4th Down
October 19th, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
On the bright side, DPJ is not going to go to the draft.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Literally LOL! Thank you for being a bright rainbow in this Cyclone of a Cluster fluck. Keep dropping them balls DPJ so we have you next year.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
nah he will go to the transfer portal and be a PSU or Florida weapon next year
October 19th, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
A punt is better than a 58 yard field goal attempt by a guy with a 48 yard leg.

Gotta be hard for him to walk.

I’m looking forward to the game theory portion of the podcast... I have a feeling this is getting some attention...
October 19th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Brian is going to go off on that decision.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Brian isn’t exactly an expert either
October 19th, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
Compared to most coaching staffs, no
October 19th, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
I fear that the failure to go for it on that first one early in the game is going to haunt Jim. There's no reason, between some crap calls and the refs, that we should not be completely in this game at the moment.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
You know if they go for it it will be wildcat or mason up the middle which Penn State will totally know is coming and will stuff in the backfield though...
October 19th, 2019 at 9:21 PM ^
Trying that field goal instead of going for it was terrible
October 19th, 2019 at 9:21 PM ^
Not going for it on 4th and 1. Then you attempt a 58 yarder on 4th and make-able, down 14 with less than a minute left when you don't get the ball first, and to make it even dumber you don't use Nordin.
I think Harbaugh is just legit dumb. I don't think there's any other explanation.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Yelling the same thing at my TV and wife tell me that I’m too negative...so relegated to watch the 2nd half in the garage.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
Being a Michigan fan has become utterly embarrassing
October 19th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Sometimes when I’m wearing my Michigan gear people give me the “bless your heart” treatment.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
Id rather punt it than kick a 58 yard field goal down 14 points. Your maximum upside is being down 21-10 at the break and it is the same risk as going for it. What the hell.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
I hated the 58 yard FG attempt but I liked it far better than lining Shea under the OG and direct snapping it to the RB. That was one of the dumbest plays all year and believe me, there's been plenty of those
October 19th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
IIRC that's not the first time they've tried that play on 4th down.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
Should have went for it on both.
Punt in the end zone... & no chance on FG.
Nordin isn't an option either. He would miss anyway.
Get some fucking balls Harbaugh.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
You could say it’s 4th down on Harbaugh tenure as Michigan coach. Maybe he’ll punt, kick an impossible field goal, or run Charbonett into slanting lines and crashing linebackers…
huh? Huh? Ok I can see myself out.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
That last minute was literally the two worst game situation coaches battling for the worst use of time and field position.
JH fucks up when out of four options:
1. Go for 4th down
2. Punt and with 3 time outs try to pin PSU and get the ball back around midfield
3. Attempt a FG with a guy that can at least get that distance
4. Attempt a FG with a guy with 48-50 yard range
JH selects #4
Then Frames comes in at the 40 and 3 time outs. They complete a pass short of the sticks and Frames lets nearly 30 seconds elapse before using a time out.
Then after an incompletion and a failed run, Frames could have let the clock run out, or let it run down to 5 seconds or so, call time out and try a Hail Mary.
Instead PSUs moron calls timeout with :21 left forcing himself to punt.
Frames and JH are literally the worst game situation coaches I have ever seen.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
This is so true. I literally was like how dumb are these 2? If PSU used TO to punt, might as well play it out. Should’ve used TO 2 and 3 and make UM keep hiking inside their 5.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
October 19th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
Are all fourth downs created equal?
October 19th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
4th down at that point should be a deep pass down the field if you are thinking of a long ass fg with your short range kicker. Worse case scenario is a deep int.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
No, an incompletion is way worse
October 19th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
And don’t forget that we then put DPJ back to field a punt at the 5 yards line for no reason. No upside, just fumble downside
October 19th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
Harbaugh has CTE. We have to get some high IQ coaches into the program. Enough with the meat and potatoes gus
October 19th, 2019 at 9:58 PM ^
You seen this offense?
