Ahh yeah because Juice Williams is SO good. And Chris Leak is a PERFECT fit for the spread too. Too bad you can't handle criticism and you ban anyone that says anything mean to you. Otherwise people might even speak their minds. The horrors, I know. |

That had nothing to do with grasping at straws, you [censored]ing imbecile. All I said was that you struggle with competent spread offenses. |

There's a difference between "speaking your mind" and "talking [censored]". You call out our defense for having problems with the spread, but in retort I have just three words for Michigan's ability to contain the spread: Appalachian [censored]ing State.

My, you're creative. Please go back through any post I've ever made that defended Michigan's ability to defend the spread. I'll be waiting for something good. Is it so sacrilegious to say OSU isn't the greatest at everything? Yeah, Michigan sucks at defending spread offenses. Armanti Edwards, Vince Young, Troy Smith, Donovan McNabb etc.. have all torched Michigan in recent years and they're all mobile QBs. Yet, I'm not debating that, am I?
Are you really going to try to convince me that you DIDN'T have trouble with the spread offenses of Illinois and Florida? Because the scoreboard disagrees with you. |

Doesn't change that Illinois beat the Buckeyes that day)
In any case, the point is somewhat valid in that the Buckeyes have blemishes against "spread teams" (real or perceived) and now that public enemy #1 runs the spread - you can damn well bet Ohio State will get good at stopping it cold. It's what Tressel does. Much like Woody thought - if Ohio State can beat Michigan, then Ohio State sure as [censored] can beat anyone else (Mindset, at least).

A) I said competent spread teams. Sorry, let me re-word it so I can blow the Buckeyes in every post to fit in. ZOMGZ WE SHUT DOWN PURDUE, NORTHWESTERN ETC... WE ARE THA GREATESSSSSSSSSSSST EVARRRRRRRRRRR! Congrats. Michigan can beat those teams too.
B) I didn't say Tressel wouldn't learn to stop it, did I? All I said was you should be concerned about Rodriguez's offense because dammit, if he can make it work with a bunch of 2 and 3* recruits, he should do very well with the type of athletes Michigan recruits.

Didn't say you did. But when you list another team's problems, you had better make sure your team doesn't also have them, lest you get pounded for it...

I know damn well how my team has struggled against the spread with a mobile QB. But the article spoke about Tressel, coach of Ohio State, working with the USF coaches on defending the spread. Michigan or its struggles were not really addressed in the article. |
