Title: Rutgers (0-2, 1-3) at #20 Michigan (1-1, 3-1) Post Game
Post by: Temp430 on September 24, 2019, 07:31:04 AM
Michigan and Rutgers are tied up for the bottom of the Big Ten East.  Both teams have to get better at everything.  Rutgers appears to have a running game in Isiah Pacheco.  It should be quite the challenge for Michigan's DL and LBs.  On offense Michigan QB Patterson is "probably" with a strained oblique and QB McCaffrey most likely out having been concussed in Madison.  If Michigan plays QB Milton it could be exciting.

If Michigan gets their heads together, I can't see the other team staying remotely close here.

I'd like Rutgers' chances a little better if they were at home.

This bodes very bad for Rutgers. M will want to kick the tar out of someone after last week, and Hapless Rutgers is coming to town. I think this will be a 70-3 type game. 

Have I pushed that the Scarlet knights need to change their colors? I'm thinking Purple and Green. Too much red in this conference, and as the perennial bottom feeders they should change.

Don't tell that to the SEC.  They've got two Bulldogs and two Tigers.  And the Tigers are in the same division.

Nowadays, they actually have THREE Tigers.  Two are in the same division.  One is in the other.

I used to say about LSU, Auburn, and (in the adjacent conference) Clemson that they had 3 schools, 4 colors, and 1 team name.

I'm be in attendance.  I try to go to one game a year with my dad, although I missed last year.  This year will be kind of cool because it will be my son's first game, so a three generation thing.  He's the same age as I was when I went to my first (Michigan-Maryland in 1990).

Bayou Bengals?  Alabama is the Red Elephants.  LSU's web site says Tigers, plain and simple.

I think LSU is the Tigers in honor of a number of Louisiana units nicknamed "Tigers" in the Civil War.

LSU's men's and women's sports teams are called the Fighting Tigers, Tigers or Lady Tigers.
During its first three sports seasons, LSU played without a nickname.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Eye_of_the_Tiger-2) For the inaugural LSU–Tulane football game in 1893, the New Orleans newspapers referred to the LSU football team as the Baton Rouge "boys", but that was not an official nickname.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Eye_of_the_Tiger-2) At the start of the 1896 football season, the football team had its first nickname and was referred to as the "Pelicans".[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Eye_of_the_Tiger-2) A former football player on the 1896 team said in a 1929 interview in the New Orleans Item-Tribune (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Item-Tribune) that the team was known as the "Pelicans" and had a Pelican insignia sewn on their jackets.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Eye_of_the_Tiger-2)
During the same fall 1896 football season, LSU first adopted its "Tigers" nickname during an undefeated football season.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-3) David F. Boyd, president of LSU, tagged the football team as the "Tigers".[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Tigers-4) The school's nickname seemed like a logical choice since most collegiate teams in that year bore the names of ferocious animals and "Tigers" also referred to the Tiger Rifles. Additionally, the "Tigers" nickname has a long history in Louisiana military history.[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Louisiana_Tigers-5) In the Mexican–American War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican–American_War), four different volunteer units used the nickname.[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Louisiana_Tigers-5) One of these volunteer units was the Washington Artillery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/141st_Field_Artillery_Regiment).[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Tigers-4) It is a militia unit that traces its history to 1838 and has a logo that features a snarling tiger's head.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Tigers-4) The tiger symbol used by LSU came from the Washington Artillery logo.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Tigers-4) In 1955, it was head football coach Paul Dietzel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Dietzel) and the LSU 'fourth-quarter ball club' that helped the moniker "Tigers" grow into the nickname, "Fighting Tigers".[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Eye_of_the_Tiger-2)[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_University_traditions#cite_note-Tigers-4)

You're talking about Smokey and Reveille, Brutus.
In the realm of mascot cartoons, I liked the old ones like these.

Back to the game.

This was Michigan's best showing since last year's Penn State game. The play-calling was pretty good and the offense executed well for the most part. None of the starters had a fumble, and Patterson's INT wasn't bad. The one concern I have on offense is in goal-line situations since they primarily scored on QB keepers to the outside, whereas last year they'd have put Ben Mason in (I don't think it would be a bad idea at this point to move him back to FB if he can lose enough weight).

The defense wasn't as good as the stats show, but it was they best they've played in awhile. They got to the QB, didn't commit any stupid penalties, didn't allow any really big plays, and played the run really well. They allowed some short passes that have burned Michigan in the past, and they didn't get any turnovers except on special teams, but no complaints otherwise. Nothing particularly notable on special teams.

Overall, this should give Michigan the confidence they needed. Iowa should be a close game, since both teams dominated Rutgers and Middle Tennessee now.

also: all this meritocricy bs is just that. bs. i saw more from Dax Hill and Cam McGrone today than I have from any safety or LB on that team all year. How these two aren't starting is beyond me. Both of them were 5*'s to 247Sports for a reason. Dax was one of the highest rated safeties in years. McGrone was a borderline composite 5* and a 5* to 247. They are both just on another level athletically than anyone Michigan has at LB or S right now. It just looks different when they are in the game. Those are future NFL draft picks. And probably high ones.
