OFFENSE DEFENSE

The defense again demands to be addressed first. Q: calling their shot on yards allowed? A: you cannot summarily dismiss that.

Sad Ghost Rudock may have returned against Maryland, along with backs-who-ignore-wide-open-lanes, but on the plus side if helmet stickers are any indication, the offense has covered itself in glory this season. They started running out of room on their helmets before the B1G schedule even started. (Unlike the defense, step up your sticker game, defense, seriously)

Its hard to know what you have reciever-wise when you struggle to read the whole field and can't stretch the defense.  Outside of the first game and a screen pass last week they can't even get the ball to Jake Butt on a consistent basis.

Man, the dwelling is hard to listen to. The points about Hoke's recruiting are correct and, in some respects, unavoidable in the discussion. But to listen to the time that Brian spends on it seems to indicate he thrives on all this retro-chastising.

I loved "The Failure" at the time and didn't agree with the criticism that you shouldn't dig up old bones. But the more of these podcasts I hear, the clearer it is that Brian is truly possessed by past frustrations.
