but I thought that AF got away with a lot of holding. A few nice tackles by their O.
On offense, we were the classic example of 10 guys doing their jobs and one blowing up the play. Speight made a few bad throws, but had one pass on the money that was dropped. Missed blocking assignments that had AF in the backfield lickety-split.
Thought our backs, including Isaac, were tentative. On third and one, Isaac had a crease that he had to hit hard to get the first down, but he hesitated and tried to go to the outside where they were waiting for him. The quick hand off to Hill is money on those short yardage situations. Wonder why we don't ever sneak our 6'6" 240lb. QB.
AF impressed me. Clearly outmanned, they played with incredible fire and discipline. There were no mistakes that we could capitalize on. #50 for them is a helluva player.
Not a reassuring afternoon for Michigan fans. But we should now have great focus at Purdue.
