Is Michigan officially a dead program like Nebraska?

[Sgt Brutus]

This is what a dead blue blood looks like

 

[navamind]

Well.... shoelace...

QB... but yeah. They haven't had any real running threat since Denard.
















HAPPY?

 

[huskers1217]

Ordinarily I'd have something to say.

I thought you were just a that posted the list

 

[olympicoscar]

they haven't had a good RB since Hart.

That's another good point.

HAPPY?

Yes

Michigan, Notre Dame and Nebraska will never be what they once were. Maybe every 3/4 years they can contend for a title, but all will have a hard time doing what Bama/Clemson/Ohio State are currently doing.

At least that's what I think about Notre Dame. The Lou Holtz days aren't coming back.

 

[7Samurai13]

Yes


(I loved DRob.)

So did I

 

[TheDayMan]

If we didn't have the #1 defense in the country, I might be inclined to agree. But that's the best defense I've ever seen, so it's hard to say its' anything like Hoke. Hoke never did anything the best I've ever seen.

#7 defense. If you care about stats that matter, anyway...

The only stats that matter are the ones that make Michigan look the bestest.

#7 doesn't make us look bad....

Never said it did.

When talking to a Michigan fan, that much is clear.

Two of the touchdowns by Michigan opponents were on pick sixes.

Why do you think this?

completely agree.

Maybe @TrustMeIamRight can explain to you why those should count against your defense.

my point is, points allowed per game isn't the greatest measure for scoring defense if it includes touchdowns on interceptions/fumble returns.

I agree, just like defensive/special teams touchdowns shouldn't be included in what the offense score per game.

Does it?

 

[navamind]

Does it?

yes. Michigan opponents have scored 68 points (offense/defense/special teams/whatever). 68 divided by 5 is 13.6.
