why make the games so fucking tedious with every check of very 5 yard out of bonds or not completion if you CANNOT PULL YOUR FUCKING HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS TO REVERSE A REALLY FUCKING OBVIOUS CALL.  The Big Ten is nothing more than a slightly modified WWF. The fix is in. Until the bowls, and then we suck, even more.

How the fuck does Hoke not know the complete the process rule??? Are you fucking kidding me?? It was pretty obvious that he didn't complete the process and that was why it wasn't challenged,,,,,, fuck I mean any play that is fucking close is reviewed in this day and age, but no Brady has no fucking clue and decides to challenge??? Are you fucking Kidding me

Are you fucking kidding me? You obviously have no idea how that works. Hoke played that exactly as he should have. It's the replay booth's job to review calls like that. He gave it some seconds to see if they'd do their fucking jobs, and when it was clear that he had no choice but to spend the timeout to challenge, that's what he did. And lost, because fuck these refs and replay officials. Fuck em all. They blatantly robbed us, and it's complete bullshit.

He had already "completed the process of the catch".  He took two steps and fell out of bounds.  The officials misapplied the rule because, well, as usual, Big Ten officials really really suck at their jobs.

But here's the thing. 400 yards to an average quarterback. Too little too late in the effort. No turnovers caused. Bad tackling. Inconstent offense. 

It's just the state of the program right now. This struck me as a "last gasp" game before the oncoming storm. At this point, 4-8 looks good. 

I feel bad for DG and the kids. I don't for Hoke or Brandon. Broom them on Monday and let's turn the page on this year.

Big Ten replay officials are generally woefully ignorant of even the most basic rules of college football, let alone complex calls such as this.  Hell, don't you remember the play a few years ago where the Big Ten replay official gave us a touchdown on the pass play where our receiver never got a single foot down in bounds but managed to clip the pylon with his foot?  It was an obvious incomplete pass but the Big Ten replay guy called it a TD, because the Big Ten replay guys are TERRIBLE.

 

For years, the head Big Ten replay guy was Jim Augustyne, who was a certified MORON.  He had no clue what the difference between an incompete pass and a fumble was.  But he was in charge of the Big Ten replay guys for years.  I've found that when you have a moron in charge of things, he usually hires other morons.

 

It's possible one of the reasons the replay guys suck so badly is that instead of hiring directly for the position, they instead take old refs who can no longer hack it on the field (and we're talking about the terrible Big Ten refs to begin with, so you can only imagine how bad the guys who can't hack it anymore are)  and put them in the replay booth.  I don't know this for a fact but someone told me this is how they did it at one point and it wouldn't surprise me.  So basically that would mean you have a bunch of old, washed up refs running the replay booth.  Which would be why you will get the right call from a coin toss as often as you will from a Big Ten replay official.

That an unfornuate concussion and an incredibly fucking ridiculous incomplete call are clouding the issue with this coaching staff. The offense finally displays a pulse, and the defense makes Nova look like Tom Brady on his best day.  It is oct 4th and this fucking year can be over now.

I believe it was Kalis--  I will let the others look at this.  This is OL-PULL scheme, as opposed to Zone-blocking.

 

The Nuss-O might have found something here--  OL-PULL RunPlays To LT-Cole.  RunPlays LEFT worked well in the game, which is what I was looking for.

 

Its a shame its taken So Long to find this--  ideally, you-d like to to see a MIX of ZONE-PULL schemes with RunPlay Left.

 

I hope the Nuss-O can stay with this, and Build Outward From HERE.  And to begin to look like a MICHIGAN-OC team  . . .
