Blatchford: I groaned when I saw you on the field and you made me look like an idiot with your play out there. I'm happy to say that I shouldn't have doubted you. You might not clock the fastest time in the 40, but it takes a tough kid to get flagged like you did in East Lansing, shake it off, and cover their monster target again at a crucial moment and make the play you did.

Turner in the corner was awesome. But without Blatchford in coverage we quite possibly may never have seen it. Keep it up. You see a crossing route coming your way this Friday, light that bird up.

And good Blackshirt choices. Our secondary is laughably good. And it's going to stay that way for awhile.

Wait till Rose, Brown, Alfalava, and Santos grow into their full frames. If McMullen and Valentine live up to what we're all hoping they will, maybe Peat rises, maybe Rome starts making noise hitting his Jr. year, we could be a legitimate shut down unit in the next few years. (And that happens at that DT spot sometimes...by that 3rd-4th year those kids suddenly get their full man strength and start blowing plays apart.)

I'm still not over the fact they declined those Blackshirts, then went out and earned them against the Wolverines. That's something I'll always remember about this season and this group of young men. Nails.

I have to give Blatch his props as well. I bagged on him all last year and thought the staff was kidding we he got the nod to start this year. He has proven me wrong. He plays with heart and intensity, something you can't recruit or teach. Props to Joseph as well, taking a group of guys and making them a huge threat and reason that we are sitting 9-2 and one game away from playing in the B1G.
