The sneaky play of the game .  Doman's punt from the 12.  Huge punt and then the penalty makes Penn State start on their 28.  

Could see it kill any momentum they had after the 3 and out on the goaline

In the 1st quarter, we realized they had one advantage, we adjusted and managed to exclude that one area from the rest of the game, and ground out the win. On the road. Against a top 10 team. And top 5 defense. Without our head coach. Beautiful! (If a little boring and with much gnashing of teeth)

The Buckeyes defeated PSU by 8 points at home.  Michigan defeated PSU by 9 on the road.

 A lot of comments about play selection.  

Michigan protected the ball today, and will leave Happy Valley with a win.  What else could you ask for?

Oh, a team / staff with an exceptional culture, desire, and Espirit de Corps.  I think that defines Michigan.

Go Blue!

What an unbelievable win for these kids. An attribute to the coaching staff, but the ultimate sign of what a great leader they have in Coach Harbaugh!!!
 

side note: I think Urbs was genuinely rattled by Charles Woodson during their post game show….

Very proud of the coaches, especially Coach Moore for keeping the team focused and blocking out all the crap.

Very proud of the players for playing good, sound, clean, smart football despite adversity.

Very proud of Coach Harbaugh for building a fucking juggernaut.

This is the best Michigan team I've ever seen.

Go Blue!

I missed the game today due to a emergency dental appointment, but I am confident in reiterating that we have the best group of coaches -- and the most rock solid groups of players, but this is the coaching thread -- in the country, and it's not close.

With all the noise and bullshit swirling around, and a process DESIGNED AND EXECUTED TO INFLICT THE MOST CHAOS, DISTRACTION, AND DISTRESS UPON THE MICHIGAN TEAM, our coaches (and players, of course) tuned everything out, stayed the course, and delivered a big FUCK YOU to the conference that is apparently hellbent on bringing down one of its two marquee members and meal tickets.

I love our coaches. I love our players. I hate our conference and especially the puppets -- complete with OSU's neanderthal hand up their collective asses -- "running" it. Fuck you, Big Ten, fuck you all the way off.

We're Michigan. Go Blue.

Our special teams played great.  A big part of the reason we could run the ball so much was confidence that our punting and coverage was going to be very good and no mistakes.

Didn't see this posted elsewhere .  Sorry if I missed it ...

When the refs picked up the flag on the running into the kicker, the PSU rusher effectively threw all of his momentum directly into our blocker , who redirected that force... 

This isn't my idea of what blocked into constitutes...
