And MSU is tied with PSU. Big Ten keeping themselves out of the playoff, unless you think Wisco is good.

Just watched USD blow a lead at UNI. We made Streveler look good, though his leg was banged up today.

I looking forward to the young Hawks taking another step forward with their second road win. UND DL needs to be exceptional today to help the DB's. The passing game needs to open up the running game. I looking for a couple of well timed screen passes.
I assume the "well timed screen passes" will come from SUU. The Hawks don't do that.
IF the DL does not get to the QB, our secondary is going to have a long day. Looking for Canady to step up.

I had been planning this trip since the schedule come out. Days like this happen . . . and things could be worse.
So sorry. That sucks, but you have the right attitude-things could be worse.

In our system, we have very little allowable wiggle room for QBs to audible to what they want, or to what many of us consider, "working plays" against 8-9 man fronts. I heard Zim pushed the envelope. Just watching the game being called with Zim in you could see it for yourself.
Not only do I recall seeing what looked like Z changing the play, but I was HAPPY he did!

Good stuff. I think these guys may read this forum. Seemed to address some of the issues raised here.

I think everyone loves Studs' grit and leadership. He's playing hurt a lot of the time and I'm sure his teammates appreciate that. He's a great Senior.
But he does not throw a great long ball. Is it possible the O coordinator knows that and hasn't "opened up the offense" especially when the HC wants a ground control, manage the clock type of O that can go on long drives (not quick hitters) and give his vaunted D a rest.
Not defending the whole predictability of the O, but I bet when Z or another QB with long ball capabilities takes over, the play book will reveal it and it opens up the running game. Why not stack the box when you know the QB isn't a bomber? Next year McKinney, Greibel, Izzy could be forces. Would love to see what Cloyd do and really no excuse for not using him more now though he is not blessed with blazing speed.

But to answer your question, I am more of a fan of Jimmy Johnson's or Bill Cower's coaching style. Remember I'm old school. I've witnessed cussing and fights between coaches and players in the locker room and at practice but come game day, its all love. I had coaches so worked up they actually have spit flying in your face, because they want you to knocked the dog piss out of your opponent. I loved that stuff.
It's been noted, but Bud Grant, Tom Landry were old school and stoic; I guess it just depends on what you're looking for.

I said I would like to see more passion from Bubba and the coaches during games. I like fiery coaches and level-headed and collected players, but that's not everyone's perspective and I respect that.
Do you see Belichick as fiery? I think he looks stoic.
A story: He's coaching the Pro Bowl. Opening KO and Tony Gonzalez is on the KO return team. It's the Pro Bowl so Tony isn't really into it and misses a block. His guy makes the tackle. He gets to the sideline and passes Belichick who says, "Nice F'ing block."
He can't believe it. It's the Pro Bowl. C'mon, gimme a break. He's pis#ed.
Next KO and he just nails his guy; flattens him. Heads to the sideline right to Belichick and he gets nothing. He's almost out of earshot and hears, "Nice block."
That's not fiery coaching, but it's highly effective coaching.

Was it amusing or was it disheartening listening to the home commentators, the one that played RB at Notre Dame wondering about 2 things? 1) where is the screen for UND 2) should find away to have Santiago and Brady on the field at the same time.
He also said UND should have all 3 of its RB's on the field at the same time. Get your best players on the field!

I still feel the Heidelbaugh decision is more on Bubba than Rudy. The HC may delegate positional depth charts, but he has veto power especially at QB. I don't think any HC is giving someone else the power to choose the starting QB and I don't think Bubba can avoid the blame on this one.
I won't mind seeing Rudy go, but yesterday near the goal line, he made two calls for runs. On the one JJ got the ball, but the NG beat his man and nailed him. Literally, the rest of the blocks were made and if that one is too, JJ is in. On the other, Geaux pointed it out, that if Santiago shifts to his right, he has a TD. So we settle for 3 but could have had 6 if there was better execution. I didn't hear anyone complain about the call on Studs' INT in the end zone. It was a good call; he mixed up the plays and I think Studs, as he did all game, was behind the WR.
That said, the bigger issue for me is, if the QB sees 9-10 in the box, let the QB audible out of it. Shift players around so the D has to spread. That's on Rudy.

Zimmerman throws the deep ball pretty well
YES, yes, a thousand times YES!!

PSU D isn't that good either. Studs was short on many passes (as Geaux noted) and if we hit on those, it's even more of a blowout.

Well that's great. Flowers will likely be out next week now right?
QB slid late. and then angled the other way.

Oliveira with a head of steam is really tough.

Blair's been in a lot. Geaux, thoughts on him?

JJ with a nice run.
ANd then he's out of the game.

Someone doesn't like Hunt, but he's an All Pro compared to Blubaugh, right now.

This QB gets the ball out fast. No rush and weak corners equals a burned D

Canady.
Young guys are making plays.

Looking good too. His WR dropped a sure catch too.
That's a pass.

They just pushed us around on that one. Great effort on their part. Did I miss Turner? Is he out there?
