Charles Rogers or Braylon level WR in college. Boy did he disappoint.

This!   It is scary.  I only wish my team could run all running plays, on the road in a hostile environment, against a great defense, and not only win- but never look close to losing.  And to do it with no material penalties or turnovers.  

As Urban Meyer said-I don’t see any weaknesses.  I don’t know how- or who- is going to beat that.
