Peppers
He deserves an appreciation thread for tonight's effort. I don't think even Charles ever played this many snaps. Our defense was gassed at the end of the game, but on the last dirve who made a shoe string tackle to save the tackle and the win? I'll give you a hint: he had played over 80 snaps already.
Legendary game. Reminds me of the Chris Perry game vs little brother where he had like 50 carries.

Someone put him in an ice bath, and give him a protein shake. What an effort. On the kickoff where the ball went into the endzone, you could tell he was fighting fatigue, yet he still saves the game on the last drive!
Incredible, incredible, player.

A football player.
He is that.

Maybe next year he will have a legitimate shot at the Heisman. Heisman voters like patterns and he will remind them of Woodson. I would say "as a senior," but I don't think we will have the pleasure of watching him in a Michigan uniform that long.

Jourdan Lewis has set the precedent and Peppers seems to be serious about his education.

You mean all those recruiting stars actually mean something?
November 1st, 2015 at 1:17 AM ^
I thought we went back to just wanting two stars "who want to play Michigan football"
There you go flipping the narrative again.

He really didn't "almost fuck us." He touched it without anyone around, knew he touched it, and was not under pressure to gain control of it. Everything after that was just dumbasses in the announcing booth and on the field not knowing the rules (potentially including Peppers, but doesn't change the fact that he didn't need to do anything other than gain position of it in the endzone)
It's the same instinct that saves us 15 yards of field position on a lot of the punts when he sprints forward and dives to make the catch.

I want him to play offense but I was thinking 5-7 plays a game.
Worried about some of the hits he took - he doesnt need to truck everyone on offense (can fall earlier to avoid the hits) as he is so needed on D, but at this point he is the only scary player on offense (Chesson can be in space but getting him the ball in space is difficult) so you really can't do much about it. Looks like they put a lot of plays in for him these past 2 weeks as evidenced by his pass (near) attempt.
Dude is going to be in a ice bath for 48 hrs after that game. I hope we dont need him vs rutgers as we will vs Indiana, PSU, OSU.

never played that many snaps in a game on offense. Peppers is something else. Tip hat to Wilton Speight as well he had a heck of a drive for a TD and a 2 pointer. Without the 2 pointer, we lose.

at the end of the game, I thought to myself, this guy is a cool customer. You could see his confidence pickup on that last drive.
November 1st, 2015 at 12:16 AM ^
you could just see the confidence build.
November 1st, 2015 at 12:50 PM ^
Wiltons's perspective in his interview on the field - impressive.
November 1st, 2015 at 1:01 AM ^
Speight = the harbourmaster
November 1st, 2015 at 4:40 AM ^
..exactly the demeanor you want in your starting QB.
Speight seemed more settled and chilled out on the sideline than Rudock.
Rudock must have done a lot better in practice to have earned the starting job over Speight.
Personally, I'd like to see more of Speight based on the little bit he showed us in getting the winning points last night.

I would not be surprised if we he gets to play a little bit in the next few weeks. Can he do that for a full game or half a game? Don't know. He may get that opportunity. It depends on how serious Rudock's injury is. Probably not too serious, but he might be rested. We will see. But, I am with you. It is very encouraging to see Wilton get confidence at the end. Loved it.

superman. did it all. kinda wish he coulda thrown that touchdown to butt, but i'll "settle" for speight doing it.
November 1st, 2015 at 1:15 AM ^

was just ridiculous defense. I mean, Peppers is in the wildcat and he's rolling out. As a defense you have to be thinking run. But nope, they stayed disciplined and had Butt double-teamed. That's just not supposed to happen.
November 1st, 2015 at 12:20 PM ^
I am still a 12 year old in an old mans body, but every time I see butt and double team I giggle.
October 31st, 2015 at 11:20 PM ^
He was two spins away from a couple of long TD's. It's only a matter of time. Heroic effort tonight.
November 1st, 2015 at 6:18 AM ^
he was so close to having an INT that would've been a pick-6.

Speight. Entered the program behind much higher rated QB's. Speight didn't give no ****s.
The media focused on Jake and Shane for the QB position for the season. Speight didn't give no ****s.
Harbaugh signed 100 QB's during his first "official" signing period where he had 3? months to prepare for? Speight didn't give no ****s.
Jake went down during a play that deserved a penalty and recieved none. Speight gave no ****s.
Speight, under tons! of pressure needed to score a TD to win. Speight gave no ****s.
One touchdown, a 2-point conversion later. Speight still doesn't give a fuck. Speight is a starting Michigan QB and has earned it.
If Speight never gets the nod for another start in his career I will always remember him. He was subbed into a game during a HUGE point in Michigan's history.
Losing this game, Michigan would reasonably never be in the BIG 10 Champtionship game conversation agian, for the year. Michigan would have lost a conference trophy...again.
Speight stepped in during a TREMENDOUS point of the game. No time to warm up. No time to gauge the defense. Speight gave no ****s.
Speight is a Michigan QB. Speight stepped in and delivered. He gave no fucks.

You don't ever want a guy doing so much, but to beat OSU and maybe even Penn State, i think it might be neccessary
