I’m a buckeyes fan and from Ohio, I visited Ann Arbor a few months ago in my Ohio state shirt and actually stopped to eat at blimpys burger about 30 seconds from the stadium. Everyone was so nice and because I drove so far the workers there hooked up up with a bunch of food. Best burger I ever had too. Anyways good luck next week, this will be amazing to watch.

[@julianharrison7193]

This game really showed how out of sync the passing game is. McCarthy just barely missing WRs, WRs dropping easy balls and not creating separation. Frustrating cause the potential is there

[@thecourier7964]

McCarthy is a QB with a lot of potential and the receivers can be phenomenal but there just isn’t any sync there.

[@tedrush8]

He needs to work on feet placement they were mentioning that on the air that can be the issue with ball placement it’s either just a little long or little short

[@millertimeast]

Also McCarthy doesn’t to know how to throw the ball with touch, he just throws it at everyone like an mlb pitcher. But McCarthy is better that Cade. But what about the other QBs like warren Davis can they actually throw the ball with finesse? I hope so because if it comes down to passing game against Ohio we are fucked. We will haft to sub out McCarthy to win 😂 I think McCarthy has a ton to learn.

[@danielchavira9968]

@@millertimeast I think our O line can bully their defense and push them around. If Corum and Edwards is back that should help plus our passing game opens up more with Edwards. JJ always seems to connect with Edwards every time he throws it to him.

[@julianharrison7193]

@@millertimeast Unless McCarthy starts with 3 INTs, they'll leave him in the whole game. I felt like last season, Cade was always good for a couple nice deep shots a game. But, JJ is way more dynamic, just needs to learn not to throw his arm out on every deep ball

[@BigLar56321]

Two key plays that nearly cost Michigan the game: (1) Corum's injury and fumble inside the red zone, just as it looked as if we would maybe get a touchdown before the half to make it a much more comfortable 14-3 lead going into the second half. Instead, we lose possession and worse, we lose Corum for the rest of the game (at least); and (2) that fourth down play where we not only don't get a clear offsides call but have a ball that should have been a touchdown go right through our receiver's hands. That's a big swing if those plays are otherwise. I hope Corum can go next week, and that we get some sticky gloves for our receivers.

As a Michigan fan that was a really disappointing performance, but all that matters is to be 100% next week and have our players well prepared, running game needs to get better, and passing play, and play calling. If we fix those problems we will be set.

[@WhyIsThisHappening83]

Lol 😂 running game needs to get better? Corum just needs to be healthy. The issue is not the running game, have you been watching this season or did you just tune in? What needs to get better is the coaching and passing game and unfortunately, one week is not enough to take care of those issues. We can't string two throws in a row. We are not explosive at all. The only positive is that we had a bunch of key players out, we were down and still found a way

Receivers can’t catch a cold. Colston Loveland is that dude, besides him a bunch of underachievers. Ronnie Bell isn’t a number 1 or number 2. Cornelius Johnson can’t play dead in a horror movie. Roman Wilson can play but they never scheme him open. JJ has all the talent but inept coaching, limited reps and garbage WR play has failed him. That’s what happens when you run over and over and over against cupcakes when you should’ve been getting your QB in a rhythm during that time. Dumb dinosaur of a head coach way of thinking.

What bothers me is that we brought this onto ourselves. Our coaching is terrible and not just during the game. We talked about not looking ahead and being completely focused on Illinois but that is clearly not the case. You don't sit down half of your offensive players when they are capable of playing in the current game unless you are looking ahead to next week. Morris, Schiemaker, Edwards, Keegan, higdan, could all have played and instead, we sat them out for precautionary reasons, if that is not looking ahead, I don't know what is smh 🤦🏼‍♂️ Oh, and our passing game sucks. Can't string two completions together, play calling sucks, receivers can't catch, they can't even create separation. At least the defense was somewhat good

[@soarinskies1105]

This game really demonstrated how unprepared Michigan looks for their upcoming game against ohio state. Michigan 100% should have lost this game. The offense once again couldn’t get it going in the first half. And the wolverines once again kept choking in the red zone, or coming up empty entirely, even after it seemed like the universe was trying to hand Michigan the win. Take the 4th quarter, Illinois punted the ball from their own 11 and Michigan ended up returning it to the Illinois 38. Fantastic field position to start the drive. They get to the 26 and then they spit the bit and have to settle for a field goal. Illinois starts driving down the field on their next possession and look like they are gonna go in, and they come up short at the Michigan 31 instead of kicking the field goal because they went for it. Michigan got the ball back and started marching down the field, they look like they are gonna go in, they get down to the 23, convert a gutsy 4th down, and then they get down to the 13 and choke in the red zone for like the 500th time this season. They settle for a field goal again. Illinois gets the ball back again and they do absolutely nothing with it and have to punt. and if you thought the universe didn’t want Michigan to win badly enough, Illinois punter had one of his worst punts all season of a measly 30 yards. So Michigan starts off basically on Illinois side of the field. they look like they are gonna spit the bit again and turn it over on downs and the refs gift them a catch that probably shouldn’t have been a catch on 4th down, then Illinois conveniently shoots themselves in the foot again and commits a timely pass interference penalty sealing the game for Michigan to kick the game winning field goal as time expired. This was by far in part one of the worst games of football I have ever seen Michigan play this season.

