Now why would you kick the FG there? Kill is a weird coach.

Jerry's last call confirms it, they're not trying to win

Jerry Kill is channeling his inner Bielema, just awful game day coaching, how on earth are you faking on 4th and 17 but not going for it on 4th and goal in back to back possessions?

We were down 17 - and there was more time left (about 7 minutes, IIRC).

Wow, second time Minnesota has driven into our 5 yard line, and they only get field goals on each of them. Stout red zone defense.

Jerry Kill might be the dumbest coach on the B1G.

In terms of the running game rawls is much more productive than fitz.

Not sure anybody would question him or his toughness if he wore a jacket or a sweatshirt when its near 32 degrees outside.

Hard to be an effective coach when your fighting pneumonia!

He should be familiar w/ Fitz

Here's a SWAG...His notes for the game mislabel Thomas Rawls as #28 instead of #38.

Martin is describing the antithesis of Fitz.

Why has the play calling been more effective this week? Is this what we can expect post Denard?

Is usually more successful when you are playing against a team that just doesn't have the playmakes to stop what you are trying to do.

Great win for Michigan....let's hope that Michigan St can help us and beat Nebraska.
