What about our team will match up with osu, we don’t have the depth of talent that they have, not sure, but hopefully Milton beats out mccafery
watching that game, the MVP is the osu offensive line. It seemed liked every play they were blowing up our defensive line. Payne, hutchingson and especially kemp didnt do shyt all game. Charles Woodson is rolling over in his grave, kemp should NOT be wearing #2...
But it's reminiscent of last years game when gary and winovich didn't do anything either. Speaking of gary, was there ever a top recruit we ever had that coveted but had a such lackluster career at michigan? I digress on that.
You're right we do not have the depth, talent, recruits, and most of all coaching to master them. Last season Paris campbell and haskins looked like jerry rice and montana out there.
The good news is Jk is leaving after the season(hopefully) as a first round draft pick, the bad news is Fields is coming back and Im sure OSU will reload again. I honestly think the fanbase and alumni as a whole are okay with winning 9-10 games a year and never beating OSU. The loudest I heard harbaughs critics were when we lost to wisconsin.
I just think now the program is at a standstill... Its time for some of us to stop being so pretentious, we are not on the level with top tier programs, I honestly think if we had won today, harbaugh would've left for the NFL. But his stock is low now so he will probably come back..

There was nothing winovich and Gary could do getting double teamed and the dt not winning one on ones, Don has adapted and doing what he can, but if we don’t have dt’s That can cause trouble, and more DB’s with speed or lock down talent or intelligence to run his defense then we will be in trouble, most people don’t know what brown is doing is nfl level defense with his doubles and zone takes, but they ready to run us out of time

They beat up on garbage teams and Notre dame in terrible weather.
3 best teams they played=3 losses. 0-5 against osu. Couldn’t even beat Ohio state without urban Meyer. It’s time for a change.

Ohio states talent difference is not that great where they are dropping 60 on Michigan two years in a row. Damn near all the players out there starting for Michigan was probably also recruited by Ohio state.

Key word standing, the talent on the bench separates us, also when some talent graduates to the league or a degree/league we don’t always have their talent level or better stepping in to replace right away, also the sheer number of 4.3-4.4’s out there too

The talent on the bench is on the bench. We talking bout the players that are starting and getting the pt.

Thinking shyt will change because the nikka at the top is different, is the definition of madness, until we lower admission standards, and academics, until we willing to get them horses that money buys, then we can’t compete, osu is doing the things necessary to compete with the Clemson’s, Uga, bama and LSU’s of the world so until we ready to do that, anything short of Jesus/Bill Walsh/Pete Carroll/vince Lombardi/bill Belichek coming into coach don’t mean a got damn thing
You know that shyt is misleading. Dude had a dozen drops in the second half. That pick was awful because he threw it into four defenders but he was probably done at that point. DPJ had just dropped another pass right before it.
Michigan's Jim Harbaugh testy after his fifth consecutive loss to Ohio State
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- After Ohio State cruised to a 56-27 win over Michigan on Saturday, coach Jim Harbaugh took exception to questions about where the biggest gap is between two programs that seem to be further apart than ever.
Ohio State beat Michigan for the eighth straight time -- the Wolverines' longest streak in the series -- and Harbaugh dropped to 0-5 against his team's biggest rival. In their past two games in the series, Ohio State has scored 118 points, leaving Michigan with few answers in the aftermath.
When asked whether the biggest gap involved talent, preparation or coaching, Harbaugh responded, "I'll answer your questions, not your insults."
Pressed again about the biggest gap, Harbaugh said, "They played really good. They played better today."
Harbaugh refused to give much else in response to his team's struggles to beat Ohio State, saying only, "I thought our team was well prepared. I thought they were playing good football. I thought it was a good football fight, and it got away from us today. Give them credit for playing well."
After another question about how much he personally wants to beat Ohio State, Harbaugh offered, "We really want to win the game. Yes."
Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields believes something else might be in play.
"We take it more seriously than they do," Fields said. "Like (strength coach) Mickey Marotti said, 'We're preparing for them next year right now.' It just means more at Ohio State. That's pretty much the big reason.
"I know a few players on (Michigan), and I just know the things we do in terms of workouts and how serious we take it at Ohio State. So, talking to those guys, and getting their perspective on things, I definitely see we take it more serious."
Those on the Michigan sideline would certainly take exception to that notion, but it is hard to argue with the way Ohio State has made a once-competitive rivalry so one-sided. That has led to renewed criticism about Harbaugh and whether he can get Michigan to the same level as Ohio State.
Five years in, this is his team, with his players and his vision, yet the Wolverines have looked lost with so much on the line. His players batted down the idea that there is a mental roadblock when it comes to playing Ohio State despite their recent frustrations.
"We're just as talented, I feel like, and maybe they just made a few more plays than us today, but I feel like we should have been right there, and I don't think this result should have been the result we should have seen, but it's the one that we have, and we've just got to live with that," Michigan linebacker Jordan Glasgow said.
The game Saturday started well enough for Michigan, with an opening touchdown drive that showcased the strides its offense has made over the past six weeks. But Michigan could never slow down J.K. Dobbins or Justin Fields, giving up 577 total yards. Dobbins had 211 yards rushing and four touchdowns.
This is one year after Ohio State scored 62 points, prompting even more questions about defensive coordinator Don Brown and what has gone wrong two straight seasons.
"We've got to dig down next year, see what we've got," defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson said. "You're not going to win ball games when you're letting up 50, 60 points. It's not going to happen. We're a better defense than this. We're a better team than this. We're a lot better than the numbers on this sheet."
Once again, there were too many mistakes for Michigan to overcome, including Shea Patterson's fumble inside the red zone, a penalty on an Ohio State punt that the Buckeyes turned into a touchdown, and a failed fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter when Hassan Haskins missed a wide-open hole and was stopped short.
That all led Michigan players to lament the lack of execution.
"No one's happy," Michigan tight end Sean McKeon said. "Definitely really frustrating. Just kind of the same thing every year. We've got to execute better, and it gets old, but just have to play better against them.
"They're just a team. They're not an NFL team. Just got to win your one-on-one matchups and got to have every guy on the field do his job."

Stop making excuses. Michigan football players are the same ones being recruited by everybody else. They not recruiting some type of smart player that needs to be admitted to Michigan. And if you think Michigan not gonna lower the bar for top athletes then i got some ocean front property in Taylor to sell you.