@@josephmanzella7456 at the end of the day they always had the opportunity. They did what they needed to and pulled out a win!

y’all said TCU is overrated, now say Michigan is overrated. Illinois and Baylor are both very good teams who shouldn’t be slept on. let’s see how OSU does today

[@gunpuppy3533]

If the majority of people believe a team is overrated, then the team isn’t actually overrated. Most fans don’t even understand what overrated means.

[@James-mm6jh]

GO BLUE! Illinois is much better than the one win northwestern team ohio struggled with earlier in the season. Better hope the wind and weather are good in Columbus lol

[@James-mm6jh]

Both are 11-0, so what's your point Skippy? Haha

[@lauriejones8146]

Michigan isn’t overrated, Blake Corum was injured

[@terellwhite3361]

Illinois nor Baylor is a good team.

[@TheCollectorCave]

We had key players out and Blake got hurt, but no excuses. That was FAR too close and the defense got its first taste of a great running back this year. Glad we won, but if we lay an egg like this next week it will be a big fat loss to OSU. Surely we will drop out of Top 4 this week because we all know the committee hates Michigan and all other teams that are not in the SEC. Hopefully IF we win next week we jump back in.

[@n4nurfknb1ness52]

Why would Michigan be out of the top 4? They are undefeated they’ll stay right where they are at.

[@lilsej8000]

if we win next week we should be 2 maybe 1

[@kevinglennN]

We know they hate Michigan but they won’t drop them from the top 4. Illinois is a good team, it was a very cold windy day. No excuses but we’ll see

[@TheCollectorCave]

@@lilsej8000 We won't top Georgia nor should we at this point. They beat #1 and a good Oregon team this year. I'd take #2 though.

What happened to Blake corum?

Fans booing because the ref made a good call about a fumble is funny

[@tomitstube]

illinois playing not to lose... you're on the road against number 3, you just need a 1st down or two in the 4th quarter and you don't get it done. defense was exceptional.

[@josephmanzella7456]

Well said! Illinois is 7-4 and could have easily won all 4 games lost. Illinois doesn't have the depth of talent as Michigan;. Though well coached; they are still finding their identity as a team and as a program. However, hopefully the day of being irrelevant are over as ther are with the basketball program. As an Illinois fan, I have been waiting for the day that Illinois goes to Michigan disappointed that we let the game get away as opposed to they are simply too talented and we have no chance.

[@tomitstube]

@@josephmanzella7456 ikr? they had their chance and didn't go for it.

[@josephmanzella7456]

I agree with you. However, the.greater picture for me, Illinois has shown remarkable growth under Bielema. Hopefully, they will improve winning games like yesterday moving forward.

[@tomitstube]

@@josephmanzella7456 i don't follow illinois so you got me there, they played a number 3 well, obviously, so that's a plus for sure.

A win means you played good no matter if it was a close game, so with that being said well played Michigan

[@althings2930]

Very disappointed and frustrated that the refs missed a clear offensive pi on 4th and 3. Illinois should have known that you weren’t going to get calls at the Big House and to do a better job being more aggressive late in the game.

[@theflashcubing1566]

Michigan just clutched it

[@silverking8742]

Wow if they play like this next week their gunna get obliterated. Especially if Blake corum isn't 100%. McCarthy is not looking very good and our receivers missed some critical catches today. Those little things are what makes good teams championship teams

[@thenewlife7588]

So what round will Jake Moody go in the NFL draft?

[@TheCollectorCave]

Seeing that the NFL doesn't value kickers, probably the 6th round. Dude's a STUD and will likely be in the league for many years to come.

[@tkurz3071]

@@TheCollectorCave Knowing Detroits need for a good kicker again, I wouldnt mind them grabbing him in the 4th

How do you run 3 straight plays with 3 minutes on the clock and the other team has timeouts. It’s like they wanted to lose

[@daboizee8087]

Ima be honest, our defense really saved our asses today. I’m going to be the first to admit jj McCarthy might not be the stud we thought he was

To me it was more Jake Moody than the defense, our run defense got exposed badly in the second half, OSU going to watch this tape and will realize, they can easily avoid Mazi Smith in the interior.

Harbaugh every QB regresses in their 2nd year. Sad. Put in NC Qb and this team beats Georgia by 27. But in the 2nd year he would regress. The WRs might also be the worst in P5 aside Bell. Drops galore.
