O’Korn jams his thumb picking up a ball during warmups. Pressed into duty, Malzone throws for only 160 yards but no sacks or turnovers, and Nordin has a record setting seven FG performance and a 21-20 win.
Took Dabo awhile, but Urban and Saban won national titles in their third seasons.
We expected Harbaugh to deliver similarly. And we expected him to develop QBs, on the heels of poor Devin Gardner’s regression.
If we recalibrate, consider 8-4 with a successful defense of the Little Brown Jug and a 25% winning percentage versus Sparty and OSU to be OK, that allows for the odd pleasant upset surprise. Expecting 100% success vs OSU, PSU, Sparty, ND and we’ll always be cranky fans, even with seven or eight million spent on coaching salaries.
QB situation though, is very troubling. Morris was a 4 star recruit and Jimmy and staff couldn’t make anything out of him. Malzone was recruited by Hoke but technically a member of Harbaugh’s first class. Another four star recruit they have coached into a holder after they couldn’t get him to transfer. Zach Gentry, yet another four star QB they did not develop at that position and instead turned into another good TE out of a group of four or five really good TEs.
Meanwhile, somehow, they don’t offer a kid from Saline whose dad coached at UM for what, 15 years, and whose brother played WR for UM, and who is a starting QB as a RS freshman for a Va Tech team ranked as highly as #12 this year.
As far as inexperience up front, the Wisconsin line that just handled us has no seniors on the two deep.
Same years, same Taylor hallway, same recollections of Baer, Burton, and the Yoopers. I don't think the wake up was so much early, as it seemed really early on a Saturday. Sorry to hear that the T.O.W. may have fallen victim to rampant political correctness; it was fun.

W feels great. We certainly demonstrated ‘Nova is not a top ten team though.
