I couldn't be bothered to watch any more football after coming home from the Texas/West Virginia game, which is a shame because it looked like a lot of fun games happened. WVU played well in the first quarter and did a great job of holding on to that lead despite turnovers and a lot of opportunites by Texas to win. I like Charlie Strong as our head coach probably inexplicably given his record and the on-field product at times, and I hope this team can win out and maybe he can keep his job at 7-5 and a potential bowl win. Beating TCU would be nice in particular after two straight blowouts.

Kentucky rushed for 443 yards and lost, which is kind of impressive. While Xort was good yesterday, it's hard to say it was maximum chaos unless Kentucky could have beaten Tennessee and stayed in SEC East contention (though Florida's win ended that before this game was over). While it sucks, I think the loss to Georgia hurt more, I really think that was the more winnable game. So still no winning SEC record since 1977. Still, a win against winless Austin Peay will secure the first bowl since 2010, so that's the good news. Big Blue Nation travels, so I would think they'd be pretty attractive. I had heard Liberty Bowl reps have been to a few games already and are interested. In a way that might be the ideal destination since the basketball team plays at Ole Miss the night before. Honestly after 5 years without it's hard not to be happy about any bowl.

Marquis de Pyro posted:I poo poo on Speight all year and he's good, then last week I start talking about how actually he's good, and he instantly becomes trash. They should definitely give Wadley the ball more (especially in the passing game but they're kinda slowly figuring that out out of necessity), but Daniels is good too. He's had to run into stacked fronts all year and trucked multiple Michigan linebackers yesterday. Greg Davis gets and deserves all kinds of poo poo but he called a GREAT game yesterday. That sounds funny when you throw for like 60 yards, but that was mostly bad execution (Beathard missed multiple wide open guys either because he was rushing under pressure or just off, including on the INT where Smith roasted the safety by like two yard and then fell trying to come back to the underthrown) and Iowa having the worst receivers in the conference (and Michigan having a really good defense). The two point conversion was a gorgeous play that just got dropped. He did a good job getting Wadley the ball in space and the QB draw to set up the FG caught everyone by surprise. I still want to get rid of him but for at least one night he deserves some props

He's had to run into stacked fronts all year and trucked multiple Michigan linebackers yesterday. Well, I'm not saying that Daniels is 'bad', but he averaged 1.1 YPC less than Wadley, and it's been that much or worse against every decent team Iowa has played. I also imagine he would have been even less effective if Wadley hadn't spread Michigan's defense out to begin with. It was a good gameplan from Davis. I think most Michigan fans were highly confident because they assumed Iowa would just line up and run up the middle every play as they are prone to doing. Unfortunately, covering a shifty RB in space is by far Michigan's biggest weakness, and I'm sure Curtis Samuel won't take advantage of that...oh noooo

Daniels ypc gets dragged way down by being the dude they use in the most obvious run situations/formations. He's also had like 3 60+ yard runs called back by iffy penalties this year. Wadley is amazing and I wish they used him more but Daniels pounding people helps set him up. It's also probably not practical to give a 180 pound back 25+ carries a game

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Boatrower U is cool nah that was still wadley. The consecutive running into the kicker penalties were very funny but for all the crying some Michigan fans were/are doing about him flopping (which: he very obviously got run into both times and that's what they called) all we got out of it was a missed FG attempt. And the targetting (also the correct call btw) was after the play so Michigan still got the ball. His actual punting was really good all game though.

Texas loses an easily winnable game and squanders a great performance by the defense because our offensive coordinator forgets he isn't at Tulsa and his true freshman QB shouldn't be hucking the ball up 48 times with the nation's best RB lined up behind him.

For as miserable a season as Michigan State has had, that was a cathartic game. I still think our QB situation looks grim for next year, but even against Rutgers, a shutout was great and it looked like pretty much everyone did what they needed to do. I had the game on in the background while doing other stuff (for obvious reasons) but it looked like everyone was taking good routes and wrapping up on tackles which has not been happening at all this season.

It's entirely plausible that OU can make the playoffs somehow. 1. OU wins out 2. Michigan wins out (including the Big 10 championship) OR Penn State loses a game & Ohio State wins out 3. Washington drops another game 4. Louisville drops a game OR Clemson loses the ACC Championship

Auburn proved to the world that they were frauds, but at least a bunch of other schools also lost to take some of the attention away. Injuries hit Auburn really hard and the coaches are idiots for playing a QB who's biggest strength is being a really accurate passer when he has a hurt throwing shoulder. Apparently they don't trust Franklin at all. The freshman QB Woody Barrett just tweeted (and then deleted) something hinting he was going to play in the next game (and burn his redshirt).

With OSU and PSU left on the schedule we 100% would have ended the season on a 10 game losing streak.

The problem is he's our only serviceable RB who's not injured and no RB should be taking 50 carries a game. We're gonna break him doing that. I thought the game plan was mostly fine, just the execution was lacking. Way too many dropped passes, OL looked pretty bad, Shane looked like a true freshman at times. All around our worst offensive performance of the year, but attempting to employ a passing game was not the main issue.

Yeah bad effort there Hokies. All around, and GT deserved it, it wasn't as close as the score would have suggested. Still, as long as we beat UVA which I have every confidence in, we'll get to play in the ACC title game which is ahead of schedule for my expectations coming into the season (at the high end of possible I felt like) so it's hard to be too upset in the long run. And since so many other teams also suffered stupid painful losses yesterday, it makes it just a little bit easier to swallow.
