Michigan Monday: Needs To Move On To Indiana

The Michigan fan base exploded on Saturday night.  Many started to question game plans, play calling, formations, coaching,  2 point conversions, etc.   There was a lot to chew on after that debacle on Saturday night.   Jimmy and his staff have a lot of work to do as the schedule only gets tougher as the season continues towards Thanksgiving.


Let's take a look at IU: 


IU is 2-2 with a couple of lopsided loses to PSU and OSU.   They also had the FIU game cancelled due to Irma.   They are coming off a 27-0 win over Charleston Southern last weekend.


Pass Yards: 260 per (46th)
Rush Yards: 149 per (79th)


Points Scored: 30 per (69th)
Points Against: 26 per (59th)


ESPN Big 10 Power Ranking:  8th


As you know, IU plays fast break basketball on grass.  This will be a 11:00AM kick off locally and if the Wolverines are sleep walking again in the first half, they will find themselves down a couple scores.

Like I'm sure many of you have wondered all Sunday.  What the hell is going on with Michigan's offense?   Here are my concerns:

• It's hard to see this on TV but it looks like Michigan WR's are not getting open.  This on the WR's and the play calling.   In a couple of those picks, it seemed they had two WR's in the same place.
• Why can't we teach these 4 star offensive lineman how to block?  Michigan has two offensive line coaches in Drevno and Frey.   What is the deal here?
• Is Pep helping or hurting?  Where is the West Coast offense we were told was coming this year?  The Michigan offense is predictable and not at all effective.  Is the offense/formations too complicated?

Someone pointed this out on Mgoblog but why haven't we seen more of a demonstrative sideline coaching from Harbaugh?   Does he think this young team couldn't handle it?


I also think Michigan miss managed the storm.  The forecasters predicted the storm very accurately and Michigan should have considered going for two after their TD in the second half. 


With all that, the coaches didn't turn the ball over 5 times.   That is on the players and they have to play better as well.   Only one turnover was done by a young player, sophomore Sean McKeon the rest were given up by upper classman.


Lots to work on this week.
