Which is why I think we play him this time around and keep the game close. I don't see them blowing us out again this year.

Might as well make it a two-pher and put Semien on there as well.

Welp, the game has finally arrived. We get Michigan in our house, and a chance at revenge for the beat down we took last year. The winner of this game will most likely go on to win the Big 10 title. Predictions - Close game till the 4th quarter - We contain Robinson much better than last year, keeping him under 200 total yards. - Penalties and preparation are still an issue, and ruin multiple drives for our offense. - Burkhead does not play, we still don't see enough of Heard. - Our special teams will score a touchdown - We lose a close game in the end. What are you predictions for next week?

I have been nothing less that impressed with NU since we joined the B1G.

Do nothing until the season is over. Then we will talk.

Watch the game.... just watch... the game.

Can I ask why not? Northwestern had a terrible gameplan, that doesn't mean that Michigan won't expose us.

The point is I would like to see him actually coach over freak out and yell. Seems to me his time would be much better spent with some back and fourth chatter with the players to understand why they did what they did, and make sure they understand what needs to be fixed and how. I don't think that can happen as well by screaming in their face for 5 seconds.

LOL he's not getting a medical redshirt. Pretty sure Burkhead is going to be done for the year.

It is bizarre that he doesn't use Tmart's explosive speed more. Sooner or later he'll figure out we're not Kansas. I keep hearing people say what a great runner T-mart is. I think they see his speed and mistake that for him being a great runner. I think he is a terrible ball carrier with amazing vertical speed. This isn't necessarily a counter point to what you said, because I don't think you are calling Martinez a great runner. He does have explosive speed you are right about that. But the announcers are always saying how great he is on his feet but I think he is the worst offensive weapon we have on their feet. I would take Ameer, Bell, Burkhead, Enunwa, Reed, Turner etc etc on their feet before Taylor.

What do you expect him to do? High-five? Offer them a latte'? Back massage? Perhaps some 'coaching' would be in order? There are ways to help people get better other than screaming in their face.

I think we have the best receiving crew that we have ever hard. Enunwa, Bell and Turner are flat out fantastic.

1. T-Mart has outplayed Beck's terrible play calling yet again. 2. Bo needs to learn to coach on the sideline, instead of just screaming at refs and players. 3. Our secondary is finally finding their identity. PHYSICAL ASS FOOTBALL 4. This team lacks discipline in almost every aspect of the game, but mostly from our coaching staff. 5. Burkhead is most likely our for the rest of the year, sad to lose him but thank god for our depth. 6. Beck went to the designed QB draw 7-8 times and it netted maybe 20 yards total, yet we didn't one run quick pass or screen the entire game. I would love an in depth reason as to why he decided to do this.

Winning the game doesn't change the fact that the coaches do not have a hold of this team. We lack disciplin in every aspect of the game.

I haven't seen any coaching on the sideline on Pelini's part all game. It's spent either yelling at players, refs or standing their looking clueless.

He has officially lost this team.

Welcome to the hotseat. One game of errors like this you can blame the players. 4 years of errors like this, you have to blame the staff.

Beck calls the worst plays on 3rd down possible. Thats the 4th REALLY bad 3rd down call.

Good lord there are some stupid posts in here. I'm glad I don't normally check this stuff during games.

How are those two statements connected in any way?

Did.... did he just STEP FORWARD in the pocket? WTF is going on...

Let it be by the code,

Under - I think Ameer gets a bulk of the carries. I will say 68yds for Rex. O/U: 3 - The number of time's we get burnt on a deep route without a deep safety

People will look at each week as the breaking point for the season from here on out.
