Yes

Wow, they're ranked #15 in 247 right now with 20 commits. They have a solid defensive recruiting class coming in. I have no idea how they pulled this out of their ass. We'll see if that translates into good seasons. Rutgers brought like 20+ potential recruits to watch the Rutgers vs Michigan game and they lost by 100 points. It helped Badgers flip a good RB.

Another player burned who is that?

Devin Bush

Edit: Confirmed it was him

WTF just happened? How did Michigan just get beat for 63 yards? Gamecast says it was a penalty.

Freshman LB got beat on a short slant for a long gain. Facemask added on at the end.

Faskmask on the tackle.

Agreed. Get out of there with all players healthy

We must start a petition to get Maryland and Rutgers out of the BIG now. This is embarrassing.

Or at least guarantee every other team in the conference a game against one of them each season to even things one. That way we can play 9 conference games and still have a scrub.

That sucks. You guys came closer to a shutout than we did. We relinquished a TD at the end of the half. As of right now the top two defenses are in the country are in the big with Mich and Wisconsin. Wisconsin is doing it with many backups and vs high scoring offenses and Michigan is just giving up nothing to everyone except MSU.

You guys have Purdue and Illinois..it evens out.

Even so, I think yours was more impressive. Northwestern has been putting up points on everyone.

While I can't speak for everyone, I was pretty annoyed we went into prevent at the start of the 4th and let MSU make it look closer than it was.

I'm okay with Smith in the game, but get our starting OL out already.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I think this is the most passing yards given up this season.

 

[Great Dayne]

Michigan is now the #1 ranked defense and #2 ranked offense in PPG. I think Mich is still a couple points behind Louiville but you're playing in a conference with much better defenses.

 

[umichgradfan]

Okay, O'Korn to Crawford TD.

 

[Great Dayne]

I expect Michigan to be ranked #2 after this game.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Great game but Michigan gave up a lot of yards.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I expect Michigan to be ranked #2 after this game.

Clemson is destroying their opponent also.

Shit. Well if you guys win out you'll be #2 at worst and potentially #1.

Great game! Iowa is up next--at Iowa. All phases of the team need to continue to improve. I want to see them do a lot better next week than they did this week. The defense is not going to be able to miss tackles or make half-a** tackles against Iowa. Everyone needs to show up next week!
