We, so tired of all the darkness in our lives, with no more angry words to say
[Eric Upchurch]
Things discussed:
- Penn State played a very good game; Michigan played an uncharacteristically bad one.
- Michigan was expecting the Barkley at QB thing; Gary just got too far upfield.
- Playing safeties at 15 yards is asking for run-pass-options in your face
- PSU hit their bombs; why can’t we chuck it to the 6’8” guy?
- Trace McSorley has been lucky previously; he was flat-out good in this one.
- Don’t put McCray on Dudes. Guys? Fine. Not dudes.
- Cornerbacks not tested after Long’s pick; played entire game in slots.
- Uncharacteristically Michigan lost one-on-one battles on the DL in this one
- Brian calls Craig Ed. Ed-Craig likens running quarterbacks to guerilla warfare. Ed-Craig listens to punk rock and opera. Joe Jackson narrowly edges out the 5th century BC’s Caíndelbáin al Óengusa of the Cholmain clan of the southern Ui Niall as the greatest musician in Ed-Craig’s 3,001 years on this planet.
- Devin Bush had a bad game.
- Brian is taller than Grant Perry.
- Can’t live without a passing game—safeties are 8 yards off the line of scrimmage.
- Peters won’t start but this is the game to get him on the field
- Jose says the defense has performed poorly in 10 of their 7 games.
- Personnel issues, not coaching issues.
- McCaffrey vs. Peters: Brandon has the golden arm, McCaffrey has to grow physically but has an edge as a runner and natural swagger.
- One-minute hoops takes.
