  1. CSU had occasional success running between the tackles. They just weren't able to exploit this consistently, in part because they couldn't threaten the Texas defense with downfield passing (all their completions were short routes) to loosen up the defense. Texas was more than willing to give up the occasional 6 yard run in order to do other things, like keep Tory Horton under wraps. Michigan should be a different story if for no other reason than power football is what they do. UM will get yards on the ground unless the interior D-line gets stouter than it was last Saturday. I didn't see the Texas transfer DTs do much at all against CSU. Norton only played a handful of snaps. And I don't recall either Lole or Savea having much of an impact. Maybe I need to watch the game again and focus on them, but I don't recall either of them doing much, including eating up blockers on a consistent basis. Broughton is kind of boom-or-bust. Still comes out of his stance too high, which can lead to a lack of leverage. But he's got nice burst and can be disruptive. He needs to be on the field on passing downs. Keeping Michigan out of short yardage situations on 2nd and 3rd down is the recipe for success, and it starts with the interior D-line being stout. Force that new, unproven Meatchicken QB to beat you. I think I would have preferred that UM beat Fresno handily as opposed to having a tight game because it kind of served as a wake up call to Michigan. I think their defense keeps them in it and it will be a tight game. Texas will win if it can keep the UM running attack in relative check.
  2. What's that green stuff on your plate and why is it there?
  3. True. Very true.
  4. Loved her reaction when that same guy said she had a great ass.
  5. Confirmation that JJ Watt is not an engineer.
  6. Yep. One of the more interesting (and unsurprising) aspects of reading that thread was that there was probably only one poster who recognized all the racism. Everyone else was pretty much either engaging in it or justifying it (or both). *SMH*
  7. Sark giving Arch some heat
  8. Very impressive, young man(ning).
  9. CSU has been able to run some between the tackles. Michigan will see that on tape.
  10. Best stat aside from score might be Horton (CSU WR who is really good) going 3 for only 16 and no scores. Kwiatkowski keeping a lid on that dude.
  11. Running on all 8 now, boys
  12. Will Howard currently 6-16 at QB for Ohio Snake. Bucs' offense has scored 10 vs. Akron so far, well into 2nd quarter. QB controversy coming in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . .
  13. Blue's hands are terrible
  14. Geez, at least look at it
  15. Now don't take a breather, defense. This is typically the situation in which the team starts to subconsciously ease up. Champions don't do that
  16. That's actually good coverage. Great pass, but dangerous.
  17. 10 completions to 8 receivers
  18. Gbenda shot like a missile. First time I've ever written that
  19. Mostly mental mistakes at this point. Not surprising for 1st game, but a little surprising re: who is making them. Get it cleaned up and we will roll.
