Game Thread: Michigan week/game thread

[Retroram52]

Three TDs unanswered is just about the ballgame as it appears this team has already left for home.

 

[Retroram52]

A perfectly thrown pass to a Michigan defensive player for a pick-six. And the fat lady is singing!!

 

[TheSnowdog]

The interception was bad enough - looked like there was time to pull up some to control the throw

But on the int return why did #52 pull up and basically allowed the Michigan player waltz right into the endzone?

 

[Retroram52]

Tommy threw that ball so badly that he totally missed the wide-open Penn State WR 10-yards further downfield. Ya can't get any better than that. LOL!

 

[Retroram52]

Well, I guess I am going to say good-night and return another day...

 

[TheSnowdog]

Well it's embarrasing territory now

 

[AlistairChiss]

Yup this is officially bad, hoping we can score ANYTHING to avoid an upset at this point.

Paybacks are hell.

Don Brown has to be loving this, he coached with Franklin at MD. Pretty freaking embarrassing.

 

[AlistairChiss]

Well.... at least we didn't get shutout...

 

[Retroram52]

Yea AlistairChiss, but we received a bona fide ass-whoopin'!!

 

[AlistairChiss]

Yup that was the embarrassment I was hoping to avoid.

In hindsight, I wonder if starting Tommy would have made sense. Trace couldn't be Trace with the sore knee. Don't think it would have changed the outcome but it might have kept us in the game a little longer.

It was a block below the waist. I noticed on the replay before the refs made their call.

McSorely screws up handoff for the 2nd game in a row.

We look how I thought we would, not nearly as good as Michigan.

He never even touched him on that play, was a terrible call

 

[linebackeru]

Feel bad for the defense, they played much better than the score indicates. Trace should've been on bench after a series or 2 when it was clear he was not healthy. Worst case, he should've been pulled at half after missing that wide open TD pass. That and the horrific call on the INT return kept it from being a tie game at half. Once they got up multiple TD and we became 1 dimensional, it was been more painfully obvious Trace wasn't healthy. His numbers since his injury are just flat out bad. I love the kid, but hope he takes a seat this week if he's not able to perform to his normal standards.

Things that still bother me, Koa has absolutely no business being on field over Parsons and Polk should be on pine for Dotson, so question about it. Move on, get the last 3 and still have chance to get 10 wins in citrus or outback.

I think we lose a much, much closer game with Tommy at QB. Trace has been bad since his injury, clearly something wrong with his back plant foot throwing the ball and he would never have slid on that run in early first half where he still had another 3-4 yards on table and slid a foot shy of first down mark

Great game guys.
