Seems Michigan didn’t want a head coach or a quarterback to beat Penn State. In one of many extra embarrassing losses because the Nittany Lions’ loss to Ohio State a couple of weeks in the past, the Wolverines have been content material operating the ball proper at Penn State en path to a 24-15 win.
J.J. McCarthy threw eight passes whereas the Completely satisfied Valley crowd relentlessly booed its toothless offense, and any concern about Jim Harbaugh’s absence eased with each errant Drew Allar cross. If James Franklin nonetheless had supporters earlier than this recreation, the final of them gave up after the crew’s failed fourth and sixth name within the last interval that led to a Blake Corum game-sealing landing on the very subsequent play.
Even the two-point attempt — after Allar added a rubbish time TD that may’ve minimize the result in seven with sufficient time to make Michigan sweat — was moronic. Swinging gate? Oof.
Interim Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore sobbed, swore, and professed his love for coach Harbaugh through the postgame interview with Fox’s Jenny Taft. It might’ve been uncomfortable if not for the unintentional comedy.
Thanking god, after which Harbaugh felt redundant, however I digress.
Corum, who completed with 145 yards and two TDs on 26 carries, relieved Moore, after which gave one other passionate interview with blood pooling between his eyebrows from a minimize on his nostril. It was the form of gritty win you’d count on in a borderline unprecedented scenario.
But it surely’s not unprecedented as a result of U-M started the season with out its patron saint for 4 weeks. The NCAA and the Large Ten proceed to throw obstacles in entrance of Michigan, and so they preserve breaking by means of them prefer it was Penn State’s entrance seven.
Did it assist that Franklin coached whereas staring straight into the solar? Sure, however we’ve all agreed to miss how piss-poor the Large Ten is that this season. If Penn State is a top-10 crew, I’m Arnold Palmer.
Regardless, now Ann Arbor’s greatest and brightest authorized minds have a full week to attempt to overturn the outcomes of the B1G commissioner’s determination, and also you higher consider they’re going to storm one thing if Jim Harbaugh isn’t again on the sidelines by the Ohio State recreation.
