Michigan knots the game at three.

Both defenses came to play today.

Both defenses came to play today.

 

The offenses are just overmatched right now.

[Mark_R]

come on SC, don't let me down.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Why are the announcers surprised that the defenses have dominated?

[soccer10k]

Stairway to Heaven by the Michigan marching band. I like it.

[soccer10k]

Why on 2nd, then 3rd and 1 do you run the ball right up the middle both times when you haven't been able to run the ball all game long? Where's the play action Pete? Come on.

[soccer10k]

=D>

 

That goes out to Chad Henne for the interception.

Same place it was at against UCLA. Kept running on 3rd and 4th and short against UCLA when it wasn't working. They can get very stubborn sometimes.

 

And Henne is such a bad quarterback against competent defenses.

[soccer10k]

Amazing how well it works when you fake the run in short yardage situations.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

With Michigan's offense, that might as well be game.

[soccer10k]

Michigan can't stop the pass whatsoever.

[Soul]

Yep. No adjustments by Michigan at halftime. No short routes, no quick drops, no screens to beat the blitz.

 

It's over.

They had one screen pass...it gave USC all the momentum they needed.

 

They really needed to get pressure on Booty. Too late now.

[soccer10k]

Another turnover by Michigan. If USC gets anything here, the game is all but over.

 

ETA: That would have been a killer if Jarrett could have brought that down. Booty threw it a bit too hard.

Wow, Henne.

[soccer10k]

Interesting call on 4th down by Carroll. First down.

[E.J.]

It's over.

 

I'm so tired of Lloyd Carr's bullheaded crap. The run is not working. How about trying something else for once? Is it really that big a surprise that Michigan isn't being successful when they're only calling about 5 different plays? Stupid Michigan.

As a long-time Mich fan, I heartily agree. Also, you can't expect the defense to hold up all day against an offense as talanted as USC's when you do nothing to help them.

 

BTW, Musberger is so far up USC's a** he can barely see the field.

What good thing could he possibly say about Michigan's play today?

Not the point - he is waxing poetic about all things USC.

 

And BTW, Mich's D has not been as bad you have asserted. They have been on the field against a very good offense far too long.

And it's really only been Morgan Trent who's been bad for Michigan's defense. All the big plays have been against him. It's like Booty is looking for #14 on the field and just throwing to whatever receiver he is covering.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think USC has this one in the bag.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Gotta agree here, Carr has been horribly outcoached.

[soccer10k]

Michigan's run defense has been great. Their pass defense has been horrible.
