I didn't expect Don Brown's defense to give up that many yards and that many points, but as of now, that's an aberration. There are too many variables at play to make me think it happens again this season. It was a road game against a top 5 team, who was coming off a bye week and possessed the best QB-RB tandem in the country. Nobody else is built like that, but McCray will be taken advantage off going forward.

Say whatever you want about McSorely, but Joe Moorhead puts him in the best position to succeed. O'Korn had to make much more difficult reads than McSorely despite facing an inferior defensive unit.

In any case, most forecasts had us winning around 9-3/8-4 and we're certainly trending in that direction. We aren't at the point where we can just reload because haven't gotten to the point where our offense has been good enough to compete. When you have to take 2 transfer QBs and have been looking for grad transfers at offensive line for 2 years, then you're not there as a program.

Next year is Harbaugh's 4th year and his first recruiting class will be seniors; for me, that's when things will start to crystallize. Also, I have a hard time believing there won't be a shake-up with the offensive staff. We're a cash-flush university, we can eat a few salaries if it means better results.

There’s a new thing now that we aren’t to have high expectations as Michigan fans and that we aren’t on OSU, Alabama, Clemson level to expect championship level football because “we just aren’t”. No reasons in particular, we just aren’t and that’s that. fukk that. My expectation for this offseason is for Harbaugh to hire the top offensive mind in COLLEGE football just like he did for the defense. Not anything less, because you don’t need five 5th year seniors to have a good offensive line and you don’t have to have a 3rd year starter at qb to have someone that can recognize a blitz. Regardless of what you hear this coming week.

We had 5th year SR O-linemen that still sucked:bryan:.I agree with your overall thoughts but honestly what top minds in CFB today run this type of offense?Stanford?Wisconsin?

This past week Drevino kept saying we must ''stay the course" :heh:we are one of the worst offenses in CFB:wtf: get this fakkit:camby:here. Our D needs to be damn near 85 Bears defense to be able to compete with top teams:why:.IDC how good Brown is 10 new starters its unfair to put those type of expectations on the defense especially with that many new starters:beli:.Got Rutgers,Minnesota,&Maryland offensively we better improve before they travel to Madison:sadbron: .Wisconsin has the potential to make our offense look worse then anybody we've played all year:to:

PSU doesn't run a pro style offense
yea i missed the part about harbs style offense. you can hire a top guy. and meet in the middle on some shyt. this staff they have now just isnt cutting it, scheme wise and development wise. great offensive minds can scheme/play call/put their guys in position to succeed more often than not in any system. theirs does none of that most of the time

That’s a sign itself. Can’t even say this offense is ‘pro style’. An offense like Louisville is more pro style in 2017. I like smash mouth and it works.......when you have an offensive line. We had one for 40 years, and no longer. Having two offensive line coaches doesn’t work. Changes need to be made and very soon

Been saying it since the end of last season Drevino must go.Our O-line has been :trash: against any defense with a pulse for 3 straight years now.That position group supposed to be his speciality :beli:.Frey has to be the full time O-line coach his lines at IU were very good for the talent they got.I get Drevino been with Harbaugh since the San Diego days but he has to see this shyt isn't working:upsetfavre:
