00:00 to continue the trend because we're gonna complain about what we saw on Saturday and Michigan just well with a whole lot
00:05 When you know what I don't know that we're both gonna complain. I know I know that you were pretty unsatisfied with what you saw
00:13 On Saturday and I can see some people are talking about, you know, very vanilla game plan once I had 24 hours to digest everything and take another look
00:21 I'm not all that upset with what I saw. So maybe we should just get into it. Well, I don't
00:28 Unsatisfied is probably not the way to word. I was I was bored out of my mind another dude
00:33 I had three of my buddies text me after the game and be like dude
00:36 I love watching every other college game besides Michigan
00:39 I'm like, well
00:40 I mean they do win and they're gonna continue to win and they're gonna win and they're gonna win but like I don't entirely
00:45 Disagree with that, but you're right
00:47 Let's jump right into the predictions and the scores and the stuff we talked about
00:50 That'll lead us into all the stuff that we need to talk about that took place during the game
00:53 We'll go with Trent's first because he's obviously not here, but he thought 48 to 13
00:58 I thought 48 to 10 you thought 52 to 7 and instead
01:04 It's 30 to 3 the three-point
01:07 The timeout on third down to kick a field goal, by the way is just we'll be addressing that later in the show
01:14 All right, so there's that I
01:16 Would have been really pissed if my other legs had hit on my parlay because I had Michigan by 28 and a half
01:21 So that field goal would have would have blown that didn't matter because I missed some other parts
01:26 Anyway get into that more on Thursday, but look
01:29 Michigan didn't score as much as I thought they would but they actually were better on defense than I thought they kept ECU
01:37 I mean, that's that's as close to a shutout as you're ever gonna get obviously
01:40 But none of us were all that close when it comes to what Michigan was gonna do on offense and I just wonder if you
01:48 know, is that the vanilla game plan is that the
01:51 Running game wasn't quite clicking like they thought it would or ECU was selling out to take it away
01:57 And then once you get up a little bit
01:59 You don't need to throw the ball all over the field because that's not how you do things in a sportsman like manner
02:04 I don't know man. I just felt like you know the game, you know, the game's over
02:08 They kick a field goal time expires 30 to 3. I said it in the postgame talk
02:12 I don't even know if Michigan's jerseys need to be washed. I don't think anybody even broke a sweat
02:16 it just I
02:18 Don't know that that's right. That's what I felt right immediately after the game
02:22 Obviously there were some really good things to look back at but there's gonna be plenty to fix and do better moving forward
02:29 You know, the coaches are saying that so I don't know Chris you were down on the field first game back
02:33 Yes scoreboards, by the way, which were incredible. I know we talked about what that was gonna look like from the field level
02:39 I'm sure it was amazing. But just what were your takeaways since we didn't you know, we didn't get to hear from you on Saturday
02:45 yeah, I mean I think initially I had the
02:48 I had the same type of feeling like again when you're down there and you're taking shots
02:52 Everything's coming at you fast and it's really hard to step back and sort of get get a sense of like the game flow in
02:57 General, but you know, I I was I was you know, it hit me hard the first drive
03:03 I expected that Michigan offensive line to come out and pretty much do what they wanted to do
03:07 I expected a lot out of Donovan Edwards and Blake Coram. I thought
03:11 You know, I think I said it in the show going into it actually in the write-up
03:15 I I said, you know Michigan's gonna run the ball until somebody proves they could stop them and ECU is not the team to do
03:21 It well, it turns out ECU
03:23 It was pretty effective at stopping the run and the coaches talked about that a little bit today
03:27 During the press conference ECU was doing everything they could do
03:30 They sold out to stop the run and that's why JJ McCarthy was able to be as effective as he was through the air
03:35 But even so even with that being the case, you know, we're talking about an offensive line now granted
03:43 They've got some transfers in and they've got to try to mesh and kind of find their rhythm and I'm confident that they will
03:48 But that's an NFL caliber offensive line that should have had their way against ECU
03:53 regardless of what those guys are trying to do now no knock against ECU, but
03:57 That is a stout Michigan offensive line. And then when you factor in Blake Coram and Donovan Edwards in the backfield
04:04 I just thought there was gonna be more out of the rushing attack
04:06 And so yeah, I was a little bit puzzled about that
04:09 But on the flip side, you know the biggest, you know
04:11 The bright spot and the benefit was JJ McCarthy and Roman Wilson and seeing that connection and how good it was
04:16 And you know, they talked about it a little bit today. You know, we are not a running team. We are not a passing team
04:22 We're a team that's gonna do whatever we need to do to win the football game
04:25 And thankfully the passing game was working. Well Jay Harbaugh said it today
04:29 He said I you know
04:30 We could have passed for 600 yards on Saturday if we wanted to that's how confident they felt and what they were doing through the air
04:35 So initially a little bit thrown off a little bit
04:38 Maybe disappointed a little bit strong, but just surprised by the lack of a rushing attack on Saturday, but pleasantly pleasantly
04:45 Surprised and happy to see how efficient Michigan was through the air JJ McCarthy
04:52 Obviously a historic afternoon to Michigan Stadium the highest completion percentage of any quarterback to throw 25 or more passes
04:59 Jim Harbaugh pointed that out today and
05:01 He looked sharp man. He looked real real sharp
