Michigan / Northern Illinois - Game Thread (12 PM, BTN)

Corum is really special with his vision and cuts.

Damn…do you guys realize what we have with Corum? This is one of those where you start to get those tingly feelings of a legit star. 

Efficient drive.  Great start by Defense, great return, great 49 yd drive.

Well the tv cut out for half the plays but seemed like a great drive 

Yikes, the O-Line just plowed NIU on that sneak.

Great start by all three phases! 

It would be awesome if AJ had a chance to catch about 8 punts today lol. The more love game practice the better. 

While I really appreciate how Haskins runs, Corum is the real deal.  The guy is going to be the best RB we have had since Mike Hart.  Incredible vision and change of direction.

Great start

Time to punish Lombardi for last year Let’s Go Blue!!

Road graders

How is Coastal Carolina rated higher than us?

Man, these coaches look so young. I feel OLD

Got fooled there

Some big gashes this second d drive

D needs to clamp down

D has to adjust. Too much hole. Tackle dammit

Defense, wake up. People are sleeping out there.

Gray needs to tackle better. They're moving the ball pretty well right now.

Some big gashes this second d drive

gray is a bad tackler

Okay, THAT might be the worst tackling I've seen this season. 

Uh…defense?

No D-Line push at all.

Good play calling by the NIUY OC

Fairly predictable after a big win. Gotta shake it off and tighten up here. Guys are standing up losing leverage, not sure tackling, etc 

As long as they get it together it’s a good learning experience for a young team. 
 

Go Blue!

Bad tackling 

Such bad tackling.

Is this the bend don't break D? 

Hm bet they kick

This drive is not as fun as the first one was

Stepped out at 4.5 yd line.  Check that spot. 

NIU doing some interesting things with their lines.  Gotta shore up tackling a bit.

If they want to win they have to go for it.

I made a pledge to the Mrs. to have no game day negativity, but fuckin a it's hard not to bitch about Vincent Gray.

It is freakish how mental football is. When you coach it is so predictable after a big win to see some sloppy plan. Remember how crisp tackling was last two weeks? 

they will lock it down but for a lot of new guys this is when you learn…game in and game out, play in and play out you gotta be on it. 

It’s very early in his career, but Moten needs to tackle better. Two weeks in a row he‘s given up yards when he should have wrapped up. I expect it with Gray, but not a S.

Goddamn, Washington was horrible.

The fucking tackling, holy shit.

Surprised they didn’t go for it

Bent didn’t break

Bad decision by NIU.

I don’t understand how these announcers are saying NIU should have gone for it on 4th down…. Take the points this early in the game is the smart move.
