Michigan State Snowflakes: Special Teams

Our dudes played hard. They deserve respect. Official reviews 8. Michigan 0.

Guess what team had more penalty yards against?
October 30th, 2021 at 6:18 PM ^
Neither of these metrics have much meaning in the abstract. More penalty yards could be an indication of one team committing more penalties not ref bias. Similarly 8-0 review calls could be correct, however what was the justification for overturning the call on the field for the strip sack?

Really 8-0 on reviews?

Jake Moody was superb, and 4 for 4 in field goal at the end of the first half, and officially 4 for 4 on the day. Unfortunately 5 TD > 3 TD's and 4 fgs. Not sure about the fake punt except it did not work.

It wasn’t a fake. He bobbled the ball. Once he recovered his grip on it, he took off for the first down instead of trying to punt it and getting it blocked. That was good situational awareness.
What pissed me off was having only one man back at the end of the half on 4th and 29. State got off a 66 yard punt due to the bounce and roll. Instead of having to go 50 yards, we had to go 70. That drive ended with a FG. But, hey, at least we get to bitch and moan about the replay official overturning our defensive touchdown, costing us 4 points, which so happened to be the final margin. Little plays all throughout the game matter.

I think Moody is a pro but I’m wrong about a lot of things with this team. I hope I am right for him.

Moody will be in the NFL. And he will be a damn good NFL FG kicker. The guy is the surest thing Michigan has at the moment (all due respect to Hutch). Moody is money $$$
October 30th, 2021 at 4:56 PM ^
Moody made 4 in a row at one point.
October 30th, 2021 at 6:28 PM ^
Can you believe they kept trying to ice him??
October 30th, 2021 at 5:51 PM ^
Double post.

I want a Michigan game in which Moody kicks zero FGs and we score touchdowns
October 30th, 2021 at 8:25 PM ^
Moody is too good. Maybe if we had a poor kicking game it would force the offense to play for TDs rather than FGs.
Corum has struggled on returns the past couple of games, often failing to get to the 25. I’m probably still fine with him taking chances though because if he hits one it’ll be worth losing a few yards to start drives.

AJ makes things exciting on punts, but I really miss having someone like Peppers back there to field every single punt no matter where its kicked. Henning let a couple go that cost us big yards in crucial times.
