What did we learn? Mich St version

Princewill not playing probably hurt the defense some.  Conservative return game hurt and an offense with a guy who should be playing TE was bound to be a disaster.

 
We should have never have won this game. Just being in it for a low percentage win possibility as the clock expired is pure coaching magic. 

 
We don't have a QB.

We lost the LOS

D can't carry this team unless they can score, because our O is that bad.

We are playing offense with a mostly JV looking squad.  

 
Big Ten refs are bad.  Add on to this the personal foul called on Michigan State when Haarberg slid late.


 
Haarberg with some seriously terrible numbers passing the ball. 42% completion and 2 INT's.

Alante Brown's pass was one of the key plays of the game.

Satterfield went away from the run a bit in the first half when it was working, that was frustrating. But ultimately Haarberg just threw the ball into coverage, overthrew guys, and just played bad for pretty much four straight quarters.

Now also our defense didn't have the kind of game they'd had in the past three. Michigan State probably came into that game as the best 2-6 team in the country. Not that that's saying very much, but at least their QB had some skill.

Offense:

-HH has really stepped up and I admire his grit, but he’s just not very good.  This team is an average QB from winning the west.

-They have to get yards on first down.  2nd & 3rd and long seem near impossible at this point.

Defense:

-Seemed to struggle with pressure today, but still played well enough to win.  They can’t carry the team every week.

Special Teams:

-They are going to have to figure out something on punt returns.

General:

Field position and a poor offense is killing this team.  If they could even move the ball just a little bit Alvano could get a chance at a FG.  We cant even do that.

i will admit rhule is a good coach if this team makes a bowl game because we are really bad.
People, in general, have overlooked how bad we’ve played in our B1G wins.

We get any offense whatsoever we’re good.  I’m pleased with the job Rhule is doing.  It’s going to take time.
