--Too much rhino. Whit needs to kill that, dial it way back.
--Not enough touches for Marshall, Marsh and Hiter. They need to find a way.
--No downfield passing attack (we see what Bryce can do arm wise on the Hail Mary)
--Strange play calls. On the bad Bryce pick, why are we throwing to the sideline with 11 seconds left in the half instead of airing it out downfield?
--Bad OL play. WTF did Harding do? Can that be fixed asap?

One thing I didn't mention is that Whit said the captains/leaders were not happy after the game and he liked their leadership and reaction. I think that is a good sign. But it's not going to fix things that Beck and Harding can't fix.

Back to the board

Watching all the M highlights and Karsch/Jansen show plus interviews with Whit and some players.... - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 11:59:56 AM
- The chance that they can fix both the O line and BU's issues in a week against a vastly superior opponent is essentially zero.* - By tman September 6, 2026 at 12:13:09 PM
  - We had a strong run blocking OL last year. Did Harding screw them up? Do we really need El Hadi and Crippen? That area s/b a strength* - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 01:08:58 PM
  - for some reason I thought Tommy Carr is RS Fr. He's a true freshman. While the calls for Tommy to replace Bryce will increase after the Oklahoma game, it's just not going to work* - By 6p September 6, 2026 at 12:18:02 PM
    - He is 19 but yeah still a non-5 star true Fr* - By LewisBullox September 6, 2026 at 01:18:12 PM
    - just spring game but carr was better than BU imo. carr has some juice* - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 12:19:04 PM
      - his brother started as a RS Fr for ND and was impressive (for a RS Fr)* - By 6p September 6, 2026 at 12:22:22 PM
  - correct and bu might just not be fixable. I am not seeing any green shoots. he is the same guy as last year* - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 12:15:18 PM
    - I'm in the give Carr a chance camp. - By tman September 6, 2026 at 12:25:49 PM
      - no argument here, his instincts are trash tier* - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 12:38:53 PM
- Next week may be Bryce's career at Michigan. If he looks like dogshit again, his trajectory and this season are going to turn very negatively - By Beave September 6, 2026 at 12:13:04 PM
  - If Sherrone is still in AA, they should hire him (1099) as an OL consultant* - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 12:18:24 PM
- One of the reasons why the offense struggled is that they chose to play Manuel Beigel on like 60% of offensive snaps. (nm) - By suede September 6, 2026 at 12:07:02 PM
  - Yep, see my post below. Imagine if that was Hiter instead. More weapons* - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 12:07:56 PM
    - it should be Colston/Barner/Klein type player* - By 6p September 6, 2026 at 12:10:44 PM
      - Hansen would be great if he was healthy. Might be Bonner eventually* - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 12:11:24 PM
- he's late stage pete carroll with 1/2 the coaching chops. he just stares out puzzled. michigan is in a world of hurt next week* - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 12:02:23 PM
  - I think you've never watched an Utah game. that's his look* - By 6p September 6, 2026 at 12:19:54 PM

    - i don't feel that you can fix an offense (and qb) this bad in season. they didn't let bu go live one time in fall camp. huge mistake, kid wilts under any pressure* - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 12:10:05 PM
