Disagree with the Lausch hate. I actually see some nice physical tools that will shine when the game slows down for him. This season may be more downs than ups, but I think he has ability.
Bigger concern to me is I see no imagination in our play calling (honestly does anyone see a huge diff between McCall, Bajakian, and this right now?), and we seem content to turtle our way to a 48-10 loss and look for moral victories. Should be employing “David” strategies - pun intended - and maybe throwing some funk into our play selection out there to pique interest from higher caliber offensive recruits. There is 100% a punt in our future tonight on fourth and short when we are down four touchdowns inside enemy territory. Don’t see the value in that.
To me this is all the more reason to not run the usual stuff.There’s not much room for creativity when you’re down a starting RB, starting WR, and two starting OL.
D Line (and two of the linebackers, exactly two) are the only average or better parts of this teamD-Line keeping this game respectable
Laush good potential but not ready yetDisagree with the Lausch hate. I actually see some nice physical tools that will shine when the game slows down for him. This season may be more downs than ups, but I think he has ability.

Right, we can’t execute our basic offense so let’s start drawing up some shit in the dirt. Some of you guys need to retire your schoolyard playbooks.To me this is all the more reason to not run the usual stuff.
D-line will get tired after the 3rd quarter or even beforehand if the offense doesn't come alive somehow.D-Line keeping this game respectable
Guys like Thomas Gordon and AJ Henning, who have played tons of football, helping out their struggling but battling young QB by actually catching balls that get to their hands would help.There’s not much room for creativity when you’re down a starting RB, starting WR, and two starting OL.

You’d be singing a different tune if you saw the numbers I am putting up in my NCAA Xbox dynasty!!Right, we can’t execute our basic offense so let’s start drawing up some shit in the dirt. Some of you guys need to retire your schoolyard playbooks.
Yeah how did Calvin Johnson miss that last one. /sGuys like Thomas Gordon and AJ Henning, who have played tons of football, helping out their struggling but battling young QB by actually catching balls that get to their hands would help.
I’m not making excuses, there is a lot of blame to go around. The offensive line is held together by duct tape and it’s still probably the better part of the offense. Lausch is battling and still hasn’t made a bad mistake in 6 quarters but his consistency throwing isn’t there. The other skill players with Porter out are… uninspiring.Yeah how did Calvin Johnson miss that last one. /s
There is no excuse for this. We are on pace for less than 150 total yards. Way less than Easterm Michigan and Weber State.had against Wash.
Someone please explain. Why would you kick there? Why? I mean, yeah we miss Porter, but damn.
I liked it. 17-5 is a funnier score. Sneak up on ‘em.DOGSHIT decision to kick. Stupid. Loser ball.
Eastern Michigan played two quarterbacks today. Both are pretty decent. Both look better than our crew.Yeah how did Calvin Johnson miss that last one. /s

Even if a 25% chance you go for it, full stop.I like the call. I have zero confidence that they would have gotten this touchdown.
I’m with you on that one. I have my jokes already planned up! So does the def waive backfield, it looks like.I liked it. 17-5 is a funnier score. Sneak up on ‘em.
How many opportunities is this POS offense going to get, and one yard out? Every bit as stupid as the 3rd and 1 call in the Duke game.I don’t mind the kick. There’s a lot of time left in the game. I didn’t like the third down call running up the middle. I think you got to use Henning or Lausch and get them moving. But what do I know?

He’s not qualified to be a Big Ten head coach. His recruiting classes need to get better. The only good players on this team are a few Fitz holdovers.For me, Braun has another 3 years of free pass at minimum.
He not only held us together in the most difficult times but got us a nice bowl win.
I did not think that the dawgs were beatable for this deflated cats team today.
We can still make a bowl game this season.
What the hell is going on with my ponts!
This I agree.We really needed to beat Dook to have a reasonable shot at a bowl.
