What did we learn? Maryland edition

Right. For example, Michigan didn't attempt a pass in the entire second half of their game against Penn State because their coaching staff isn't moronically inept. They just kept doing what allowed them to win. 

Satterfield is incapable of simply accepting the limitations of his team, of calling to the few strengths of his team, and calling plays that work even if it's multiple times in a row. He doesn't consider the state of the game, the game clock, the score, or who his QB is when making calls. It's a pathetic joke. Poor coaching is why Nebraska has been terrible for 20 years, and Satterfield is the latest iteration of painfully obvious evidence that the braintrust of this team just isn't there. 

He puts the ball in the hands of his QBs no matter the mound of evidence that exists that they cannot make plays, reads, or that they understand the defense in front of them. It's the the worst Quarterback play in P5 football and their coach leaves them out to dry because he's inept and doesn't belong at the D1 level of play calling, let alone at B1G level. The evidence of his ineptitude is large.

Can we pin this thread on the header of every page of the website?

There is actually quite a bit of good content on Peacock, if you can put up with 2-3 minutes of commercials before the show you want to watch. Also they seem to get a lot of new release movies before other streamers, Cocaine Bear and Knock at the Cabin being a couple I recall recently.

Luckily we get it for no additional charge with our cable package. I was going to say for free but the cable pkg is far from cheap or free. Anyway, might be worth a few bucks for a few months to check it out.

I did like the twisted metal series and the John Wick prequel type show about Winston though I can't remember the name.

 
This program really struggles to piece a complimentary roster together. Rhule is going to have to hitch his strategy to the portal just a little bit every year. They need a dynamic running back and good pass first QB. Then two lineman who can start. Anything beyond that will be gravy.

It is the most basic of basic game management. There is literally ONE THING that you cannot do under any circumstances in that situation. ONE.

If nobody is open in the end zone, the ball needs to be thrown into the 14th row. It should not be in the same area code as any opposing defensive back.

I agree that Satt should have just called a run play, took the 3 points and put our defense out to hold them 1 last time...  BUT...  the more I look at that play Coleman WAS open and appears to have just given up on the route...

Seems to me the short slant to the tall guy would be a much high percentage throw than the out to the pylon and the short guy. Teams run that slant on the goal line a lot to decent success.

 
Satt calls plays like he is playing Madden with the All Madden team. I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt but Rhule needs to make a change otherwise he is culpable as well. 

 
We had a 65% run/pass ratio against Maryland. That's about where we had been at. You probably can't just call 80% runs against a B1G defense.

We picked up 183 yards on the ground and averaged 4.6 yards per carry. There's really nothing wrong with that, those numbers are potentially just fine...but then we only had 86 yards passing, and of course threw 4 INT's.

Against Wisconsin we're going to have to probably rely on the ground game.

Do we even know who's going to start at QB? People have said that Sims doesn't want to play in a 5th game so he can count this season as a redshirt year but who knows if that's even true.
