OSU Snowflakes - The Special Teams

Well, Jake Moody looked good again 

I’d say pretty OK Special Teams all around. 

I will hold my displeasure for our team, the mods of this board and some users. But I am not surprised in the slightest at this outcome. Let’s uh not lose the bowl game this time?

Abolish the punt, to me that was a turning point, also punts have never been good in the history of UM. Go for it on 4th regardless of down/distance or do a pooch kick. WTF

Did anyone ever tell Ambry how to signal fair catch?

Hart, take your time on the punt. 

Every phase was a shitshow in the biggest game of the year. 

Moody knocked through 2 @ OSU. That is good.

Two big mistakes hurt the margin of the game, but did not effect the outcome imho. 

Can someone please tell Thomas to stop catching balls that are flying out of bounds without calling fair catch? 

Jake Moody did well, but our punting and coverage could’ve been better

Punting was awful (1 block more due to slow motion by Hart than speed by OSU and inability to get punts inside 20.  Thomas made one bad decision after another on kickoffs, the worst by far being when he caught the ball that was about to fly out of bounds, but in many other instances he elected to run back the kickoff and got stopped well before the 25.  Coverage on punts was pretty bad.  All in all, the only part of special teams that worked was Moody's FG kicking.

Nice to see we can kick field goals in an era where they’re basically irrelevant. 

Return game was atrocious; Ambry was mental. Blocking has been atrocious on kicks often this year, and this game was over on the blocked punt score.

Coverage on punts and kickoffs was part of the problem. We have them great field position all game. 

Blocked punt for TD, fielding kickoffs out of bounds...

Is there any facet of the game that Michigan exceled in today?

You can watch football for 40 years and you'll never a see a blocked punt hang so perfectly in the air for a defense to return.

Ridiculous that nobody blocked for the punter. There was 7 guys on him in no time. Horrible coaching

Jake Moody is a very impressive your player. Hart was very mediocre - at best. Thomas had his worst game on returns. 

Gentry should have punted, since he would have had no problem dropping the ball inside the 5 yard line. . .

Punt block was a killer. Why don't we have a second layer of blockers?

Moody has come up HUGE.  Ambry played scared.  I HATE when punters take their freaking time.  The osu muffed kick was such a gift...

Jake Moody looked great again this week.  Coaches should have told Ambry to just fair catch everything.  Got burned with field position too many times.

The coaching sucks, get your team ready for a BIG game, don't come in flat and get punked by these bitches. Writing it here so it doesn't get BURIED in some dumb hawttakes thread that is so many pages long nobody will ever read it.

The blocked punt changed the game...but it was right after the Gentry drop that cost us a first down.

Have we ever punted without a shield like that this year? What was the point of that? 

It did not work. Whatever it was.

Defense wasn’t prepared for their offense. Maybe lack of depth at DT hurt. I think Winovich and Gary were hurt. Either that or they just played poorly. 

Offensively, they weren’t prepared for a shootout. Patterson and Gentry played poorly. Still, the coaches must be prepared for a shootout. Little offensive mostions, no reverses, no confusion for the OSU safeties, etc. 

I don't want to talk about the game at all, so I have hentai visual novel recommendations in the following order:

1. The Fruit of Grisaia

2. Katawa Shouju

3. Clannad

4. Muv-Luv and the follow up Muv-Luv alternate.

5. Devil in a G-String

The first 4 will crush and free your soul.

Yeah, I know its weird. I thought anyone who would play one of these needed fucking help. But, I'm telling you, there's a reason these things have a huge following.

You can play the pg-rated versions of them on steam (except for KS) if you're worried about playing weird shit. The sex scenes are almost beside the point. Seriously. Clannad has no weird content at all.

Oh, and fuck Ohio State.

Oh wow great.

Sc giveth, and SC taketh today.

Harbaugh's philosophy of going for 2 every time we're down 8 or 15 is idiotic. Kick the extra point if it's early and see how things go. That put us even further behind, though it ended up not mattering in the end.

ST were shitty just like the other two phases of the game. 

I hate everything.

Two good looking FG's offset by two blunders -- the blocked punt came at a crucial point and put the nail in our coffin.  And Ambry's gaffe on the kickoff.
