Whew! That was too close for comfort. What a great kick. NUUUUUUUGE!!!!
Very disappointed in the play of the defense, and the post game comments of our defensive coordinator are not comforting. The players and the coaches said that Marshall kept running the same play (it sure looked like the same play on tv, though I'm no expert). Snyder says, "I couldn't see it" or something to that effect. Well, get your ass to the coaches box and off the sideline. We're going to miss Dantonio, he seems to have been the brains behind our awesome defenses of the past few years. I hate to see our beloved Bucks get run on like that, very depressing. In fact, I was reprimanded repeatedly by my wife and mother for continued use of very foul language, words I doubt most would use in front of their mother (rhymes with Bucks, coincidentally. Call me a Cheneyite). The signature of the defense over Dantonio's tenure was the second half adjustments. We really used to dominate folks. Didn't happen on Saturday. Plus, the loss of Dustin Fox is going to hurt us, especially against pass happy teams (Purdue?!?). I know we have a lot of talent in the secondary, but losing a 4 year starter and senior depletes the leadership on an already young defense.
What an offensive show in the first half. Footballs haven't flown around like that in Ohio Stadium in a long time! I'm really starting to like Zwick. He has all the throws and seems to be very poised. Needs to make better reads and stop locking in on Santonio Holmes. We have many talented receivers, Justin, use them all. Also, just because Ginn is in the game doesn't mean you HAVE to throw to him.
Where's the run game? Do we miss the fullback that much? Let's hope Brandon Joe gets healthy soon. I like Lydell, but he's not getting the job done. Why didn't we see any other backs on Saturday? Would like to have seen more of Pittman, and even Haw. Can't live on the pass alone, we have to do more to establish the run. Just not sure what it is.
Can't somebody else return punts? Don't want to see Santonio get hurt back there. Get somebody else to do it.
We still have a long way to go this season. I'm really nervous about this NC State game. They had the week off and will have examined our tendencies. It's going to take this teams best game to win, hope their up to it.
Go Bucks!
