"81 players, 56 points. Michigan delivers its most complete game in years"
"ANN ARBOR -- The most impressive number from Saturday's game at Michigan Stadium wasn't 56 (Michigan's point total), or 39 (Nebraska's rushing yards; Michigan's halftime lead), or three (Ben Manson's rushing touchdowns).
It was 81, the number of Wolverines that saw the field Saturday in what was most likely a program record for participation."

ND is in the top 10. They were ranked 12 week 1 and only lost by 7, held ND to 3 points in the second half. Michigan played a ranked team in week one. While every other team played a cupcake team or a tuneup game. Michigan found out what they needed to work on. Wisconsin,Penn st and Mich st is next month all ranked in the top 20.
Everything is still in front of them. The talent is there like I have been saying. They are gelling at the right time
These dudes balled out on Saturday and have earned our Offensive and Defensive PLAYERS OF THE WEEK honors! #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/Xuor8RoxBi

Remember the center Braylon Edwards said was garbage in week one? Well.. Cesar Ruiz got Player of the week award so he is progressing, the oline are communicating and learning how to play with each other quickly.. That's all I can ask for.
The defense will keep us in games but if this offense gets going. Watch out like I have been saying. 40 points in the last 3 games from the offense. They couldn't buy a td last year. Tarik Black is healing quickly and might be back by the Wisconsin game as well. Nico Collins, Oliver Martin and Donavon Peoples-Jones are helping Shea Patterson. When Tariq Black comes back. This offense could be potent along with this run game.

"Communication for us is huge," Bredeson said. "I felt like we didn't talk enough in the early weeks especially in the Notre Dame game. Now, we're not only communicating, we're over-communicating and things are going well for us on the line once we were able to talk through the looks and see what we have. That gives (center) Cesar (Ruiz) a full picture of what's going on and he can make all the adjustments. Once we make our calls, you saw what happened last week where we can take advantage of certain looks and big plays."

That was pretty neat seeing all the backups get in. That walk-on RB that got a scholarship was cool except for him running the wrong route on one play. I don't care what the ref said that was a good block by the WR and D'Caff scored a TD. Looks like he got his mom's speed.

4.1.3 - Q1 5:37 - 3rd & 11 - UM47 - Gentry catch for 21 yards

Nebraska brings a LB and safety blitz late. Good protection overall and a great play-call for the blitz. Patterson finds Gentry on crossing route for a big gain. pic.twitter.com/mYN3yb40Jw
Nice breakdown of how this offensive line is maturing and gelling as the season progresses with their blitz pick up and Shea Patterson standing in the pocket for a strike..

4.1.8 - Q2 6:44 - 1st & 10 - NEB34 - Higdon run for 25 yards
— Stephen Osentoski (@StephenToski) September 26, 2018
Another Down-G play. Higdon breaks a TON of tackles and play is extremely well-blocked. Bredeson, Ruiz, and McKeon do especially well on their assignments. pic.twitter.com/eLb0ZOTYcg
Offensive line starting to click, much to learn but the growth is evident for all to see.
This is exactly what I have been saying early on. If the offensive line continues to grow and mature as the season progresses this offense will turn into a potent weapon.

Penalties not a lack of talent killed them today...

Were there penalties because they are not good, or are they not good because of penalties?

Is that going to be resolved vs Wsc, MSU, OSU? Because it was a pretty big vs ND.

"Jim Harbaugh, Michigan football confused by 'phantom' holding call"
https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2018/09/30/michigan-football-jim-harbaugh/1473186002/
Penalties gotta get cleaned up but this was the worst call in college football probably in history. That was a costly penalty the refs should be ashamed of themselves. We were driving and had our momentum going.. It could have cost us the game.
These refs are starting to make s**t up and it's a disgrace to college football.
Defense still shut them down after the 17 points but if the refs aren't going to call a fair game anymore against Harbaugh then we definitely going to lose. It doesn't matter what this team achieves if the refs aren't going to call a fair game.
It will be ashame because they are learning how to win in different situations.
Posters talk about my "bias" but in reality most hate Michigan for some reason or another.. Alot of Paul Finebums out there.
