Good game offensively I think we are peaking at the right time.

Defensively ok...ok we held them to 13 points when the game really mattered. Our tackling was horrid though. We tackle like that against a quality bowl opponent we are going to look just how we looked in the last two bowl games.


Oh yeah Go Spartans!

Honestly, I wasn't sure about Pryor when he came in. I was pretty sure he was playing games with the media- milking the cow. A little through the season I started to realize I was wrong and the kid was actually trying to make an informed decision about his future. This also set it up so I hated his attitude coming in, cocky, and he hadn't proved [censored] yet. Now I look at him and the he runs things like a Pro, shows leadership, and his main goal appears to be winning. I couldn't ask for more especially with the on the field talent he has. Today he continues to show that, talking to the SENIORS and getting them refocused. I'm extremely proud of this team, and Pryor makes me even happier. I'm sitting here listening to Florida fans in my ear about how much he sucks and how over rated he is.

Fact is, they're afraid of the future. :oh:

Pretty much summarizes my post game views, but it got lost in the mix earlier. Wanted to be a douche and repost.

Also, the countdown heats up.

OrangeRoughy called this back in June...besides the Newsome comment and his early Pryor assessment, pretty good.

Again, we're not there yet. I foresee a 7-5 Champs Sports Bowl season for us this year.
- You guys lose 12-14 starters and we catch you in September when Pryor is still pretty green.
- Wisconsin loses 10-12 starters and their poor recruiting the last 3 years really catches up to them
- PSU loses 10+ starters and their poor recruiting the last 3 years really catches up to them.
- Michigan will be coming off their first losing season in a generation and will be starting Newsome at QB as a true freshman.
- Illinois will return 18 starters with Juice going into his senior season and Benn his last season before turning pro. 5-star Florida transfer Jarred Fayson will be eligible at WR. And most importantly, 14 of the 22 starters will be of the 4-star and 5-star variety. (when Zook took over, we had 3).

Good win in a tough spot.

Worst officiating I have seen all year.

I hate when the D goes home before the game is over and gives up a TD.

Someone give Dane a purple heart.

Let Michigan Week begin! Anyone for an early mirror lake swim? :biggrin:

A hit, a score, and a personal foul call in this game. He gets graded high on this performance. He's earned his scholarship this year.
