I'm still trying to understand the Durbin missed FG with 7:01 in the 4th quarter.

We had the ball at the 2 1/2 yard line. Cam is set-up for the snap just beyond the 10 yard line. Durbin hooks the kick left and misses. The game carries on without a TV break. When Michigan takes first snap of their drive, the officials have put the ball on the 20. I was and am still perplexed at how Michigan got 10 extra yards off the missed kick. Unless I've gone crazy, ball is spotted where Cam placed the ball. 10 yards isn't a ton, but Michigan shoulda been starting on their own 10 rather than getting extra breathing room.

I think any miss inside the 20 goes out to the 20. Any miss further than 20 is at the spot of the LOS.

Remember how a couple of calls didn't go our way against PSU, especially the no calls on holding, and that blatant PI call not called on that throw to James Clark?

Yeah we mentioned it but nobody pointed at those things as why we lost.
Difference between us and them. You would think that since UM is so used to losing, that they should have learned to lose with grace.

Guess not.

Similarly I was sitting next to a Bama fan and when Durban misssd the second field goal she says how we're gonna hate him and he's gonna get so many threats. And I said no, that's the difference between us and you.

I wanted to wait until tonight to savor the mgoblog podcast with a fine whiskey but I couldn't wait. I am listening to it now and it is glorious. They blame the loss completely on the officials and say things like "I hope those officials think about what they've done."

You know, I was thinking about the whining and have an idea. I think that PSU and Michigan are now so similar culturally that they should simply merge their resources like Indiana and Purdue sometimes do. So instead of Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) or Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) they could just have UMPSUAA and UMPSUSC.

To the victor goes the spoils. It was bad, or flat, across the board, because the officials (I think) had predetermined before kick off that they were going to let the kids play. Samuel was getting hooked by Peppers every play Peppers drew #4 in man coverage. Jabrill flat-out could not run with or cover Curtis. OL had free reign to hold on both sides. The face mask penalty on UM was legit. The unsportsmanlike conduct on Harbaugh was legit. The two PI calls (or the non-call) in OT were maybe iffy ... but the big one, the spot, is what it comes down to. We can parse angles and screen shots like it's the Zapruder film until the end of time and it'll be inconclusive because both fan bases believe the video proves what they already believe to be true, but if JT made the 15 or not it was by an inch. It was not an egregious thing like Alabama would get where JT was clearly down at the 16-and-a-half and the officials moved the ball.

Mostly, I'm just happy Durbin can live a peaceful life and that JT didn't butt-fumble when he hit Alexander.

JC is correct:

  • b. Unsuccessful field-goal attempt.
    • 1. When the ball is declared dead beyond the neutral zone and is untouched by Team B beyond the neutral zone, it belongs to Team B. Except in an extra period Team B will snap the ball at the previous spot unless the previous spot was between its 20-yard line and the goal line. In that case Team B will next snap the ball at its 20-yard line. The 20-yard-line snap shall be from midway between the hash marks unless Team B selects a different location on or between the hash marks before the ready-forplay signal. After the ready-for-play signal, the ball may be relocated after a charged team timeout, unless preceded by a Team A foul or offsetting fouls.

When I see Peppers with the ball I can't help but think that he should have been a running back all along and his talent was wasted with all the many positions they had him. His reads on defense and tackling are mediocre. He's a talented 'project'!
