Dave Portnoy'S Fiery Rant Targets Michigan'S Sherrone Moore

Michigan's Tough Battle with Oklahoma

Saturday's clash between the Michigan Wolverines and the Oklahoma Sooners was anything but a walk in the park. The Wolverines knew they had their work cut out for them facing a high-ranking team now seated at No. 10 in the country. Despite Michigan's solid reputation, having freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood at the helm posed its own challenges in maintaining competitive momentum.

Fans and critics alike voiced concerns that Underwood wasn’t given ample opportunity to showcase his arm strength and talent as a passer. The sentiment that resonated with many could be summed up by one passionate fan's fiery critique.

Sherrone Moore in the Hot Seat

Michigan superfan Dave Portnoy didn't hold back, launching a heated and NSFW tirade against Sherrone Moore, the Wolverines' decision-maker. Portnoy was particularly upset about Moore restraining Underwood, preventing him from making the plays necessary to demonstrate his potential. "That was an infuriating half of football to watch," Portnoy vented. "I don’t care if we get our ass beat, but not even trying to score is unacceptable."

“Let the kid throw. Like, who cares if you lose by seven, 10, 14, or 400? Let the kid throw. Run, run, pass. Run, run, pass. Run, run, pass.”

Portnoy's vivid imagery of "32 guys in the box" underscored his frustration with the predictable play-calling that seemed to stifle Underwood’s opportunities on the field.

Second Half Struggles

As the second half rolled around, Underwood did get more chances to throw, yet he finished with only nine completions out of 24 attempts for 142 yards. While the offensive strategy placed him in challenging situations, critics argue that Underwood still has room for improvement.

Despite the struggles, Michigan’s offensive unit must adapt and find a rhythm that empowers their young quarterback. Looking forward, the spotlight is firmly on both Underwood's development and Moore's strategic decisions to propel the Wolverines to success.
