"We didn't play Michigan football"

    Oh...I gotcha. That's the difference...down south we count the stats that actually makes a difference. Honestly, they both played about the same. Now, I can understand disliking your rival team but let's be transparent...you guys QB played about the same in the bowl game. True or False?

    Pick-6s don't make a difference? And there is one major difference, their QB was an alleged Heisman contender. Cousins, God bless him, was not and would never be.

    Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.

    Well, that was 2 years ago and Cousins already proved to be a fantastic throwing quarterback. Robinson is a 3rd year starting senior and has yet to beat anybody with his arm. Plus, if that bama DB didn't fall down giving UM a free touchdown, Robinson's stats would be even worse.

  • If doing marginally better than MSU 2010 is the SCum measuring stick for this year, we'll be expecting them to do marginally better than 11-1 the rest of the way. Good luck with that lol

  • Again, they played about the same. I think it is not the QB, I think it is the defensive scheme...ijs.

  • Sorry, I haven't read through the 7 pages.

    Honest question. Would Michigan have performed better, in this game, with RichRod as coach? Turning DeJesus McArmpunts into a pocket passer almost killed them against ND last year. Fortunately, they adjusted to his style early enough to squeak out a win. Not a chance against Bama.

  • In the last 5 seasons, Michigan is now 26-25 so they have been playing Michigan Football for quite some time now.

    I'm convinced they came up with the game plan they did to minimize the risk of injury to Denard.

    That's a dangerous game to play. Might as well bench him and other starters so that they don't get hurt playing a game plan they aren't comfortable with. Might as well just not show up and forfeit.

    and relying on his arm to win a game is a better idea ?

    If they were so worried about injuries that they game planned to specifically avoid them regardless of winning or losing, it'd be safer to just forfeit. Had they not showed up, they'd still have their starting CB.

    I hope they weren't game planning scared...I doubt they would, but of they did, there was even less a chance to win, and probably more chance of injuryx

    I want all the down votes you can give me.

    Stas C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT
    Cousins 10/18 120 6.7 0 1 Score 7 Opponent 49
    Robinson 11/26 200 7.7 1 0 Score 14 Opponent 41

    Looks to me that D. Robinson playd a better game than that of Cousins!!! Rollll Tide!!!

    What game are you referencing? Denard had 2 interceptions on Saturday. 1 was a pick six. If you're going to throw stats at us, then at least throw the right ones. Dumb fucking hick.

    Borgess basically admitted that is what they were doing at today's presser.

    "Denard was not going to run the ball 20 times in this game....Especially against a team like Alabama.....If he runs the ball 20 times every game there will be nothing left of him at the end of the season.:

    Coaching scared benefits no one, especially not his team. Shame on Michigan/Borges.

    They would have still lost because it wouldn't have been a Big 10 game and bo didn't care about non-conference games.

  • I also question whether you can rate this Bama team and the 2010 team the same.

    Yeah, right. Bo never would have allowed Michigan to schedule Alabama. scUM had never played Bama in a game besides when they were forced to in a bowl game.

    lol Number of times Bo opened the season with a nonconference road win......0

  • 2010, at this point has to be considered the better Bama team.

    Offensively they had Lacy, Ingram and Richardson in the backfield, McElroy at QB. Julio Jones at WR. Carpenter, and Mike Johnson on their OL, both were high draft picks.

    They had McLain, Jackson, Areanes, Cody, Dareus, Barron, Hightower, Kirkpatrick, and Upshaw go in the first 3 rounds in the NFL draft.

    Will we look back at the 2012 team and say they had as much or more pro-level talent, that remains to be seen. But we can say the 2010 team was stacked right now.
