Central Michigan Game Thread

Well, I might as well start one, the board has been fairly quiet overall.

It’s a home game. I DO hope we rest Fletcher, Toney, Moten and anyone else who can use the break. Hopefully, we are up enough by half to give Mensah a break as well.

I want to see better pass protection from our OLine, more of a push in the run game.

On a side not, I HATE this ROP crap, just turn around and hand the ball off like the old days.

I want to see more pressure for our DE’s, better awareness from our LB’s and for the love of all that is the U a secondary that shows up!

Miami: 55
CM: 21

I don’t know if we hit 55 but I’d be disappointed if Miami gives up 21.

They only have 138 passing yards TOTAL over three games but I bet they get that against us today!

I do not know anything about Central Michigan. If Mensah is rested perhaps Nickel will be able to show what kind of set he can run and/or be most comfortable in, pro, RPO, whatever. I do agree that a straight handoff and then isn’t a crime against nature.

Going to tape the game and watch when able to fast forward through commercials, interminable timeouts, halftime, etc. Life is too short.

Well Wake won at Louisville so maybe they’re not too bad after all. They won 9 last year but I wasn’t sure how that translated to 2026. Then they struggled at Purdue a couple weeks ago. Good for them and maybe good for us….maybe.

I’ll be here for it

2 false starts in the first 5 plays of the game is a HUGE warning sign. That is not a good sign of preparation.

Offense came out apprehensive, and we’re not confident in the run game either.

Mallory gave us breathing room on the 2nd drive. Nice catch and move by Upshaw. Better, more steady offensive performance. (Still another false start though.)

The fwiggin focus penalties are some bullshit that needs to STOP.

Pringle and Mallory running hard. No complaints there

Really, after ths beginning of the game, there’s not much to complain about. Good to see the ball being spread around.

Solid performance today. Penalties obviously need to be cleaned up. A couple of the really bad roughing penalties called against us today were BS. The false starts are just plain bad.

I was impressed with that Wheatley Humphrey kid. Hope we can keep him. I think he may become something good.

With TWO quality OL coaches you would think the false starts would be cleaned up by now. Geez.

Another cupcake game and good to see some young guys get some action.

Now, on to the REAL games…
