| GAME THREAD 🏈 Michigan vs Alabama 🏈 ~ 4 PM CT on ESPN

Michigan has stuck to their scouting report but they've done it with trick formations and trick plays. Bama has tried to hit some deep balls in 1st down situations into Michigan blitzes and bad o-line blocking. We really need to just keep pounding it and let the run game open up the pass game.

D needed that 3 and out.

D-Line needs to start getting more pressure though. But a great stop. Offense has to start picking up chunk yardage. Seems like a field position game right now.

Take it to the house boys!

Come on Jalen. Got to make more pre snap reads. Not going to be able to set back there and scan the field. There game plan is to stop Milroe.

Major battles on los.

 

[BamaFan334]

We need a first down. Ain't worried about an explosive play. First down gets us near midfield and we can go to work from there.

He's reading 1 receiver, he's throwing to that guy no matter the coverage situation. So hard to sack him in the 2 seconds he has the ball. If we can get a lead and force him to be a full-time passer we'll definitely see him holding the ball more and having to read multiple targets.

Just in general though, the D needs to generate more pressure up front and disrupt their plays. Right now, they're running with success.

I have watched UM play 4-5 times this year. Our head football coach and 2 assistants are die hard UM fans. They are doing exactly what they have done all year on offense and defense. They use their TE’s better than any team in the country. They usually always have 2 on the field and sometimes 3.

Huge possession right there and the offense shit all over themselves.

With big chunks of corn

 

[Bammerboy321]

Proctor did not even attempt to block there

 

[alabamajack]

A first down would be nice.

Our O line did not practice this week. They were too busy going to Disney land and the Hollywood walk of fame.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Nothing so far to get Bond or Burton the ball quick. Some slants or quick passes would be wonderful to alleviate the rush.

 

[BamaFan334]

Tired of these damn commercials.

 

[bamafan9201]

My goodness, we're looking terrible in play calling and o-line right now. Those guys better wake-up the defense can't hold onto this stalemate forever. Maybe Kirk's right, we need to attack their edges and take the pressure off the middle of the o-line.

He has not improved at all this year. I've seen puppets with better foot speed and technique than he has had

A timeout is supposed to be :30, no? Every commercial break is like 30 minutes long.
