Still wondering how Feagin gets 0 carries there at the goaline.

Nothing like seeing us put Maryland right back into this game here. Kick the field goal Bret. What drives me nuts- is I feel like the games where he should go for it, he doesn't and the times he does go for it, he shouldn't.

Mario Sanders might not get another call this year freshman mistake on that run

Fortunately, Maryland is so limited this game doesn’t feel threatened. Hope that feeling is justified

What’s especially frustrating is the time/score. Less than 2 minutes to go in the third, the way we are running the ball, Maryland very well may not even get 3 more possessions, period.

And for the love of god figure out a defense for check downs. Free 10 yards for them every time.

It seems you should be able to throw the challenge flag when you see an obvious missed facemask.

We have been amazing in the red zone this year so I get the confidence. But time/score. Didn’t like the call.

We have them on the one yard line. Our defense should be like rabid dogs trying to get to a freshman QB, but what do we do? Lay back in a zone and let them pick their way up to the 50 in a minute and a half. Boy oh boy. When will this frustration end?

How about facemask be reviewable. It’s not a subjective call

Based on how rules have gone with replay, they'll find a way to make it subjective like whether a fingertip by the earhole that grazes the facemask is a facemask. And it'll probably get called against us in Michigan's favor.

Sanders = Ken Dilger against Purdue in the 90's. Same play. Stopped before the goal line and got tackled. Only Dilger did it on the last play of the game.

man, we're terrible on 3rd down (ok, stand corrected. weve done a good job today, but that was frustrating)

Once again we give up a massive third down play.

Our DB's are always a day late and a dollar short in coverage

Maybe I hate these announcers more than the refs if that’s possible

Still another 3rd and long against a bad team with their back against the wall, and we misplace our killer instinct again and let them continue the drive.
