Do passes to running backs out of the backfield count towards the 400 yards?

 

[biggunsbob]

Northern Illinois can?t stop the run.

 

[biggunsbob]

Henning is pretty fast.

I should be happy...

But these first three games remind me of every other 3-0 start. Beating up on teams that can't stop the run, ignore the inept passing ability, have everyone talking about "Michigan run game is back finally," and give up a few big plays every game and write them off as fluke plays. If this team can't pass and plays D like this, we will lose more than half our B1G games.

That said, I do like the look of our running game.

Yes, but that last pitch on that last play of the quarter was absolutely a pitch forward.

That makes it a forward pass.

Those yards should count toward the 400 passing yards.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice balance !

 

[biggunsbob]

Kind of worried about the run defense.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on Cade.

 

[Monster]

Nice to see some downfield passes. They don't look bad but no separation

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey. Tight end sighting !
Nice seam play !

 

[biggunsbob]

Haskins !

 

[Michchamp]

only 296 more passing yards to go to force zyxt to find something else to complain about next week.

 

[biggunsbob]

Freaking flags.

 

[biggunsbob]

87 yard TD pass !

 

[Monster]

Okay. Mac can throw the ball. I dont want to keep seeing these 2 yard passes over and over again now

 

[Monster]

How did this team beat georgia tech?

 

[thewolverines24]

It's a thriller!

How did this team beat georgia tech?

GT is really terrible

 

[biggunsbob]

Why do we have dumb players..

Make number 5 run extra in practice.

 

[tinselwolverine]

191 first half yards passing.

A little under the target pace, but still not too bad.
