How were we outcoached?  We (again) spotted the opposition 14 points with turnovers.  Then, we went "by the book" in bleeding the clock at the end of the game, and it was one snap from working.  He snaps that ball, PSU maybe has 10 seconds to go down the field, maybe.  I look at this game, again on Gardner.  STOP TURNING THE BALL OVER, and you win.  Easy enough.

Well for starters they could have called timeout instead of taking a delay of game 1 play before punting from the 35 instead of a FG from 28. And then to do it twice? Poor coaching.

I love Hoke and love what he is doing here but this was on him.

This team is really not very good at all.  I am disappointed in Hoke for not gambling more in O.T.  The team that gambled won.  I rarely say this about Michigan, but they really did not deserve to win.  The defense failed when we needed a play with 37 seconds left and Penn State with no timeouts.  It was a pathetic effort.

I really don't understand the "gamble more in OT" thing all you guys are throwing around.  PSU got the ball first, didn't score, we set up the EASY FG with our top-notch kicker.  Blocked.  Then back and forth.  Yes, the team that gambled won, but that was after they dodged repeated bullets and at that point had nothing to lose.  Michigan SHOULD have won the game in regulation and twice in OT.

Fans tend to prefer gambling, I think. But I'm with you: you have a high-percentage kicker, a high-variance quarterback, and your offensive line is Schofield-Burzynski-Glasgow-Kalis-Magnuson.

We can argue back and forth, but if people can't even see the argument for playing for the FG there, I don't know what to say.

I wonder what the heck these coaches are doing. They keep preaching technique and fundamentals and it is not working. Where is the improvement? We are young is not acceptable answer... we got beat by a Freshman QB!

no one needs to get fired.

we made some mistakes, made some hits

never agreed with those situations where it all comes down to the FG kicker.  not fair.

THEY cheated like hell, got caught some of the time.

it's not going to be 6/6.

 

what else?

oh yeah GO BLUE!
