Impressions: BGSU

1. A win is a win, they all count one at the season’s end.
2. Remember, never got too excited about early season blow out, or too down about early season struggle.
3. There were plenty of positives.
4. Despite losing a NFL level punter UMs punt game is just as good, if not better, than last season.
5. UM also escaped without anything major in the injury department.
6. Corum is also starting to show his hold form.
7. Not up to 22 level performance. Definitely getting better.
8. We have talked about how one play can change an entire game in the past..
9. JJs 1st interception was one of those.
10. UM was clicking and getting ready to take control of the game.
11. They were not the same after that play.
12. My biggest concern, is how it affected JJ.
13. He needs to develop a delete button and not have 1 error, despite how huge, effect his play.

13a. I believe without the int he hits Morris on the long TD.

13b. He was trying to be too perfect instead of putting air under it and letting the WR adjust.

14. 1 thing that needs fixed is the turnover issue.
15. If UM is going to compete with the elite they cannot lose the turnover battle.
16. O Line play is getting better. Pass pro is very good and LOS was moving.
17. Once JJ started to struggle BGSU had their safeties at 6 yards.
18. The good news, with offense struggling, UM defense was very good.
19. I counted only 3 missed tackles.
20. Despite being good there were 2 things that need addressed.
21. 4 times BGSU WRs were behind UM secondary.
22. If that happens against say OSU, it more than likely at least 2 TDs or even more.
23. Another thing is D Line needs to stay in their lanes during pass rush.
24. BG QBs scrambled for yards and moved the chains a few times.
25. I know, I am being a bit tough on the D Line.
26. Except for the pass lanes, they were dominant. Coach Elston needs a raise.
27. They even showed the discipline and stayed home on screens.
28. One of the signs of good defense is offense going to the check down.
29. BG went to the check down right round 20 times.
30. When you are dictating what the offense does that is playing great defense.
31. That’s all for this week.
32. Time to get ready for Big Ten Opener, until then, GO BLUE!
