Those numbers haven't been seen since David CarrDeputy Travis Junior said:
I went to a restaurant last night that had Michigan-Purdue on. Early in the 4th quarter they showed the pressure stats for the Michigan qb: 3 sacks, 1 pressure, 1 qb hit. At that pace it would take him all season to get to the stats that max faces every game (on ~35 dropbacks, he had 3 sacks, 15+ pressures, and 12 hits in the Tennessee game alone).
Obvious to anybody with a brain that he wouldn't last; the opposing defenses have been getting 6-10 crushing hits on him every game (the kind where the hitter makes impact at full speed and then pile drives him into the turf). The stupidest part is people criticizing him for throwing off his back foot. Yea man, that's what happens when the OL turnstiles and lets a rusher through unimpeded. The qb has to back pedal to buy an extra half second so that he can get a throw off, and said throw is gonna be crappy and rushed and off his back foot.
Miss St sucks, but without Max our offense deteriorates from pretty bad to clown show. I'd say we have a slight chance at 6-6 now.
