  "account": "In a dismal 13-6 defeat to the Indiana Hoosiers, the Michigan Wolverines stumbled on both sides of the ball, with their offense and coordinator drawing the brunt of the criticism. Defending their No. 6 ranking proved to be a futile task as they failed to convert on numerous offensive opportunities in the overtime loss. Fans and observers are left severely dismayed by the \"disgusting\" performance displayed by the Wolverines lately.

While individual mistakes were made, the offensive play calling from Beck leading up to these moments is something fans like Portnoy cannot overlook.\n\nDuring the postgame press conference, head coach Kyle Whittingham shielded Beck from media scrutiny while taking responsibility for the poor play calling, stating, \"Everything falls on my shoulders, so whatever happens in the course of a game is on me.\" He acknowledged that the call in question was a poor one, and that he would have gladly taken it back. Michigan will face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights the following weekend in hopes of salvaging their season.",
