and, I cant stomach reading this. Lame, I admit, but I have decided to move on to Indiana. Oh, I have also resolved to drinking more.

I live in New Mexico, where sparties are few and far between. Living in Michigan has been rough for nearly a decade on this score. From that angle, I've been lucky to be here.

he was pretty measured and didn't gloat about it too much. always a good read.

Usually a good read and I don't think this week is an exception. Always seems to be a measured approach, I think.

OSU lost a game at home vs the Spartys in similar weather a couple of years ago.

This was brutal, but not wrong:
If you took the numbers off of the Michigan running back jerseys and just watched them run, you’d still have no problem knowing who had the ball. Higdon is the guy who keeps fighting for yards. Ty Isaac is the guy who just leans forward and doesn’t bother driving his legs. Chris Evans is the guy who would love to keep running, but a random arm grabbed him and now he has been tackled.

If the right side is so weak, why not swap Bredeson and Onwenu. And then start the kid Filiaga at RT. Man it pisses me off, how few startable tackles we have... ZERO... Cole isn't a tackle, but a REPEATED failure by both coaching staffs, not just Hoke but by Harbaugh too. Somehow msc can manage with scrubs and they kick our ass, yet we have to watch the slow trainwreck at tackle... and no, its not only because of Newsome... the RT was still a monster hole, and no backups. Sometimes I think the coaching staff should advise with Brian or Seth or whoever here, just to have PERSPECTIVE from afar, sometimes it is needed. We all knew this would be a problem, for years... even counted the minutes until we got a grad transfer T that never came.

Bredeson has to relearn to change his stance and techniques/footwork since it's the complete opposite from LG.
It's like telling a baseball player who throws right handed, to start throwing lefthanded. Same concept.
I would keep Bredeson at LG and find someone else who has been trained to play at the right side on the right side.
October 10th, 2017 at 11:27 AM ^
Fair enough... and Bredeson looks quite heavy footed so it won't be happening either.
Am just shocked how Harbaugh dropped the ball here, the OL is a mess. We have three centers, a zillion guards, and NOT ONE Tackle that is startable.
If they were confident in their plan, then they should start Honigford and Filiaga, and put Cole back at C.
Honigford Bredeson Cole Onwenu Filiaga
or get Ruiz on the field and remove the worst guard....
Honigford Ruiz Cole Onwenu Filiaga

you know about OL. OL players have consistently said it's very difficult to switch side because they would need to relearn everything from ground up from one side to other side. This isn't Madden.

but he's intelligent and honest. He also answered the question why we threw the ball (is there anyone in town who has not called in to either Sam/Ira, or Jamie/Marcus to ask? anyone?)
The answer is 2.6ypc. 3 and out. O'Korn is capable of throwing for the 1st down. I have hope. He gets some force on that ball even in wind/rain. It's been said here enough times - good passes were dropped.
one minor correction, I thought Lewerke did take a sack, in the second half.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:04 PM ^
The trouble with Higdon is he missed at least one huge cutback that would have resulted in a long gain or points in each of the first 3 games, on limited touches. It's nice that he runs through contact, but without vision it's always gonna be 3-yards-and-dust.
At this point all of our RBs have had a crappy fumble. Maybe we need to stop benching them for it midgame and just ride the hot hand.

they complain about their linebacker injuries when dismissing that 49-10 shellacking, but never can explain why they scored only 10
October 10th, 2017 at 2:24 PM ^
Take away that 50 yard bust and the backs went for 49 yards on 24 carries (2 YPC).
The only concern I would have is Lewerke running free on busted plays. A couple of those were near sacks such as the first touchdown where Hurst almost had him in the backfield.

Damn you double post!

Saturday was the 21st time in O’Korn’s career that he has thrown at least 10 passes in a game and it was the tenth time he failed to complete at least half of his pass attempts.
Rain or shine, this is who O’Korn is. If you’re a quarterback coach, he has enough ability to intrigue you, and enough inconsistency to get you fired.

But I've been reading painful things since Saturday night. It's like lancing boils to let out the purulence. Hopefully there is some purulence coming out in practice and also in conversations between the coaches. They have some serious work to do if we want to beat Indiana Saturday. I hope they show up determined and pissed off. I haven't seen a whole lot of conviction from this team this season except for latter part of the Purdue game after Speight went down.
