Yeah my caveat on picking UM was Peters playing.  I mean if Tyler O'Conner can beat them in Columbus, it can happen, but I just don't see it anymore

The Freak on a Leash is going to have the game of his life.
he already had the game of his life against Purdue. Or the half of his life I should say. I think he was fired up because he was facing the guy who benched him at Houston- Tony Levine- who was the head coach at Houston when O'Korn was there and is now the OC and TE's coach for Purdue. That's all O'Korn had in him. He shot his wad, fell way back down to earth.

In the last 20+ years of watching Michigan football, he's one of the worst QB's I've ever seen. He's right up there with Nick Sheridan (who was a walk-on), Shane Morris, and Steven Threet. Even TaterTot and Devin Gardner were light years better than the J'OKe of a QB.

Threet would have been a hell of a lot better in the right system.

People are underestimating that UM defense.   And O' Korn scrambling.  I see a war.

sick to my stomach and just glad I never have to see J'Oke again.

Not sure we'll ever win this game any time soon. 2018 Michigan should be really good if Peters is the real deal like I think he is. Still has to go prove a hell of a lot more, but I like what I've seen since spring and carrying over into the games he played this year. Game is in C-Bus though. Haven't won there since 2000 with Drew Henson as the starting QB.

it's really hard to nit-pick the defense but if there is one area of concern it's this: Don Brown is too stubborn. He plays way too much man to man and blitzes too much. Don't get me wrong I love the guy and his style of defense- but he pretty much never takes his foot off that gas pedal.

David Long and LaVert Hill are FANTASTIC young cornerbacks. Really are. He should have no qualms about playing those two in man coverage as much as he does. They can do it. But LB Mike McCray, S Josh Mettellus, and CB Brandon Watson are and have been liabilities in man coverage. Watson probably should be playing safety. He doesn't have the recovery speed to play corner. He gets beat he's f'ed. Long got caught peaking in the backfield- JT threw it to McLaurin and Long turned on the jets and that 10.4 100m track speed and caught up and push McLaurin and cause the INC as soon as the ball got there. Long isn't even 100% and he's still got that gear- his knee and groin are injured- when he's healthy he's just that much faster/quicker. Watson can't do that. He gets beat or caught peaking in the backfield- it's an automatic big play. Doesn't have the burst or quickness that guys like Hill and Long have. I'd love to see Ambry Thomas get a real shot playing CB since Brown insists on playing basically straight man to man 98% of the defensive snaps. Thomas has that kind of athletic ability to make up for bad technique or getting caught peaking. Watson just doesn't have it.

RS JR DE Chase Winovich non-committall on if he'll return to Michigan. 

Unless he gets a high draft grade- which I doubt he will- gotta think he'll be back.

John O'Korn actually f'in said this in the post game presser:

“Honestly, just my personal opinion, I think we got a little complacent as players,” said O’Korn. “I think we let the foot off the gas. This game didn’t have to be close. We could’ve ran away with it. We had plenty of opportunities and we just didn’t take advantage.”

Seriously? What an oblivious ass-hat. Yeah, they could've won John if you didn't waste all of those opportunities and SUCK ASS like you always do. I can't believe he said that. Oh yeah, wait I can....he's a moron.

how large was the Michigan lead when O'Korn let his foot off the gas???

you decide to coast in "the game"????

Dude

and then if you really felt that way, it's amazing that you would be foolish enough to say it out loud

he's a moron and he sucks at football.

Came across as him kind of calling out the other players which is absurd- and not giving any credit to Ohio State for turning up the switch and responding.

Those Michigan players played their asses off. Every single one of them except....John O'Korn. O'Korn was the single biggest reason they lost that game. Literally the single biggest reason they lost. He missed wide open receiver after wide open receiver the entire game, he ran himself into sacks and pressure like a moron because he has zero pocket presence, and he threw the game ending interception on the first play of the final drive with 2 mins and 48 seconds left in the game.

I think I actually hate the guy.
