3rd and long

AM doesn’t make that play this year. Sorry for those who don’t want to hear it, but it’s true.

Mo isn’t the RB to play against these guys. Their arm tackles will work on him. Where is Mills who will attack them.

I think that might have been a catch and fumble.

Play action. I’m guessing Mo bit on the fake.

Carlos Davis with our best tackle of the year!!

Good defensive plan by Minnesota. They’re not going to let the new QB set up and have time. Getting after him aggressively.

If we can’t protect one on one.....put a fricking back in to help for God’s sake.

We’re going to have to let Vedralat least try, they’re loading it up front.

There have already been some things that could have been called, a hold, targeting, a pick on the TD, and a couple of plays that have been pretty late on the hits. Apparantly its cold and the officials want it over quickly, keeping the flags in their pockets.

#5. Always forget his name.

Well, I see we came out ready to play again.

Mo Barry overran it again.

OK, you win. AM is jut as good this year as last, he’s not “different” at all. I’ll put on my rose colored blindfold too, then we can agree from now on.

I think we’re going to have to try’s couple of deep passes just to try to loosen them up up front. They’re really attacking. If we’re going to run screens our OL has to at least get a piece of the DL.

That’s funny. But the reality is it was at least two or three games in before that was being said about AM. A pattern had been established. I realize you and I don’t agree on the seriousness of that “pattern”.

Thanks. Watching grandkids at that specific time so wasn’t watching closely enough to notice the details.

That does make sense. But Frost doesn’t strike me as the type to limit him too much. Butting also does kind of fit with the overall conservative scheme of the night.

How do you know he didn’t have any reads. He probably knows Frost’s offense and the playbook better than AM does. He shouldn’t have been simplifying it for him.

Buts it’s more senior and junior dominated than I anticipated. I really thought juniors and sophomores would make up the biggest number.

Someone in another thread had a different angle and said they did get a piece of it.

I said this in another thread but I’ll say it again. Put the QB under center until that snapping issue is corrected. Plus it eliminates the zone read (sorry, I just hate the zone read). Let AM read the defense while he takes his drop. With the ball already in his hands.

I didn’t see the PI on the Jackson pick, but did see a blatant hold. Our defender had hosmare outstretched holding onto a receiver’s jersey. It was bad. Big 10 officials are just plain bad. Watch them do a bowl game where sometime, it’s always ugly. At at least the poor call at the end of the game went our way this time.

That’s essential what I said. Vedral is still unknown and we have to go with who the coaches believe is best (even if some may disagree). But with one one of the two in fact being an unknown then there is no way to say it’s obvious (to a fan who has not in fact seen Vedral) who is better. And if he’s basing it off Vedral’s limited action yesterday it’s even more incorrect. Because neither was “obviously”better or worse than the other.

Just from what we’ve seen I don’t know how you can establish that. Just like those of us who have wanted for Vedral to get a series or two (but not because of an AM injury), he was (and really still is) an unknown commodity. We really don’t know which is the better QB, we just have to go with what the coaches decide. But nothing was obvious.

I’m guessing he realized with his inept offense it wouldn’t really matter if he had timeouts since the likelihood of them driving and scoring was minimal. So the best use was to try and get the kicker to miss and win in OT.
