Week 10: Best thing you saw...

the re-emerence of Jehu was a very nice thing to see.  Having equally talented receivers on both sides of the field, with the qb showing confidence in both is a nice omen for the remainder of the season. Was happy Jake set the record for TEs because he's been instrumental in the turnaround of the program. Hurst looked real good in the later part of the game where many tend to take time off. The OL opening holes significant enough for DeVeon to run numberous times for 8 - 12 yds. Not seeing Allen in punt formation for another week. Happy O'Korn was able to get another TD toss; Lewis blanketing his receiver and Wilton's continued growth. Knowing any and all recruits in attendance are probably going to return home with M at or near the top for their services. And, of course, The Coach going nuts in yet another blowout. His continuous pursuit of growth and perfection is rare and genuine. Also, almost forgot - Brown making in-game adjustments. Loved it. 

Great to see Jehu coming back to Mr November form.  The Death Star may just be fully operational  

CUBBIES!!!!!

Wilton Speight having his best game yet, looking like he may be the best QB in the Big 10 right now, as noted previously, Deveon Smith running  the football with an enthusiam unknown to mankind, and Jabrill Peppers playing football with his unique and exceptional enthusiasm also unkown to mankind.  Looked like a beautiful day in Ann Arbor on TV too.  Could not have hurt the recruiting this weekend in Ann Arbor.  

Seeing 3 SEC teams lose that were ranked in the top 13 did it for me. That was the best thing I saw besides killing the Terps.

Chesson getting back into the action. If he can have a late season surge he gives the offense an extra edge and Speight another target he can have confidence in.

Air Speight!

Losing it and then turning to the crowd behind him to get us going. It was madness. He's a madman. And he's ours.

with the opportunity for even more.

I also enjoyed the barely intuitive addition of aTm into the CFP lasting a total of 1 week as it should have.

Hearing Armstrong is OK early Sunday is most excellent news too.

De'Veon is the main guy, our reliable bruiser. But Isaac, Higdon, and Evans each provide a potent change of pace. I think we're in good shape for 2017 at RB, even with Smith leaving. As a group, they averaged 7.0 yards per carry yesterday, and are averaging 5.5 YPC for the entire season. The team has already rushed for 208 yards more this year through only 9 games than during the entire 2015 season. (Obvious kudos to the OL for their contribution to this rushing upsurge.)

I laughed at the Levy clip from 1997 when he was reporting that Hurst's Dad had a "bulging dick in his neck".  Credit ESPN for playing that - pretty funny.

Also loved the Harbaugh story of him watching a baseball game in the bleachers while he was the starting QB for the Bears.  Diving for a foul ball and getting mustard all over himself - he is one of a kind man! 

Of Sparty's seven game losing streak, they were favorites in six.

Mark Dantonios bewildered face. For the seventh week in a row.

on a sunny, 65 degree day in november(!), watching us score on each of the first, what, 7 drives, kids had a great time.   traffic wasn't that bad and an enjoyable chat and ride all the way back up north.

and for plays, it's either the 2nd and 34 yd play to evans to get to the one-inch line, or the speight-pepper-speight-darboh 40 yarder.  

not-so-hot take:  i have an idea on what we're going to do to ohio in 3 weeks to break tendency....we're going to tempo them, big time.
