MSU Snowflakes - The Defense
October 20th, 2018 at 5:10 PM ^
Defense was freaking phenomenal. All game.
October 20th, 2018 at 9:03 PM ^
Is it possible the D is better with Uche vs Gary? sure seems so. Am sorry to say that but it might be true.
October 20th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
Maybe Uche is really, really good in his own right and the rest of the team stepped up some when they lost Gary. Or the defense is just playing at a higher level because they're improving as they play. And it's a coincidence that Gary happens to be out while it's happening.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:12 PM ^
It was like Michigan had 15 guys on the field on defense the entire game.
We wondered what this defense would look like when their safeties weren’t getting beat like last year. Well the last 2 weeks are it. With the way the safeties and LBs and taking care of the center of the field, there’s nowhere to go.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:14 PM ^
Pretty amazing domination. I don't think they had a drive of 25 yards if you back out penalty yards from a few drives. Rutgers level domination in the passing game. Very impressive accomplishment.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
Remember how there was kind of like a little miniature Lewerke for Heisman campaign?
October 20th, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
Bush made a statement before the game tearing up the Sparty logo, but he sure as hell backed it up with his play in the field.
That’s what playmakers do. That’s what great football players do. Seemed like for years Michigan was all talk and no walk. Today, that defense was ALL walk.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:37 PM ^
He had the exclamation point sack on MSU’s attempt at a sad ref-aided TD drive too.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
Go Blue.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
With MSU ending with 94 total yards, don't think they can even try to claim 'defeat with dignity.'
I think they messed up Lewerke's confidence.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
Lewerke wanted no part of our D. The backup looked better.
October 20th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Not really. He had what, a ~40 drive assisted by49 yards of penalties on the D? That looks like a -9 drive. Not what I'd call better.
October 21st, 2018 at 1:08 AM ^
I'm not saying he looked GOOD. But he actually threw an accurate pass.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
Stay aggressive, but don’t get lazy with cheap shots—especially at the end.
Uche is a beast. The players were right. This is the best line we’ve had, perhaps ever, in terms of to a man depth. Even without Gary, Mattison’s coaching and the recruiting—it’s great to be a Wolverine.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
Sparty got Lewerked over by our D.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:19 PM ^
Feels goooood to completely dismantle that stupid team. Need to watch penalties though. MSU always baits us into a million of them and we probably gave them more penalty yards than yards of offense.
Fear the stache

October 20th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
There was some serious pity refereeing going on at the end there.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
You know, this Don Brown guy's pretty good. I vote we keep him employed another week.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
The D took Sparty's dignity. Just amazing.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
Utterly dominant outside of bone headed penalties.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
If the boneheaded penalties have to be the tradeoff for the intensity we've seen this year, I'll take the penalties 8 days a week. This defense was out to eat souls today.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
“Sometimes your little brother starts acting up, and you just gotta put them in place.” - Chase Winovich on FOX after Michigan beat MSU.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:23 PM ^
94 yards given up. Yeah, gave up more in penalty yards (99). And I’m okay with that.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:27 PM ^
Uh oh, Winovich talks about "little brother" again
October 20th, 2018 at 5:29 PM ^
Good. Having two terrible coaches is why we sucked against them, not Mike Hart's soundbite.
October 20th, 2018 at 6:47 PM ^
No. Not true. It helped galvanize them.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:40 PM ^
I'm OK with that. Because frankly I'm tired of the high road against these scumsucking shitheads. Their school covered up rape for 20 years and Dantonio looks the other way every time one of his players does anything felonious and they tried to literally kill Denard by ripping his spinal cord apart and I'm sick of apologizing for behavior that isn't even worth the batting of an eye, like shoving a stake into the turf. Kick up the logo and call them little brother because they deserve it and it makes them mad.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:27 PM ^
Lol chase called them little brother again. "They couldn't hang with us. They tried their best but just couldn't hang with us."
October 20th, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
23 carries for 15 yards.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
Now we don’t have to hear about how Dantonio has covered the spread every year he has been there.
October 20th, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
Instead, we covered the spread. It was Michigan by 7.5, I believe.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:45 PM ^
The whole D was incredible, but special shout outs to:
-Winovich
-Uche
-Defensive backs, all of them
That was a clinic.
What makes it especially impressive is that it's a road game in hostile territory.
All-time great defensive performance. This team is looking special. Wow!
October 20th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
Coach Z outa get some accolades.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:45 PM ^
Ummmmm... I got nothin
October 20th, 2018 at 5:45 PM ^
It was effectively a shutout. Their only score was off the fumble in the red zone.
October 20th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
Off a trick play to boot.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
There is something different about this Michigan team and it is all good.
October 20th, 2018 at 5:54 PM ^
Don Brown and his Dudes were outstanding (even without Gary). Lewerke was rattled and their rushing game was throttled. Great to see Bush & Dwumfour with the late sacks to slam shut the door.
Game ball to the whole defense.
October 20th, 2018 at 6:47 PM ^
Throttled? That MSU rush game made 16 total yards in 4 quarters of football. That was a total f-ing beat down, stuffed in a garbage bag and dumped in East Landfill. Go Blue !!!
October 20th, 2018 at 5:56 PM ^
MI had more 1st downs than Sparty had rushing yards
October 20th, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
Pretty studly today. State couldn’t do nothing. I hope Gary can come back and enjoy the fun.
October 20th, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
Just now Chase Winovich was asked if he was surprised they held MSU to only 94 yards. Chase responded "I am surprised that they got that many yards, they aren't on our level." He also said MSU got away with lots of dirty plays against the defense that the refs couldn't see.
October 20th, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
Can we stop with the "little brother" comments now? I've always preferred little bitches!
October 20th, 2018 at 6:11 PM ^
Don Brown is a genius! long live Don Brown!
October 20th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
Lewerke is 22/57 for 194 yards passing vs Michigan in his career.
October 20th, 2018 at 6:32 PM ^
Love that Chase is calling them Little Brother. They are that and always will be. MSU is lucky as hell to not be 0-4 against Harbaugh.
October 20th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
The GOAT is Don Brown and UM's defense ... 1.9 yards per play allowed, on the road. That is crazy!!!
October 20th, 2018 at 6:41 PM ^
The Michigan Defense:

Someone at the Ronald McDonald House in Detroit might be getting fired.
They've deleted it and say "Sorry for our previous error! Definatly and accidental post - we're looking into it and we're actually a team led wolverines over here!".
