  1. He was the DC before being promoted to head coach after Brian Kelly left for LSU. I don’t know how responsibilities are divided among the staff but you would think Marcus would be more tuned in to what’s going on with the defense than the offense. And in that situation there wasn’t any reason to be thinking ahead to another potential offensive possession anyway. Maybe his deal with Al Golden is that Al’s in charge and Marcus will keep his hands off. I don’t know. It’s just hard to understand how a defensive minded head coach could miss something like that, especially in the biggest game of his young career. You gotta figure he’s going to be more hands-on in the future. They’ve got USC coming to town in a few weeks and they can’t afford any more mistakes like that.
  2. Had some young dude walking toward me on the sidewalk awhile back with his head down, staring at his phone. I was on one side but he was walking straight down the middle. I waited for him to notice me until he was a few steps away and finally had to say, “Heads up!” to keep him from walking into me.
  3. When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather did. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.
  4. They’re actually trying to avoid one.
  5. Domers are going to be agonizing over that for decades.
  6. It’s 36.5. But that reminds me of the 2004 Iowa-PSU game which Iowa won 6-4 in State College. Penn State’s offense was particularly dreadful at that time but they still played solid D. Up 6-2 late in the game, Iowa faced a 4th down close to their own goal line. Rather than punt the ball and risk it getting blocked and returned for a score, Ferentz had his punter run out the back of the end zone and give up the safety. Then they could kick it off, safe in the knowledge that PSU could never drive the length of the field to score when even a FG would win the game.
  7. I really don’t care what bullshit Trump posts on fake Twitter. It’s like quoting a troll that isn’t even posting on this board. Okay it’s not “like” that. It’s exactly that. Hey! Look at the toxic sludge Trump fake tweeted today! No thanks, I’m good.
  8. I see PSU beat Iowa 31-0. That’s not helping Brian Ferentz’s ppg average.
  9. There are 3 new starters on the OL this year. Both tackles and the center.
  10. 31-9 is your final in E. Lansing. I’ll post video of that targeting call that was waved off if I can find it. That was outrageous.
  11. TD Maryland on 4th and 1 from outside the red zone. Fuck the refs for reversing that targeting call. 31-9. Sparty fumbles it right back at their own 21. Karma’s a bitch.
  12. Targeting. Malik Spencer should be gone. This is a coincidental call in the MD-MSU game. Wtf? They ruled it not targeting. Wait til you see this.
  13. Pick! Sparty was knocking on the door, picked off at about the 8 yd line, zigged and zagged all over the field, just fell down before he could reach the end zone. Turns out he stepped out at the MSU 19. Terps take over there.
  14. MSU TE Maliq Carr is 6’6” 260 lbs. Maryland can’t bring him down with just one defender.
  15. They’re trying to do that for themselves. It’s still a 2 score game but the MSU QB was hurt on that last fumble and the backup is coming in.
  16. FFS, Terps. Get the ball on the Spartan 32. The first down throw to the end zone is caught and dropped. Run for 3. Slip and fall on 3rd down for a loss of 1. Kick the FG. Stretches the lead to 24-9.
  17. Maryland’s punt coverage blows like four chances to down the ball inside the 1 and lets it roll into the end zone for a touchback. Now they forced a fumble but Spartans recover. Lucky break for the Terps on the MSU punt. They’ll take over inside the Spartan 40. Gotta score here. A TD probably puts it away. (In case you were wondering if I care that you don’t care about this game. No, I don’t care. I’m on a roll.)
  18. Run up the middle, run up the middle, overthrow under pressure on 3rd and 5. Punt back to MSU. That’s not how to protect a lead, Locksley. There’s 2:30 left in the 3rd.
  19. TD Spartans. It feels like if they can protect the football, they’re going to take this. They miss the 2 pt. conversion. 21-9 Terps.
  20. Tagovailoa throws to the wrong guy in the end zone and gets picked off.
  21. Mostly, though, the MSU D is looking solid in the 2nd half so far. If they get a score then they’re right back in the game. Terps miss the FG.
