Haha yeah I sniped that font off right as I was Gaussian-blurring the hell out of that photo.

I am as bad at Photoshop as Denard is good at the zone read, so I'm thinking you should start making us all some wallpapers this week?

He is unbelievable!!!

Still, the defense is not good enough for this team to take a big step forward. They need a running game from running backs so Denard survives the season. Field goal kicking....lol debacle. they need major improvments to succeed in the big ten season...

 

but still...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Denard, but I think we have a long way to go. I am ecstatic about the win, but we should have won this easily. I think we may be ranked, but really don't feel that we should be.

I feel the same way. I'm excited for the win, but Denard was way too much of the offense today and our defense made the same stupid mistakes we saw last season. The penalties were also pretty terrible today. More than one time a penalty killed our drive. We have some stuff to work on the next couple of weeks (field goals!), but I think we're looking at a 7-8 win season which I'll take if it means Rich Rod gets to keep his job.

Can we please work on:

1) Stupid Penalties

2) Special teams.

3) Extra Credit: 3rd downs

 

I know I should be enjoying this, but we could have won by 28 pts.

p.s. 

Denard.

4. Tackling

5. Putting some pressure on the QB (i.e., sending more than three on obvious passing downs)

Great win, but that's small consolation for my broken TV remote!

Winning like that with a +3 turnover margin isn't good. I'll take the win and I think we dodged a bullet, but generally I think this team is worse than I did a week ago . 7-5.

I think ND has a ton more talent than did CT, particularly in the skill positions, QB excluded.  We will win out share of games this year on Denard's legs and arm, but against better teams...you know the drill.

EDIT: One more thing. Fuck you Lou Holtz!

I'll take it, but I would really like to see someone other than Denard run the ball effectively.  I don't want to say that Denard can't take it, BUT shaw/smith and others have to step up so that he makes it to the end of the year.  I see the advantage of the QB draw Michigan runs, but it will catch up to Denard, maybe around MSU, or IA.

Lets give some props to the way Tate handled himself today. The media (and some of us ) ripped him for his actions last week, but he was a complete team player this week and handled himself like a great Michigan Wolverine.

I HATE that on the one play that Denard went out, RichRod put in Devin. I am a huge Devin fan, don't get me wrong, but for one play...a handoff at that, why not put Tate in to give him some confidence and keep him competing in practice. Denard has been banged up in both games now and I would sure feel a lot better if we kept Tate in the program and contributing.

I am glad you all are pointing Tate. The pregame hug with Rich was great to see. And I recall him jumping to the edge of the field and helping one of the receivers who got his bell rung by reinserting his shoulder pad under his jersey.  I think it was Odoms. 

We will need Tate Forcier before this season is out and I hope he realizes it.  Keep bringing that winner's attitude Tate.

I am glad you mentioned Tate.  The pregame hug with Rich was great. I seem to also recall later in the game that he helped a receiver who got his bell rung by retucking his shoulder pad under the jersey for him.

We will need Tate before the year is out.  Keep bring that winner's attitude and competing hard Tate.

We out played notre dame today we just made a lot mental mistakes. Cam Gordon made two huge mistakes on those long touchdown passes, Roundtree drops a td, gibbons misses two field goals. Very proud of the way the team played especially the defense.

Brilliant game from Robinson. Seriously, he might be in contention for a certain trophy by the end of the year. He shattered our (well, at least my expectations) by braking his own total yardage record. He's the real deal. 

And good job defense. Bend-Don't-Break-Except-Sometimes-AAAARRRGHHH. 

Time to go enjoy the after party.
