You can blame Rees all you want, but the defense fell apart

In the last 4 minutes and overtime.

We shouldn't have even been in the position to lose the way we did if the defense did their job.

Looked like Pete Golding was still walking the sideline.

Great adjustments at halftime

Ran out of juice. Not surprised as the offense was mostly inept tonight.

They held Michigan to 7 points in two whole quarters, pretty damn good.

The offense is to blame.

How many 3 and outs did we have in the game?

Can't lay the loss at the feet of the defense

Sadly true. They really just ran over us. I hate that all the Michigan fans were right about our LB’s getting confused. 32 and 30 weren’t great tonight.

Play calling late sucked. Seth blew it and we should get a new center in the portal. Jalen could've played better. Overall, we just didn't play well enough to win. It's no single person's fault. Michigan deserved it.

They no doubt got some Golding DNA still in them. Gonna take some time to get rid of it.

But the offense was putrid all game. Rees sucks.

Defense held Michigan to 20

We have an OC so damn stupid he forgets to move the pocket. He forgets to roll out. He forgets to use the edge.

What makes it worse is he rarely schemes a busted coverage. We have to literally line up and beat everyone yet other teams use misdirection and other things to beat us.

Offensive play selection was HORRIBLE (zero imagination) and the offensive line got SMOKED pretty much all game. Milroe held on to the ball way too long.

Jalen and the OL should get some blame too. Offense as a whole sucked.

Their receivers were more open. Their running back was more dynamic. Their defensive line was much better than our OL.

We had the edge on special teams. Probably a toss up at QB.

They were just better in too many phases of the game.

Our defense has never been the same since that game. It's like it destroyed the aura of invincibility that was there for 8 seasons prior. During those years if we needed the D to win a game, they dang sure put the nail in the coffin.

This … you don’t have to like them to give them credit. I don’t think we “quit” or “fell apart,” they executed.

Was unbelievable to watch. Just a complete breakdown. I was sure we were going to stop them again to win the game.

We should have called time out there. Was a huge mistake.

Let’s not forget Michigan running the ball twice for an easy TD in OT.

Trash. Soft.
