Not being good enough seems to be this teams identity. They just don't have anything that they are elite at. Tonight was a good example, as this might have been Michigan's most complete game. Shea defiantly played his best game of the year and it wasn't good enough.
If you are going to win on the road against a top 10 team, you can't have miss steps. Michigan had plenty tonight and even some missed calls by the below average Big Ten officials.
The one position I thought Michigan was going to be Elite at was WR, they are not. I even got into a twitter argument in August whether Michigan or Alabama had the best WR's in the country. What a fool I am. You have to be able to catch the damn ball, yes Ronnie's drop was the difference in the game but how about the 4 or 5 drops in the first half?
Yes, Michigan didn't give up and had a chance to tie the game up but they didn't. Anytime Michigan gets an important 3 and out, Hill tackles a WR, or Nico pushes off on a deep ball, or Don Brown has a safety covering one of the fastest players in the country. You can't beat good teams by making dumb mistakes. Those are all dumb mistakes.
Michigan had 417 total yards to Penn State's 283, still wasn't good enough
Michigan ran for 141 yards against the #2 rushing defense in the country, still wasn't good enough.
Michigan held the ball for 37:45 to PSU 22:15, still wasn't good enough.
Gattis had some good play calls, but some questionable runs on 3rd down, not good enough.
Don Brown ran some zone and his unit played well in the 2nd half, still not good enough.
Shea played well and made good decisions but still threw a bad pick, not good enough.
You can't get down 21 points to a top 10 team on the road and think your going to win, not good enough.
When the lights are the brightest Harbaugh continues to be not good enough.
Good thing we have another top 10 team to play next weekend. Michigan AD, not good enough.
