So close to being able to pull out my "12-O" shirt

Display it as an affirmation

Damn one of the ugliest game in a long time
Reminds me of that CAL game that we survived back in the game to make to the natty

Nailed it. They were off timing all game but found a way. Definitely need a week off to heal because they look a step off.

Literally was thinking that 2010 CAL game!

Has it been that long

Takeaways- 1) red zone offense is just isn't good. Gabriel likes to throw into coverage inside the 20. He's been lucky that he had receivers that can make plays.
2) Gabriel looked scared out there, and has struggled all season when pocket the collapses. If he can't see over it then he either just needs to tuck the ball and run, or find a way to get outside of it.
3) The play calling in general this season has been stale and predictable. I wonder how much of it has to do with Gabriel's limitations.
4) i had a 4th but forgot. Probably had something to do with offensive adjustments need to be made going into the 3rd quarter.

The games our red zone offense is bad, it’s really bad.

There was a stretch though of 5 drives where we didn’t even get close to the red zone. I think just moving the ball in general was ugly today. OL wasn’t terrible but they weren’t great. Gabriel missed a few open guys that I noticed, including a touchdown to James. We clearly miss Tez too. Kind of a perfect storm of things to go wrong for us.

Sappington played perfectly. Thumbs up!

The OL was definitely a contributor. There were multiple occasions where the guy on the edge wasn't blocked for some reason.

It's mind boggling that we have supposedly 1 of the best QB's in NCAA history and a bunch of 5 star receivers (Stewart, Dickey, McMillan) and this is what we come up with.

And this shouldn't be a shocker to anyone. The offense hasn't looked good ever since Tez went down. 3 straight games of anemic performance now.

Thanks Beavis

3rd straight game of ref help too. Now that's not bad.

Michigan (Stewart TD)
Maryland (Ferg TD)
Wisconsin (mystery chop block)

[ducks5ever]

But in hindsight, that UW team last year didn't look like they deserved any of their wins other than the 2 times they played us. Still went to the natty though.

I guess there's still hope.

Yup, blocking is so crucial.

Just rest, destroy Huskies and hopefully we have Tez back!

Oregon had 470 yards of offense and 38 points against Michigan when Tez was in for 2 plays. It’s been two lackluster performances seemingly when Gabriel is forcing passes to Ferguson when things break down. Lowe, who has been playing in Tez’s place, also left the game early.

yeah you're right. they just didn't put UM away in the 2nd half.

Yeah, but that’s been every week whether Tez was in or not.

That's what the 4th thing was. Gabriel missed A LOT of open receivers this game. Part of that can be attributed to poor blocking and not having time to see them, but it seems like it's been an issue in several games. Missing James in the end zone by himself just can't happen.
