After the game he actually mentioned that he missed the sweet spot when he made contact witht he ball on the 55 yarder.

He said in a post game interview that he missed the sweet spot of the ball, and that 63 is his longest in practice.

To miss good contact and still make a 55 yarder. He'll be a difference maker this year in games. Nice to know you've got him in your back pocket. Kickoff guy is solid. Punter...from his first punt I can say at least he looked like he had good form and follow-through?

In the post-game interview he said he missed the sweet spot on the ball on that kick and that he had hit from 60 during practice

Every little inch counts, right!!

but I almost feel like Nordin could afford to take some of that out. His kicks absolutely tower.

who will be working on Sundays in the future. For a first game as a starter, it was a great performance. The misses are inconsequential. He's only going to get better as the season goes on too. The jury is still out on our punting, but this first game was hard to gauge on that front.

It was concerning to see Speight toss those back to back pick sixes, even if the first one did go through Crawford's hands. I'm not as optimistic as I was heading into the season. D looks like they should, and much faster it seems than last year but the offense did not look good to me at all. Save for a couple plays they don't look like the kind of team that can keep pace with PSU or OSU at all. 9-3 team unless the OL and Speight take some big steps forward.

Turf monster took 4 before the refs had the chance

i think he is referring the the bad call on Khalid Hill for ineligible down field on the TD that was called back.

if Evans doesn't fall over, we never get to that play. Looked like he would have scored.
September 4th, 2017 at 11:18 AM ^
We did get seven points from our defense, and a couple of field goals off short-ish fields. So it was more like 20-odd offensive points. (OTOH, we got jobbed out of four points by the officials on our first possession.)
September 4th, 2017 at 11:24 AM ^
Either that or Chuck Norris snipered Evans.
September 4th, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
The D will only get better. If we can get a consistent running game and less mistakes from Speight or whoever the QB is the sky is the limit. Noone on the schedule is unbeatable with this Don Brown defense.
September 4th, 2017 at 11:57 AM ^
The OFFENSE put up only 26. Speight missed several wide open receivers and cost us 14 points on those pick sixes. That type of performance won't cut it in Happy Valley, Madison or when OSU comes to town.
September 4th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
Yet it was more than enough to beat back-to-back SEC East Champions Florida.
Cool.

September 4th, 2017 at 4:07 PM ^
The offense only put up 26? ONLY 26? So your bar is what, 27?

I do not think PSU's defense is all that great. But their offense is high powered, meaning we'd likely need a 30+ point performance to beat them on the road. It doesn't look like this offense is capable of a shootout.
September 4th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
I'm not so sure that Penn State can score 30+ on this defense. I understand your concerns 9and share them), but not because I think Michigan will need to win any shootouts.

I came in thinking this was a 9-3 team (lose to PSU, Wiscy and OSU). I also came in thinking Speight would be better, not tossing two pick sixes on back to back throws.
11-25 for 181 and 1-2 was not what I was expecting from Speight. I didn't think he'd have 300 yards but a 44% pass completion is not ideal for a 2nd year starter.

Michigan won more in spite of Sp8 than because of him.He is looking more like an unpredictable variable, than a slightly above average game manager.
I think it's always about 50/50 myself. 2 pic 6s are awful, but a couple throws were money & he moves well..
Overthrew Crawford, but had the awareness to check in to that play in the 1st place. etc. etc.
