Greg Mattison Appreciation Thread

Submitted by goblue16 on

Great coaching job and great preparation for this game.

160 yards passing!!!

54 yards rushing

6 sacks by Michigan!!!

Hackenberg was forced to throw all night and the secondary stood strong. Hes taken a lot of heat this season but he deserves credit for todays gameplan. GO BLUE!!

I get what you're saying, but doesn't the fact that we normally make meh quarterbacks look like heisman hopefuls mean that our defensive coordinator shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt just because we overmatched an offense with one of the worst OLs I've ever seen (which is saying something given what we've seen from our OL over the last several years).

What I'm suggesting is exactly what I wrote. I'm not going to appreciate a guy whose defense gave up 31 to Notre Dame and 404 passing yards to Gary Nova because he was able to shut down a team with one of the worst offensive lines in the country. Rutgers gave up 13 to Penn State too.

You are correct, I am unable to read. But I did glean from your post that you were referring to this game alone. I do not accept your point, Penn State is simply more like NTM and App State than Minn or Utah. I am not giving him credit because his defense has sucked against anything but the worst opponents.

Had no brain farts and shut out PSU in the second half. That's good no matter what. They made plays when they needed to. They didn't play down to their level of competition. Give them props. It was a good game for them. Just wish they would have shown that last week...

The best thing about the defense against PSU was they did not give up the big play. It's a lot harder to flip the field when you have to get 3 first downs in a row. IMO that was the key to the game.

Appreciating the guy that turned Gary Nova into a Heisman candidate? Good game Greg, as a reward I'll help you and Hoke pack.

I'll withhold any statements about Mattison's performance at Michigan for the sake of upholding the OP's intent. What I do hope is that last night's performance gives the defense confidence going forward.
