Snowflake Thread: Special Teams Vs. Purdue

DPJ had no choice. Mich never had a return on; they looked like they were guarding against a fake every time except one (the running into the punter play). Pretty good idea given Brohm's go-for-broke style.

Man those announcers sucked. Messed up 3-4 names in addition to the Nordin gaffe and Quinn couldn't figure out why Isaac was used so sparingly until the other guy reminded him that he left the field hurt last week.

Going for the block on 4th and extra-long was the right call. Calling it off after getting hit with one "running into kicker" call was also the right thing to do.

going for the block was the right call? That wasn't the first time UM has been penalized this year for running into the kicker. It was at least the 3rd time. UM had taken control of the game at point. Ne need to give Purdue a cheap first down on a penatly.

And we do have the best FG unit in all the land.

Glad to see them get a rest today--new sheriff on offense may mean fewer FGs, yet more points.

It is hard to argue against Utah at number #1. I do think we have the second best though which is still wonderful

DPJ still is making some poor decisions especially being around a bouncing ball in traffic on kickoffs

I could have sworn the last one was Ambry Thomas. The one where he brought it out ill-advised.

I'm pretty sure that was ambry as well. Kekoa had the white calf sleeves on, ambry had just white socks

4 guys run free on every punt?? Strange. I was hoping we'd see DPJ have a chance to show his stuff.

Other then the punt where UM was penalized it didn't look like they were really trying hard to block a punt but yet Purdue had a swarm of people running free down the field towards DPJ. Give DPJ some blocking and see what he can do.

continues to be top-notch. Meanwhile, why aren't the refs quicker at blowing the play dead when it's clear that a kick-off is clearly boomed out-of-play past the end line? At least 3 times today (and possibly more), each team's kick sailed well over the head of the deep man, and yet the officials we're tardy in whistling the play dead. Ad a result, bodies continued to crash into each other needlessly upfield. It seems that officials could and definitely should be able to stop play a lot quicker, especially since the drumbeat is getting louder and louder to eliminate the kick-off in college to prevent injuries.

Not really any improvement, still pleasantly decent and consistant.

The only big change I'd like to note is WIld Thing punting! I thought that was a great decision. Solid kicks getting some distance and not randomly going out of bounds too early.
