Mavric Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Chaz hasn't gotten to this play yet but I about had a melt-down watching it live. The OT is literally behind Nelson with his arm around his neck RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICIAL and there wasn't a flag. Unbelievable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Pretty surprised we haven't seen the triple mesh hooks combination much (at all?) this year. That was kind of our go-to last year and it worked pretty well. This is kind of similar. I think if he goes with the timing throw to the left we probably get the first down. Quote Link to comment

If the read was the top of the screen first and it looks like it is- then AM should have thrown it. Receiver was past the sticks and had a 4 yard cushion at the break. Protection was there early. 1 Quote Link to comment

That being said, if we can even be halfway between where we were previously and what we saw on Saturday, it'll be a huge difference. They did do a good job of getting Yant around the ankles. Their outside linebacker had a terrible fit on this play though. He kind of just runs into the back of his own D linemen for no reason. He should have plugged the gap. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 We did a pretty good job of holding the line but needed to get some freed up a little quicker. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Again, we don't get a sack but get good pressure. I didn't seen Domann get tackled until just now. I don't know what we have to do to get a holding call. Quote Link to comment

Heinrich probably gets held more than anyone on the team. Oklahoma had an egregious on right at the point of the run and MSU had a very similar one. This guy jumped on his back like he was a mule. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 It is a screen play but I don't think he's supposed to let Tannor by that easily. Another "pressure" that was close. Unbelievably good play by Henrich. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 So, now that we won a game in convincing fashion and there's zero controversy, can we talk about Big Ten refs not calling holding on our opponents without "ThE rEfS dIdN't MaKe Us LoSe" guy getting in a snit? 4 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't know what we have to do to get a holding call. In the direct sight line of the referee who is only a few yards away. BIG officials and their reluctance to call Offensive holding penalties when we are on defense- has been very consistent. Ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment

Got to give the big guys a chance to block for you- which he did'nt. Nice play by our unblocked defender in space. Excellent burst and angle. Quote Link to comment
