Michigan State Snowflakes: The Coaching
October 29th, 2022 at 11:06 PM ^
Man. Brian's prediction for this one was spot on! Especially the 'too many field goals' part. Tuck Bummin'! GO BLUE!
October 29th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
It turns out the thing he was most over-optimistic about was the idea that MSU would attempt a field goal.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:14 PM ^
Pull Corum sooner than 1:00 to go in an ass kicking blow out. Same with Edwards for that matter.
other than that. Throw the ball downfield more? If not spectacular very solid and dominate tonight.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:42 PM ^
Yeah Corum coming off the field GASSED in a 22 point win...not great.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:55 PM ^
He didn't look gassed. He was smiling and laughing.
October 30th, 2022 at 12:24 AM ^
Corum coming off the field GASSED
That's going to be a problem for the second game of the doubleheader.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:55 PM ^
The word is “dominant”. Did you graduate from the university with that lack of command of the language?
October 30th, 2022 at 1:47 PM ^
Judging by his avatar, it’s more likely he graduated from MSU.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
I was thinking the same thing. Thankfully Moody was on.
October 30th, 2022 at 12:09 AM ^
Sorta. He predicted over 300 yards passing…
October 29th, 2022 at 11:06 PM ^
Harbaugh— pretty good
Tuck— horseshit football coach
October 30th, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
LITTLE BROTHER Size Costume as someone previously noted.
October 30th, 2022 at 3:45 AM ^
Probably going to prove an even more horseshit person when he winds up not suspending any of his goons over the tunnel assault
October 30th, 2022 at 5:15 AM ^
Eh. They suck so much they probably will just to save face.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:07 PM ^
I wasn't worried about red zone field goals versus Penn State, but now I am. We have to clean this up a bit with better play calling before OSU.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:11 PM ^
Probably not necessary before OSU, but definitely for OSU.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:13 PM ^
Uhh Illinois looks pretty good.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:45 PM ^
Sure but scoring a FG on every drive is probably good enough to best their offense.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:15 PM ^
In the second half, they played not to turn the ball over. Harbaugh knows it's a big rivalry game and his only objective was to win the game. In the second half, the goal was to not beat yourself, and force Michigan State to beat you, which they couldn't do.
They weren't playing Ohio State today. No need to worry now.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:20 PM ^
This guy gets it. All bets are off against OSU. We will be fine.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:39 PM ^
Sorry that is a play not to lose mentality particularly against a secondary no one should fear. A win is a win but the playcalling tonight was very bad inside the red zone in particular. It did not respect that MSU had stuffed teams running in the redzone all year and at same time seemed to respect their atrocious pass defense too much. Playcalling was the only reason this game wasn't over sooner.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:48 PM ^
JH was intentionally not respecting Tucker.
October 30th, 2022 at 7:32 AM ^
No kidding. Corum still out there on the last drive. We're running trick pass plays when MSU was trying to let the clock run out and get off the field.
The hate dial got turned up to 11.
October 30th, 2022 at 8:08 AM ^
Maybe I missed it but did our receivers get open against their atrocious secondary? How do Roman Wilson and Anthony not have huge games? Johnson had one (maybe two) great reception but but got stripped.
I’ve heard Brian and Seth argue they get plays designed to get them open but I didn’t see much today.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:07 PM ^
Whatever. We treated this game like we were playing Northwestern. There were almost no new wrinkles. I don't imagine we'll see a change in that trend for ahwile
October 29th, 2022 at 11:58 PM ^
Yes. This game had a very Indiana vibe to it.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:07 PM ^
Mel Tucker isn't good at it.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:25 PM ^
He's good at getting paid really, really well.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:36 PM ^
Tuck and Frames ought to co-author a book on how to get paid more for doing less. They are renowned experts on the subject.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:45 PM ^
They already published the love letters to KW3 and Saquon Barkley (which was their secret)
October 29th, 2022 at 11:54 PM ^
This. Great observation.
October 30th, 2022 at 7:36 AM ^
He reminds me of Izzo on the sideline. Constantly pissed off, yelling like his head is ready to explode.
October 30th, 2022 at 10:34 AM ^
If Tuck's skin color were white would he resemble Brian Kelly?
October 30th, 2022 at 1:50 PM ^
I think he needs more fiber in his diet.
October 30th, 2022 at 8:04 AM ^
...yet he's now 2-1 against us.
October 30th, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
Yea no crap, the better team does not always win, stuff happens. He is still an average to below average coach, though I still think he is an ok guy and I hope he stays there.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
Tuck Bummin'
October 29th, 2022 at 11:09 PM ^
Coach Harbaugh now is on a winning streak against every other Big Ten team.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:28 PM ^
I don't think that "one" is really a streak. By definition, it needs to be "a series of consecutive successes". Although I like the fact that Michigan is 20-2 since the beginning of last season. Not many can compete with that record.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:09 PM ^
Improve the play calling inside the 20 and we are golden! Gotta get that together! Otherwise another dominating win for us tonight.
October 30th, 2022 at 12:38 AM ^
I'm already golden
October 30th, 2022 at 8:48 AM ^
Braggart.
October 30th, 2022 at 2:36 PM ^
Ahhhh ..... so you are! =)
October 29th, 2022 at 11:10 PM ^
3rd and 11 when you're already in FG range and you run it? The downside of passing for the 1st down is...you're still in FG range. Chicken shit play calling as long as the game was close. Two OC's doesn't work.
October 29th, 2022 at 11:11 PM ^
Yeah I do not get it. It's a terrible pass defense. You have Ronnie and Andrel who can both go get contested balls. Seemed like they were afraid to even take a shot at the endzone
October 29th, 2022 at 11:34 PM ^
People keep saying it’s a terrible pass defense. They were in pretty good contact with our receivers all night. Playing it safe three made sense given that and the time/score.
October 30th, 2022 at 9:39 AM ^
Because they were ranked 111th in the country in pass defense coming into the game. Odd we didn’t take advantage of that.
October 30th, 2022 at 10:04 AM ^
It's because it is a terrible pass defense. Did you see what every other P5 team minus Wisconsin did to them? If they were in good contact with our receivers all night that says a lot more about us than it says about them
October 29th, 2022 at 11:16 PM ^
Smart call. Continue to put points on the board, let your defense dominate, and win the game.
