Interesting topic I heard on the postgame show last night. Thought I would check here and see what the consensus is.

I know for sure what I'm doing if I'm Bo come Monday.

 
I would show it to the team. Show how close they were to being undefeated. Show how Michigan State was dominated our O-Line and challenge them and question their pride? Tell them to earn their respect.

We can learn a lot from this game all around.

I'd also give respect to MSU. They were the better team and the class of the Big Ten right now, but we aren't that far away.

 
There are a lot of opportunities for teaching moments from that game. Armstrong missed some wide-open receivers when he seemed to pre-determine where he was going with the ball, for example. A lot of technique breakdowns along the offensive line, and so forth. If the coaches use it as a teaching instrument and not a "you guys sucked" tool, a lot of good can come from it.

 
Many times, a little sting to a person's ego pushes them to make improvements.

I would go through the film, collect everybody's screw ups, and give them copies. Tell the team that since it is a bye week, their assignment is to make a comment on each screw up as to how or why it happened and what they can do to avoid it next time Then have a position coach or coaches sit down with them as a unit and go through their answers.

Then the coaches can do the same with the media...
