Thomas Gordon played well tonight

He made a couple of big tackles, too.

I would have to watch again to see if he was supposed to provide support for Eifert's catch, but I don't want to watch again so I'll just wait for Brian's UFR.

Looked like single safety.

It's funny, last year I thought ND was the better team and Michigan just got really lucky, and this year I think we were the better team and played like ass, mainly due to Denard's turnovers. Of all the years to lose to ND I wouldn't have thought it would be this year and in that fashion. That said, ND is very good, although I still don't think they'll be able to contend well with top 10 teams because of their meh offense, but we'll see.

It sucks because this year I was hoping this shitty passing from Denard would be less of an issue and was hoping to feel confident with beating State/OSU. I remember last year I thought we had a decent shot against State but Denard couldn't throw for shit during that game either (although it wasn't just Denard who lost it). Obviously This team has the potential to be great but if it continues this dumbfuckery they'll have to settle for mediocrity.

It was the turnovers. Our D stopped their offense even more than what their D did to the Michigan O. If it wasn't for the turnovers Michigan wins this game easily. I think Michigan is the better team.

There were two really good drives Michigan had which could have resulted in a touchdown and almost certainly field goals that got shut down because of turnovers. But yeah, you have a good point, we definitely lack offensive depth and when Denard is stopped we're pretty much screwed.

He has to feel this one is on him.

We still had 161 yards rushing. Denard just has to protect the ball better. He has done it in other games(OSU and Nebraska last year). He is capable.

We obviously feel different about how Denard performs against a good defense....Hope you are having a good night, sir.

It's a very disappointing game. It's hard to believe when you see a 3 year starter senior QB play like a true freshman. These types of mistakes should not have been displayed by a player with such experience.

3 years have passed, and Denard still plays like when he first played the game.

For this, I'm very disappointed.

Michigan lost this game....it wasnt Notre Dames defense, it was the decision making of one individual. Poor decisions time after time allow someone to be responsible for 5-6 turnovers. I'm sick of hearing about ND's front 7. They played good, but its a giant leap to say THEY were responsible for 6 turnovers. This is when experience comes in by throwing balls away, throwing balls accurate, audible to higher probability passing routes to negate the pressure, roll out of the pocket more for run and pass options, and only throw it if its 100% it wont get intercepted, or pull the ball down and scramble for 5 yards every time....not that complicated. And Al Borges keeps trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. You have to give Denard more west coast passing options, crossing routes and outs within 10 yards to mitigate interceptions
