MGoPodcast 8.3: Omnidirectional Combustion
[Patrick Barron]
Sponsors
Our sponsors make all of this possible. The show is presented by UGP & Moe's, and their newest outlet, an entire store on Main Street dedicated to Bo. We'll be doing our Homecoming Edition of the weekly Friday Moe's Show from there in case you need an excuse to look inside. It's downtown, at 333 South Main, if "The storefront where Sarah Harbaugh is trying to yank her struggling husband from the door jamb" isn't clue enough.
Also thanks to the rest of our sponsors: The University of Michigan Alumni Association, Homesure Lending, Michigan Law Grad, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, Liz Crowe and Ann Arbor Elder Law.
Special Teams
starts at 0:57
Colorado’s punt team is confused, porous. Peppers was gonna get one. Kenny Allen had a no good, very bad, Desmond Morgan vs. Minnesota day. Illegal pro-style punt formation. Pro style punting sucked because it always does. Brian talks about ND-MSU game theory.
Offense
starts at 14:56
As one-yard touchdowns go, Isaac’s one-yard one was pretty impressive. Newsome is super agile and coming along. Speight had some really bad throws, Navarreian speed. The five-TE/O’Korn dive was confusing. Brian reviews the fans in his section.
Defense
starts at 36:11
Horrendous until they were themselves. RPO slant killed them; safeties need to start wrecking those guys before Ohio State. Don Brown learning curve: how prepared are these guys? Dymonte Thomas had a no good, very bad, Desmond Morgan vs. Minnesota day. Sefo Liufau had the opposite of that until the DL figured out how to murder him. Spaces between comments, ribs get filled by Rashan Gary. Jabrill Peppers explodes, should always be in space.
Talking Big Ten w/ Jamie Mac
starts at 55:34
Which is the Big Ten team? Big win for Bill Connelly, who gets a week off from Iowa fans upset that his numbers don’t like them. Georgia State is another team you should never schedule but that doesn’t explain Wisconsin’s offense sputtering out against a new Sun Belt team. Illinois had 3 rushing yards vs a MAC team and this was totally expected. Chris Ash Era is all about storming back from three scores down to Howard and the lesser team from New Mexico. Ohio State concern, Michigan State respect. Brian threatens corporeal punishment.

I think you guys confused Georgia State with Georgia Southern. Georgia Southern beat Florida in 2013. Georgia State is absolutely awful and has been awful for years. There is no excuse at all for how close Wisconsin came to losing to them.

Georgia Southern (Eagles) has a long history of winning national championships in what was then 1-AA, especially in the '80s and '00s. They won the Sun Belt in their first season in FBS in 2014.
Georgia State (Panthers) first season as a program was 2010, and have only been FBS starting with the 2013 season. They reached a bowl at 6-6 last season, but still have a lot of growing to do as a program.

I can't remember which touchdown it was, but on one of Notre Dame's three late touchdowns, there was a penalty against Michigan State on the PAT, which moved the ball to the 1.5 yardline for the PAT. If Notre Dame was ever going to try to make up that point, that would have been the time to do it.
