Jack Allen was out for the Michigan game and I can't remember if it was Conklin's first game or if he was the one injured, Keiler was the other one.The last thing I will be doing is re-watching that game. Seeing it happen in real time was hard enough to watch.
With the players MSU had on the field, I did not think UM had a chance. The Allen brothers, Jack Conklin, Connor Cook, Aaron Burbridge, Price on offense. Calhoun, McDowell, Heath, Bullough, etc. on defense.
UM wants to run the ball -- I didn't see it happening again the strength of MSU's defense.
MSU like to run the ball -- I thought MSU would wear down a thin UM DL.
UM was better running the ball than I thought they'd be. MSU didn't wear down the DL. I thought UM would be able to connect downfield against MSU's secondary -- that didn't happen. I thought Cook would pick apart UM's secondary and that didn't happen.
So basically, everything I thought that would happen in the game, didn't.Guess that is why I'm not a CFB analyst for ESPN.
Yes but as a coach you have to put things in the best situation possible. Michigan State nearly blocked two punts earlier in the game, including the huge 80yard punt. Why have four guys rushing down field to tackle nobody? He needs to have the conversation with the kicker saying "if you can't get a clear kick, eat the ball." Same as if you are talking to a QB trying to come back "if you don't see anything, throw it away." He very obviously didn't do either of those things.
What part of two or three starting offensive lineman were missing aren't you understanding? Michigan was missing one defensive lineman for targeting in the first half and another one (for bullshit) in the second half. I know Michigan fans want to pretend all of the 4 and 5 star players completely forgot how to play football under Hoke but they were just poorly coached. They got better coaching and became better players. There was talent there and Michigan had much more depth.
Most normal people smile on a daily basis.
Smiling is for the weak.
Sorry, I'm all hopped up on caffeine. I thought you asked me to explain it. My bad.
I have no doubt UM had better recruiting classes, but if those recruits struggle to grasp the speed of the college game, they are injured or their coaches aren't developing the talent it means nothing. The only B1G team with more talent than MSU last year was OSU, IMO.
That mother fucker O'neill was killing us all day long and was the reason why you were winning that game. I would have loved to have O'neill on MSU last year considering all of our punting issues all year long. One play shouldn't define his career and would love to have him on the Lions.
Nothing weird about this picI guess that is another reason why Harbaugh is fucking weird then.
