He’s been terrible. The best pass came from a RB. The other touchdown came when he was on the bench.I think Michigan has this, but McNamara’s play is disconcerting. He will have to be much better vs Georgia (that’s my prediction)

It seemed a very straightforward targeting to me. Not malicious but still one that I’ve seen called plenty of times against us, especially since it was against a QB. Head down tackle, crown of helmet hitting QB’s facemask. Iowa is not going to get many calls today with a playoff spot at stake.I was listening to the Michigan radio call (on THE VARSITY NETWORK app) during the review. Wolverines color man Dan Dierdorf (!) was straight outraged that this was even considered to be a targeting call, and then it seems he was even more outraged even after the call went in Michigan’s favor. We even got an aside about “well we know how the game’s going” criticism of the existence of the targeting rules.
I figured it looked different to more objective eyes.
(As an aside, I think that targeting is generally applied consistently and fairly, and that enforcement has gotten more efficient over time. It’s made football better.)
I hope FItz and Bajakian are watching the Big Ten Championship game so that they can watch and learn about these wide open, creative, modern offenses that I hear we so desperately need to win the Big Ten Championship. I am sure they are taking notes like I am !
Those dynamic offenses lead me to watch Leinster v Connaught replay rather than the second half.I hope FItz and Bajakian are watching the Big Ten Championship game so that they can watch and learn about these wide open, creative, modern offenses that I hear we so desperately need to win the Big Ten Championship.

Should have watched Polar, which is back on Netflix. Nothing beats Mads Mikkelsen saying very little and killing bad guys.Those dynamic offenses lead me to watch Leinster v Connaught replay rather than the second half.
How about the fake slide that led to a 58 yard TD for Pitt? Pretty brilliant & athletic.I hope they watched the ACC Championship game for some offensive ideas.
Had it happened in the second half and been called targeting would it carry over to the first half of the bowl game? I am guessing no exception would be made just because the next game is a post season game.That is crazy no foul for targeting.
Holy Shit you are right. It seemed like an eternity to get back to the game. The last two or three breaks seemed like over 10 minutes if not a tad more.My god…. does anyone show more commercials than a FOX college football game?? Ridiculous.
Thing is Michigan has a five star line that weighs about 150 lbs more than ours, so they can afford to do what they want. My uncle had that same thing going for him at OSU. He usually had at least one All American and a couple all BIG offensive line men to block for the tanks he had for tailbacks(Spencer and Byars). I know you are joking, but until Fitz and co raise the bar with recruits, we are screwed. Our boy Hull is average until he has a decent line. Porter will fare better, but not enough to win against the better teams. We need a QB real bad. The continuity of the program is at stake. It is pretty hard to really come up with a game plan when nothing works. That is where we are at now. Fitz has to quit trying to fit square pegs into round holes and come up with a system that works with what he has. Going toe to toe with a much larger, faster opponent isn't a good strategy if you are severely outgunned.I hope FItz and Bajakian are watching the Big Ten Championship game so that they can watch and learn about these wide open, creative, modern offenses that I hear we so desperately need to win the Big Ten Championship.

The undersized Utah State Aggies did quite well in their Mountain West Championship game Saturday against the much bigger and more physical San Diego State players. Might be worth a look at that tape. Final score was Utah State 46, San Diego State 13.Thing is Michigan has a five star line that weighs about 150 lbs more than ours, so they can afford to do what they want.

i think you know I couldn’t care less about recruiting rankings. They mean very little. They have a much better team than we do this year. What I do know is that Wake Forest would gladly switch places with NU when it comes to football program achievements over the last ten years.
