MnB staff roundtable: what a win at Penn State can do for UM’s morale

The rest of the season starts in front of a white-out crowd Saturday night.

Eep.

Michigan couldn’t score the entire third quarter against Illinois, and things were going to fall apart had the defense not gotten a critical turnover. A familiar script. This isn’t sustainable, limping through a game, trusting the defense to save it down the stretch. The inability of Michigan ball carriers to hang onto the dang ball has turned into a chronic problem, not an anomaly, and that is easily traceable to coaching. A team serious about competing for a championship doesn’t commit moronic personal fouls either, which is also easily traceable to coaching.
