MichiganDad3 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 5 hours ago, VectorVictor said: A few points of order re: recent discussions: -1997 UCF has Dante Culpepper, who was a human highlight reel in college. That UCF team was a salty team that had some close scrapes with big opponents IIRC. -2009 Texas was a screw job by the officials with questionable penalties to help on the final two drives. The defense stopped UT in regulation play. -2009 VT (like UT, sadly) was more about our inept offense. Defense did more than enough to win, and it’s unfortunate that play happened the way it did. Both teams had Blackshirts and deservedly so. There should be blackshirts handed out after last week—let’s not forget Colorado does have two of the best WRs in the country (one could already play Sunday if he wished) and a polished QB. I think our boys played admirably and some, especially up front, deserve recognition. I was very impressed with the Colorado QB. We were killing him. Seven sacks is enough to get into a QB's head, but some of those sacks were very hard hits. That QB put some long passes right on the money. 1 Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Front seven, for sure. And I'm not sure how many of those 7 sacks might have been "coverage sacks" that the secondary deserves some of the credit for. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It's high time we get over the Blackshirt 'standard' so we can stop with the inane, redundant debates year in and year out that started largely because of some really bad mid-2000's defenses. From my perspective, the fact that they got handed out after a loss is fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Frost just said he wants 50 guys to have Blackshirts. Said it's not just for starters, it's for everyone who's playing well. Interesting. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I don't really care, but I felt like Davis should've probably earned one. It seemed like he was playing with an edge never seen before. Couple huge sacks and some key pressures IIIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pushing buttons means that they expect a little more than what they are gettting (or to prove it week in/week out). Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I absolutely loved this play when I saw it and it's one of the reasons why he has a blackshirt right now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

For instance, 'impact migraine' spiked when Lee got hurt but it only spiked in Nebraska. No surprise. Let's see what 'penis envy' give us on the regional breakdown: Wow! Colorado leads, followed by two of our upcoming opponents, Michigan and Wisconsin. Indiana must be looking ahead to next fall as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Chinander said there were more than seven guys who's play on Saturday deserved Blackshirts but the others hadn't done everything they needed to do - practice, classroom, etc. - to earn one. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Aaron Williams got a Blackshirt. Eight have been awarded. Quote Link to comment
