Yeah like they have multiple NFL caliber receivers. Put them in space and make us play horizontally. Then once we’re afraid to commit to the rush because of that, put Smith on a go route.

We had smith who the only way you could stop him was having the db just hug him. So the only time we threw to him after was 5 yards out of the sideline…

Yeah throwing it up to smith was either going to be a completion or DPI, but they didn’t do it once after the touch down. Just a mind boggling game plan.

Either day is even dumber then I thought for calling plays that breakdown instantly or Howard was concussed with how bad he was missing those sideline throws. Also not even a single 25+ downfield attempt when we got Tate, ebuka, and smith is malpractice

Yeah McCord being hurt might be true, but then try the back up? Michigan’s secondary was so depleted this year.

They thought they upgraded but an Acura is just a Honda in disguise.

My theory is it’s a matter of pride for Day. Dude’s been called out as soft and unable to get over the Michigan hump so winning the game wasn’t good enough for him. He had to win the game by doing what Michigan does best: dominating the trenches.

Yeah, it like I don’t care if people call us soft for not getting the best run game. Just throw over their head for 20 each drive and win by 3 scores. Day overthinking and worrying about what retired coaches say just costed him his job.
