Michigan football breakdown with Borges & English - Where does UM go after misery in Minnesota7. Okt.1 Std. 50 Min.

Michigan's offense is in crisis — and the clock is ticking on Bryce Underwood and the coaches to find answers. In this week's Michigan Football Breakdown, The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb joins former Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges and former defensive coordinator Ron English to dissect the Wolverines' disappointing 20-14 loss at Minnesota and the issues behind another second-half collapse. The scrutiny starts with Underwood's troubling response to pressure: deteriorating footwork, dropping his eyes toward the rush, moving into pressure, missing opportunities and losing his composure when defenses turn up the heat. But the problems extend well beyond the quarterback. The trio examines an ineffective running game, Michigan's heavy reliance on Rhino personnel, predictable tendencies and the failure to punish aggressive defenses with downfield shots. Most importantly, they lay out what must change during the bye — from rebuilding Underwood's fundamentals and moving the pocket to adjusting personnel and scheme — and why, if Underwood can't respond, Michigan may soon have no choice but to make a change at quarterback.(00:00) Michigan's Second Straight Collapse Raises Bigger Questions(02:12) Ron Says Michigan's Defense Played Well but Still Has Another Level(06:33) Borges Gives His Broad Diagnosis of Michigan's Offensive Failure(12:58) Borges Corrects the Narrative About Michigan's Downhill Running(16:21) Borges and English Explain the Problem With Michigan's Rhino Package(24:38) Borges Says Michigan Must Punish Safeties With Shot Plays(28:44) Bryce's Composure Is a Major Problem, but Not Michigan's Only One(33:29) Borges Says Michigan Needs More Pocket Movement and Better Footwork(38:27) Borges Says Bryce's First Interception Was Primarily a Footwork Mistake(45:04) Borges Says Bryce Was Not Responsible for the Second Interception(49:35) Bryce's Mistakes Are Real — and His Job Is Not Guaranteed(53:04) English and Borges Lay Out Their Bye-Week Priorities(58:09) Borges Gives His Tactical Prescription for Michigan's Offense(1:02:58) The Coaches Say Michigan's Problems Go Far Beyond One Player(1:10:15) Borges Gives Michigan's Entire Offense a Failing Grade(1:15:29) Borges Is Open to Giving Tommy Carr a Series but Not Alternating Quarterbacks(1:31:23) Borges and English Want Michigan to Attack the Middle of the Field(1:34:50) Borges and English: Performance Must Ultimately Decide Bryce's Job(1:40:55) Borges Explains How Coaches Decide When to Change Quarterb
