Utah : Why Was Sheridan in the game?

I don't understand why Sheridan was in the game at all. He may be quicker with his feet, and grasp the offense better, but neither of the qb's are threats with their feet to keep the defenses offense. He also threw several balls up in the air for grabs, which would have been unacceptable under Carr and should be under coach Rod. He may grasp the offense better but still made horrible decisions with the ball and under pressure.

Not that Threet was the best thing in the world, he held the ball too long, stared down receivers, and overthrew receivers, hey John Navarre reincarnated!! but he made the defense honest down the field, which might open up some running game, I say might because the offensive line was pretty horrid.

The defense was Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekll. Hyde in the first as in cover your eyes bad and Jekll in the secpnd as a dominant performance. The new defensive coordinator did a poor job of preparation but made the adjustments at half, which was a nice change, so looking up there.

Their kicker was phenomenal on punts and the 53 yarder fg even though KC Lopata countered with his own 50 yarder ( where did that come from? ) . But they won the field position battle and with our offense being so poor in made a difference. This may be me being optimistic but we blocked two kicks today, so hopefully, Umich is putting more emphasis on special teams.

I can't help but think that Utah committed 3 turnovers had a punt and xp blocked and committed 150+ of penalties and we still lost. However, I also can't help but think what would have happened with Threet in the game the whole time, I think Utah doesnt get their last td of the first half and its a whole different ballgame, with us winning.

Lots of disappointment today, but something to look forward next week. PLease Coach Rod , Sheridan may be a great practice player, buts he's not much in the game
