Whenever there’s a big win
and I’m trying to get Everything in I thought was cool or tapped out notes to
myself on my phone to remember to put in to the MMQ, there’s always some stuff
I leave out or miss…
How Hard IS It To Defend
Michigan’s “New Defensive Look”?
Here’s the last play of
the game (HT: mgoblog.com). Watch this a
couple of times to see how Winnovich more or less gets through UF’s line
untouched.

Michigan is now deploying – dare I say this – a 3-3-5 look on defense (I know, I can’t bear to utter those words from the Rich Rod Era) that is in fact, a very dastardly look when trying to figure out who to block. It also helps Michigan is NOW executing this defensive set the way it should be executed. Ball is snapped. Gary picks up a double team, cause Gary. LB Singleton (8) starts dancing on the line making it appear that he’s going to blitz and then backs off, faking Florida guard (61) to bite on the fake and temporarily pull off the double on Gary. Winnovich’s man, the left tackle (73), for some unknown reason moves to the outside giving Winnovich a straight shot on Zaire. It’s truly a thing of beauty and it all works because Michigan’s LB core are all threatening to do…something.

Great play.
Injuries Suck….
Maryland lost their starting QB, Tyrell Pigrome, to an
ACL tear. It’s sad to see…Kasim Hill is
the freshman who will start against Towson next week.
True Freshmen Blackman will be the FSU
starter.
And Texas A&M also lost their starting QB for the
season….
Bama lost two starting linebackers
for the season, but Satan will simply fire “the cloning machine” back up and
have two new ones ready to go by Saturday.
LSU Has A Defense
I didn’t mention the
LSU – BYU game but it should be noted that LSU never let BYU across the
50 yard line. BYU is not a bad team, but
didn’t even get 100 yards of offense...
Which one could infer that LSU’s defense is pretty damn good…
But let’s wait and see
what happens when LSU plays an SEC West Team….
Jake Olson Gets His Moment
And in case you didn’t see
or hear about this:
Jake Olson is the kid that
lost his sight at age 11 and used USC as his motivation in life. Peter Carrol had him in the lockerroom and at
practices. Every coach after kept Jake
around and he’s now on the team as a long snapper. Helton called first year head coach Lester at
Western and asked if he allow Olson to snap.
Obviously, Lester said yes and the officials were also in on it.
Slappy Fan Grief Mid-Week Edition
Gatorland has a movement afoot to get McElwain canned after
the Michigan fiasco. Apparently, all the
usual stuff is up and running including a facebook page and twitter handle to
firemcelwain. What I don’t get is why
aren’t the fans getting on the team more?
Granted, McElwain’s O leaves a lot to be desired, but the kids still
have to execute.
Forgot to mention the “Classy”
Texas fans that started littering their own field with trash in the
middle of the 4th quarter.
Not a good look for the ShortHorn faithful. It’s going to take awhile and you simply have
to be patient and go for the ride…
To pile on the Aggies misery,
replays of the last TD with 43 tics left show that the UCLA receiver did NOT
HAVE POSESSION of the ball when he stepped out of bounds. There was no replay (weird – I thought all
scores in last minutes were reviewed? Is
that NFL only?) and UCLA tacked on the PA.
Case closed, game over…
East Carolina, in a
state that has two pretty good football teams, Clemson and South Carolina, sits
almost exactly in between those two schools in Greeneville. They fired alumni coach McNeil who had
beaten some big names during his tenure for what was supposed to be off the field
shenanigans. AD Compher hired Coach Montgomery and the program is slipping into
oblivion, including a loss to James Madison Saturday. It’s been rumored that AD’s will do stupid
things like that.
UNLV lost to Howard who was a 45 point underdog, making that the
largest loss in FBS history, against a Pointspread Dog. While that isn’t that unbelievable (often
times gambling houses won’t even post a line on say, FCS against Bama) it isn’t
as relevant as Michigan’s loss to App State as UNLV wasn’t ranked. But that doesn’t make the fans feel any
better…
Colorado and Colorado State
clashed in their annual meeting and C-State fans got out of hand when the 2nd
of 2 TD’s was called back for ticky-tack officiating calls. Fans started littering the field there, also,
in protest. Fast way to lose concessions
in the stadium.

And Then There’s Other Things You Should Know

CFP Championship halftime show.
Army scored 62 points on Saturday…And
NEVER COMPLETED A FORWARD PASS!!!
Cincinnati RB Mike Boone…Why
you say this? Why? WHY?
You’re a 34-point dog. Let your
talking happen on the field. I feel
sorry for you at this point, but not very sorry. Thank you for the motivation!
10 Years Ago…..This happened. Stanford
upset #2 USC (41 point favorite) led by now Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh.
