No problem, mate. Your question is valid. It could be a matter of poor recruiting, poor system selection, poor coaching by his QB Coach/OC or even Harbaugh himself. I will say that Michigan and the Big Ten are not the desirable situation that they once were. Prospects often prefer going to the SEC, ACC, and Big 12. I think the weather there is an issue as well in limiting an offense.
I must admit that if was a top recruit from High School and I had offers from around the country, if you excluded the actual coaching differences, I would probably favour a milder climate in the South to train and play in. Michigan is so far North that the worse weather conditions has to have some effect on recruiting
Conference championship saturday.. Anyone watching? Fukin Bama pulls out the comeback Half heartedly Watched it streaming at "work".... Did see the end. Those phuckers. As much as i despise them , kinda cool to see jalen hurts come in off the bench for the win Currently watching clemson-pitt.... Going as expected. :-/
I can't think of any other team but Bama that would have their starting Q/B go off injured and bring on someone else with the quality of Hurts. He could have transferred but he decided to tough it out and learn more of his trade with Dan Enos. You have to repect both Tua and Jalen and they certainly respect each other. With 4 weeks off until the play-offs now, I can't see anyone but Bama winning it.
UCF screwed again, back to back undefeated seasons and can't get into the playoff. Guess 25 wins in a row isn't enough, maybe next year after they are up to 38 wins in a row they can get a shot? Probably not.
The CFP is the least interesting solution to the college championship issue. The lack of a clear objective criteria makes the selection as subjective and arbitrary as the two poll system from 20 years ago. They’ve resolved nothing and people have bought it hook, line and sinker.
Interesting QB prospect on display today. Mason Fine, North Texas State, is only 5'10" but threw for over 9,000 yards in 2 seasons. Will be playing Utah State in New Mexico Bowl today. NTS was the only school to offer him a scholarship. His coach, who coached Foles at Ariz. and Trubisky at NC, said Fine is better than both at this stage.
