That was a critical win for Michigan's bowl eligibility chances. After the last two weeks, I think we now know that bowl eligibility is about the highest realistic aspiration this team has. Michigan coached this game as if they were afraid of their QB, and it's tough to argue they were wrong. Just an unholy mess of a game, and one Michigan was very fortunate to win.

We are currently witnessing unprecedented QB development fail. Between two highly touted freshmen and an experienced fifth year senior who is a good athlete we don't have a QB who is better than Nick Sheridan. And the fifth year senior was a legitimately better QB as a true freshman than he is now.

Originally posted by maxreturn View PostMy guess is that Harbaugh won't do this because he doesn't want to set him up for failure. Too many weaknesses on the offensive line, no stellar tight end and WR's that don't get separation and run good routes.
The run game today averaged over 6 ypc today and we couldn't even play action our way to three yards per pass attempt. If the next guy off the bench nets 59 yards on 20 passing plays then he will be no worse than who we've got now.

The WRs are young, and when they do run good routes, the ball isn't getting there. I think the TEs are fine-- Gentry, in particular, is on his way to becoming a terrific player, and McKeon is contributing. Gentry was wide open on a deep cross in the first half, only for O'Korn to chuck one up into double coverage. I don't put much of this on the receivers and backs. Maybe the film review says something different, but I doubt it.
The only positive from today-- Michigan averaged 6.2 yards a carry on a day where the ground game got no help. If you can run the ball and play good defense, you can shorten a game and give yourself a chance on the road. But, absent some bizarre improvement in the passing game, a small chance is all Michigan's got against Penn State.
