In Support of Brady's Two Point Call

Bad read by Gardner, the outside was wide open....

Had to go for two there, but do not like staying with the Dileo play after OSU called the timeout.

Perfect decision to go for 2.  Good play call before the TO.  Bad choice to stay with the same play/formation after OSU had a chance to prepare for it imo.

100% but not sure about the play call - should have at least released a backside TE in case nothing was open.

Biggest problem was probably keeping the same formation after the OSU TO.  You know the coaches told them to sit on the short route.  They did.  We lost.

 

Great game plan.. Played an outstanding game.. I LOVED going for two.. Nxt time, jump ball to funchess

There was no way they were stopping Hyde in OT. Try for the win there and keep it out of his hands.

You play to win the game. I didn't our chances to win in an OT shoot out, so I'll give Hoke props for going for it.

That was the right thing to do.  Michigan had shown no ability to stop OSU.  DG was hobbled.  Gibbons was out.  And how much more pixie dust did the offense have?  I love that Hoke went for it.

Loved it. Didn't even mind the play call. Offensive line did their job and gave Devin plenty of time, just a bad decision by him to throw into that much coverage. 

Sad it didn't go our way, but regained a lot of respect for Brady Hoke in that second half after the terrible decision to run out the clock in the first.

2-point conversions work 40-50% of the time. Our run defense had been so poor, we were probably less than 50-50 to win in OT.

All day long that was the right call.

Love the call

Damn

You can't line up in the same formation that you showed before they took a time out. That was my problem with the call.

98 had time- probably could have run it in

As well.

Unfortunately, throwing to a 5'7" guy into double coverage, not so much.

And:

RT @Dan_Gonzalez16: Don't understand route combination on Mich 2 pt try. One thing to expect zone but must be able to run away vs man/match

Overtime is at best a 50/50 proposition.  I like that he is rolling the dice without screwing around with overtime.  Huge game by Devin.  Let him try for a 3 yard throw with it all on the line.  

Before the play even started. Horrible and costly read...

Completely 100% in favor of it.

Gardner maybe could have bought a little more time but no complaints.  the future is bright.

We couldn't stop them, they couldn't stop us, go to OT and take your chances.

BUT:

Great game by this staff and these players. This outing did nothing to hurt our recruiting, and did worlds to give us all hope and good reason for optimism going forward.

The distance between us and Ohio is officially much less than anyone thought.

Gardner panicked a little bit. he had the conversion if he'd run or had gallon coming open behind Dileo. And they didn't change the bloody play after Ohio's timeout. Absolutely the right call though. Loved it.

Completely wrong play call for Borges. This team deserves better than him and I hope the coaches see past this game and fire him.

To go for it.. not the play call

I would have done the same thing. And I think that just showed why we should support Brady Hoke as our head coach. Will do whatever it takes to win. Hope this doesn't mean another year with Borges.
