Mich-Iowa @ the Half...

Post by lidoshuffle » Sat Dec 02, 2023 9:47 pm

Michigan's O-Line getting clowned by Iowa's front four, JJ sacked four times already...
I expect them to be very aggressive and downright pissed off coming out of halftime...

I can see this game ending 10-0, 13-3, something like that.

I think Iowa has 3 sacks to its credit, but I agree, lidoshuffle. The O-line injury issues are hurting Michigan on offense and greatly hampering their run game.

Michigan has been superb defensively so far (thankfully).

I predict a Michigan win. Final score: Michigan 20; Iowa 10.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

The B1G 10 half time show is a Dr Pepper contest? Cutting edge stuff.

If Iowa had any offense to speak of… Michigan would lose. And people expect a playoff game to go any better than the last two did…

I don't
If we play a remotely high powered offense that’s coupled with a decent defense we’ll lose by double digits. This style of football died a long while ago.

Iowa has the 7th best defense in the nation. Alabama, as a point of comparison, is 16th.

FOX staying in commercial while they announce the review and explain why and it’s aftermath is completely unacceptable. I miss the old days when it was on ABC.

That whole ruling reversal and no brainier touchdown is why this game is no longer fun.

It's just lawyers and coaches who no longer just let the game play out.

The referees ruled correctly on the review. That was absolutely a fumble by the Iowa QB. Joel Klatt on FOX seems like a nice guy but he espouses stupidity at times.

Kudos to Harbaugh for forcing the review that changed the incomplete pass to a ruling of a fumble by Iowa and recovery by Michigan.

We should win this game. But without a fumble and an 80 some yard punt return it would be 3-0.

It’s pretty clear on the replay in slow motion that his hand was coming forward ever so slightly.

Why should those great plays be discounted?

I disagree. His arm was straight up when he lost control.
