Love the play calling so far

Yes, it's only Minnesota, but we are giving Dantonio a LOT to plan for. Two QBs on the field together, misdirections, HB passes... My head might asplode

Best o all, they are making the passes easy for Denard and everyone is touching the ball

I love what Borges is doing today. On a side note, I also like seeing Countess making a big play as well as Campbell CRUSHING Minessota's QB. That was a nice play for him.

...my second favorit play. Sitting here wishing to see the te seame play,when Koger had the play called. Like for it to be used moreso with divison play coming up.

2 things I am loving from the playcalling so far:

Short - Intermediate passes being called to get Denard comfortable

Lots more running with the running backs.

 

Granted it is Minnesota, but any time we can lessen the hits Denard takes and still move the ball I am happy.

Borges definitely has me hard today.  I love how he is calling high percentage passes for Denard.  I hope we see Devon throw in the second half.

impressed is the only logical word I can use here. He's allowing Denard to get comfortable passing and the new wrinkles he is adding has been fantastic. I am glad to have him and Mattison as our coordinators.

I went on record after the opener saying it was just cliche when people say coaches kept it vanilla. I apologize to this coaching staff for being utterly wrong. They did in fact have MUCH more up their sleeves than I thought.

<br>I will not doubt them again.

Is it outstanding play calling or that most
<br>plays appear to be good calls when they're run against a garbage Gopher team?
<br>
<br>Everybody here needs to hold off on the circle jerk until this team shows something against MSU, Neb & OSU.

Agreed loved the play calling as well.....the only question I have is in the 4th why not give the mop up carries to Cox and Shaw....especially with Shaw being a SR. and just curious on using Rawls and possibly burning his redshirt I know he was used against EMU but in Hokes press conference after he said that the didn't necessarily blow his redshirt where I'd say he safely used his redshirt up today....on a bright note of that though Rawls looked great running the ball

I absolutely love the sprint draw. MSU gashed us with it over and over in the Braylonfest game and I've wanted to see us run it ever since. It's such a simple concept but super effective when you have a QB who's such a running threat.
