WTKA Roundtable 11/30/2023: It Brings Out All of It

MGoBlog: The MGoPodcast

Things Discussed:

• The Game post-op: OSU was closer because they didn't play insane. Were conservative and that worked for them.
• Payoff for the light boxes all year.
• Seth's monologue: Ohio State has plenty of hate, Michigan swerved to love, and I'm so happy that they won so we can talk about how the players love each other and love Harbaugh, and how the fans uplifted them.
• Ari Wasserman comes clean: Signsgate was always just about hurting Michigan by changing the narrative.
• McCarthy runs: obviously injured, OSU had some ideas to stop QB run, but M didn't plan the counters for that because they weren't going to run with him.
• Michigan didn't learn the lesson of JTT: If you leave him unblocked for a second he will kill you.
• Play-action is still missing. They are using it wrong.
• Orjicat: OSU doesn't have numbers with a safety high.
• McCarthy's read: He studied film on the robber, knew that guy was turning.
• Last TD: Wasn't a bust, was Ryan Day adjusting to Michigan's Palms coverage.
• Michael Barrett: shoulda been 1st team All-B10. Tommy Eichenberg was the soft spot Michigan attacked to win this game, and all the other coaches picked on him too.
• Next year? Let's see what the portal brings, what the NFL takes. Michigan's D will be very good. Will JJ return? (25%?)
• Sam: Michigan will only be going after guys who are proven commodities (not Tobias Merriweather).
• Iowa: Atrocious offense, respect their defense minus their best player.
• CFP: We want to face FSU not Oregon.
