Down 10-0 at the half with 5 INTs. Can Hoke get the band back together in time to beat the Irish for the fourth year in a row?
the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

You're correct. The band took a pretty big hit when the ND guy caught that pass out of bounds. I hope they can recover and make any costly mistakes at half time

Fairly well. Denard is not thinking when he throws and he is taking forever and a day to decide.

In a way, Denard almost has too much time to throw. He's sitting in the pocket too long, until he reaches a point where he has to throw because he's not outside the pocket to run, and then just forces it toward a receiver who is covered (double covered? not in the area at all?)

Defense can be improved and will tighten up. Our INTs are absolutely killing us. If we can calm Denard down and start running something that resembles an offense, then we definitely can turn this around. Denard is the x-factor right now. Get him going, and this is completely possible. Let's do this thing! Go Blue!
September 22nd, 2012 at 9:20 PM |
Denard IS calm
Denard IS calm
He's a veteran. He knows what to do. Two of those picks are definitely on him, the pass to Gardner was on the money but gardner cut very slowly. The last pass all 3 receivers slowed down.

Time for a change at QB
Time for a change at QB
Denard is not a passer period. Quite frankley he sucks. He has steadily gotten worse season to season. He's become so predictable as both a runner and passer that against semi good defenses he is no longer effective. Teams just ignore the play fake becasue no one else can run either. Sit him on the bench and let Gardner or Belomy give it a shot. How could the result be any worse.

If you kick onside and don't get you've only given up about 10-15 yards of field position. I'd mix it up between the two but I'd never just kick deep.
