Homecoming

Michigan beat Indiana. That used to be a given. Anyway, it was quite a game. A lot of big plays and a back and forth lead. When the dust cleared, Michigan won 36-33.

1) Michigan already has a guaranteed better record this season than last season.

2) It was another close game against a so-so team.

3) It's no fun to watch Michigan without a defense. The offense can't be counted on to score 50+ every game. What'll happen when Michigan faces a great offense? They'll score 70 points.

4) There was a silver lining in the defense. Indiana got in the red zone 5 times and ended up with 4 field goals and one touchdown. One more touchdown and they win.

5) The game was handed to Michigan by a questionable turnover late in the game. I'd rather have it been called Indiana's way just so there's no cloud, but Michigan did come back twice and Indiana had plenty of chances, so it's still their fault.

6) It's fun to have quarterbacks who can scramble. Until they're hurt.

7) Michigan may have scored a lot of points, but they were incredibly sloppy and uneven. Bad snaps, dropped balls, stupid penalties. And the offense simply stopped in the third quarter. They needed a great fourth quarter to win. A position you don't want to be in against any team.
