| 2 years 27 weeks ago | Mouton's Fault |
Mouton keeps flowing to the left on the play, but he vacates the zone he is supposed to be covering. He should be passing Purdue85 onto the other linebacker. If you stop the video at the 9 second mark you can see a WR coming in from the right. Since Mouton left his zone, this WR is actually open underneath. At that point Mouton is still continuing to the left and out of his zone. The only person in the zone is the Umpire. I doubt he'd make a play on the ball if it was thrown. |
| 2 years 27 weeks ago | Penalties Issued When The Clock Is Running |
Whenever a penalty is called when the clock is running, after the ball is reset the clock will re-start. This ensures that teams won't committ a penalty just to stop the clock. I believe this is only for pre-snap penalties like the two that were issued. For a holding penalty, I think the clock is based on the result of the play, ie incomplete pass stops the clock but a tackle in bounds the clock re-starts. |

I do the MSUFR for defense at The Only Colors. MSU ran the same defense against everyone this year. And last year. And in 2007. http://www.theonlycolors.com/2009/10/9/1077716/2008-defensive-scheme From the MSUFR: "Throughout the first 3 quarters Michigan was basically in yakety sax mode on offense. Forcier threw into the flat to a HB who never looked for the ball forcing Michigan to take a FG on their first drive. On Michigan's last drive of the first half, they ran a play that involved three players staring at each other in the backfield and pondering why Brandon Minor had the ball. That was followed with a bad snap that led to a sack/intentional grounding. Michigan simply self destructed in the redzone and got a FG. In the second half there was the play where 99 Worthy literally fell backwards on Tate Forcier and prevented him from getting a first down. Which was followed with the are you kidding me fake punt. Later, Michigan had a Denard Robinson drive end when Robinson decided standing in the pocket for 5+ seconds and seeing no one open required him to stand in the pocket longer. If he had tucked the ball and ran at any point he could have gotten a significant amount of yardage. We've all see the Robinson highlight against Western Michigan so we know what he can do with the ball on the run. There were other plays where open receivers simply dropped the ball. Through the first three quarters Michigan's mistakes on offense made the MSU defense look good." http://www.theonlycolors.com/2009/10/6/1072368/msufr-defense-against-mic... Throughout this year MSU has been adding small adjustments to the defense. Against CMU, the DBs were 10 yards off the LOS. Against ND, they would show press coverage and then back out before the snap. Against Wisconsin they actually had press coverage. I honestly don't recall anything new against Michigan. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | MSU Prep For Michigan |
If MSU does something specific to prep for Michigan, then evidently the offense has not changed much from 2007. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6PUl7tJZkc&feature=player_embedded Watch the 4th quarter come back and you will see the same awesome defensive sets MSU used against Lloyd Carr's team as they used against RichRod's the last two years. Three LBs on the field at all times. Nickel package involves removing a defensive lineman, best shot of that is on Henne's last TD pass. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | Good Point |
I'll know for sure after the Illinois game. I sincerely doubt that MSU makes any changes to the defense though. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | FINALLY!!!!! |
I have been waiting all week for this!!!! The Other Side: http://www.theonlycolors.com/2009/10/6/1072368/msufr-defense-against-mic... On why Michigan can't throw the bubble screen. Offensive Analysis 2 of 17, MSU blitzes the two LBs in the box. Everyone else is in man coverage which is why the safety rushes towards the LOS and the slot receiver. 34 Denson, the other player highlighted, has man coverage on Brown which is why he heads towards the play. As far as MSU prepping explicitly for this game. They don't. That is the shitty defense they have run all year. The shitty defense I have been reviewing. The shitty defense I have been bitching about. It didn't change. Against Wisconsin, MSU added the wrinkle of having the DBs line up in tight coverage. Other than that, it was the same against CMU and ND. The only change that was added for Michigan was how far out the third LB would split when Michigan had trips to one side. Like I said in my UFR, the difference between the first 55 minutes and the last 5 minutes was Michigan finally started executing. All of the Michigan miscues are what cost them this game. |
| 2 years 48 weeks ago | Penn State Defensive Adjustments |
At the start of the game, Penn State was in a nickel defense. Michigan promptly shoved the ball down PSU's throat to get to a 10-7 lead. Penn State then adjusted to a 4-3 defense basically ignoring one of the Michigan receivers. Michigan continued to run well getting another TD to lead 17-7. After that PSU made a personnel change at LB. The new LB was effective in slowing down the running game. At this point Threet also started throwing Taco Pants. This was with about 12 minutes left in the second quarter. Michigan promptly went 3 and out, 3 and out, and 3 and out to finish the half. The start of the second half produced a drive that garnered one first down. The next Michigan first down was on McGuffie's run at the end of the 4th quarter. Penn State made adjustments early in the game that dared Michigan to throw the ball. Obviously PSU's decision was a good one as the Michigan offense collapsed. Penn State loaded the box to stop the run and Michigan was not effective enough throwing the ball to offset that adjustment. This year could be a different story with the new QBs. Penn State has been weak at DT for the last two years. 2007 was the hand it to Mike Hart for 3.5 yards year. The same sorry DTs are back this year. Michigan should again be able to run the ball up the middle. With any effective passing this will create problems for the PSU defense. |
| 3 years 1 week ago | Interesting |
So, for anyone who has an Overall rating of less than 80, they do not have a claim because EA is saying they suck. Who would endorse a product that says they are terrible? Even Billie Mays wouldn't do that. |
| 3 years 1 week ago | Public Figure |
I do not see how this lawsuit has any merit. The athletes are public figures. Each University will release a media guide with a picture of the players. The players will be made available for interviews etc etc. Could they next sue newspapers for making money by using pictures of the players during a game? The newspaper would be using the players likeness. This to me is basically the same as a Papparazi photographing celebrities and then selling the images. People magazine then publishes the images and literally makes money of the likeness of the celebrity. Can someone explain to me why this has any merit? Off hand, I am guessing that this lawsuit was brought about to just get a quick settlement from EA for Keller. |
