OSU Snowflakes: Coaching / Special Teams

Only complaint was I would have liked to see a little bit bolder playcall on that last 3rd and 6, because getting the ball up 3 with like 7 minutes left and never giving it back would have been absolute peak Boa Constrictor.

Thank the Lord, and good for Sherrone, all the coaches and the team.  What a phenomenal win.

I'm ready to have Harbaugh back, and for him to stay for a thousand years, this program is just incredible.

Lot's of credit due to a coaching staff that has had this Michigan team play with the poise it has all year.  Coach Hart called the team out to the field to salute Zak when he went down.   They seemed to rally on that.  Gutsy 4 & 1 call to have The Don pass to Loveland.  Also, James Turner has not had a pressure field goal all year and he goes 3 for 3 today including from 51.   To do what this team did without Harbaugh on the sidelines for the last 3 games and the 2 toughest games of the year is an amazing testament to everyone involved.  Go Blue !

I loved the aggressive play calling. And that made the third and 6 run call with a minute left baffling. Definitely should have been a pass with an option for McCarthy to run, so your QB can deliver the dagger.

nice call on the HB pass

smart call to take field goal at end

got the W

Does Ryan Day losing to Michigan 3 straight times count as hitting a triple?

Just a ho hum win over #2 undefeated Ohio State. So weird. 

Crazy how quickly things changed in this rivalry. 

I have zero complaints. I don't care about anything except for glorious W #1,001. Buckeye tears taste just like the champagne I'm drinking. 

Heck of a game by the Wolverines, Moore got a bit conservative at times but broke out the good stuff late when it counted. 
 

Proud to be a Wolverines fan today to see this team and staff overcome the absolute hurricane of distractions and adversity that has hit the program. To keep these guys focused when you lose your head coach and lose your best offensive lineman…legendary stuff.

Also for as much as I dislike Ryan Day for the PI thing, kudos to him heading up the tunnel to speak to Zinter’s family. 

I wandered into the game thread in 3Q. Glad I quickly wandered out. Go Blue!!

Hey, I did my part prior to JJ leading them down for that last field goal. I went out of the room till the end of the game and the final kneel down is all I saw. Karma baby!

Not sure where else to put this question - 

Why did OSU get to take a "practice kick" on the attempted long field goal? Is that allowed? I don't recall seeing that before. 

James Turner is my player of the game. CLUTCH.

What's the game theory about running 3 times up the middle before the final field goal? Is the idea that OSU's chances of a touchdown were lower than our chances of a turnover if we had tried a pass or a QB run?

Brian Hartline called for violence against us from the fans at the "skull session" last year. Fuck Ohio State! Rub it in every day for the next year. 

I was ecstatic at the halfback pass, despondent with the final set of offensive downs, and then exhilarated by the outcome.

As a fat, drunk middle aged man in my lay-z-boy, it was was quite the rollercoaster of emotions. I can't imagine what it was like for Sherrone on the sidelines and Jim watching from home.

Day going for the FG instead taking a shot at the end zone at the end of the first half is exactly what everyone means when they call this team soft. He was playing scared and it showed. 

turner and doman have been HUGE this year.  we’ve had years where the kicking game was iffy, but it’s been a while.  all hail coach jay.

Thank you Sherrone Moore 

After reviewing the post game interviews, these coaches are special. Builders of men. The warriors on the field are developed by leaders of men. Tip of the cap.

Elated. 

I legit thought Moore had at least as good or a better day than 3b. 

Two big head scratchers stood out with Day. Sitting on the clock with a time out in hand, over 30 seconds left in the first half. Content with a very long field goal try. When his O had good momentum. Could have gotten closer or taken a crack at the end zone witn those receivers. 

And then 2nd half, first drive after their first touchdown drive where they owned the LOS pretty soundly: went pitch to the short side on first down. Slow developing play that basically blew up their drive and condemned it to a three and out. 

Man you keep running quick hitting stuff the way their line was blocking on the previous drive. 

Overthinking it. 

Immediately after Loveland left the game for the bloody nose I was thinking "throw immediately to Barner"

Brilliant playcall by Moore and team to catch them napping.

My HAWT TAKE:

Donovan Edwards has Wally Pipp’ed Kalel Mullings as the RB/QB 

Monkey is officially off our back. Go Blue!

Ryan Day is exactly who we thought he is.

He can scheme up an offense and move the ball between the 20's.

He can recruit offensive skill guys and put them in a position to do well.

But when his back is to the wall and his manhood is questioned, he snitches and calls out a doddering 86-year old has-been with a >1 spit-to-syllable ratio.

He's soft as baby doodoo and it affects his team.  

You know what tough is? Learning you head coach is suspended during a flight 12 hours before the biggest game of the season and grinding out a win when the fans 100 ft away are louder than JJ right behind you.  Tough is learning your LB coach did a bad thing the day before the next game and powering through when the offense and defense are both having their worst days out the season.  Tough is seeing your captain and arguably the team's best player bend his leg and then scoring the winning TD on the next play to reassure your squad that they've got this.

Eat shit, 3rd base.

My snowflake is, FUCK OHIO.  FUCK RYAN DAY.

I told my son before the half, that missed FG was going to be huge and it was 

Karma? Sherrone Moore reeled it in, fed it to his players, and used it to smite Ohio State.

Karma beats hubris every time.

Sherrone held this crowd together.  Props to him and all of the many other leaders on this team.  

Running it on 3rd and 6 and settling for a FG to go up 6. I did not agree with that. I thought they should have tried a pass for a 1st down and the win.
