The officiating cost us at least four points. How the first TD is not reviewed is unacceptable. How CBS didn't show the look until it went to commercial smacks of a little shenanigans. How our staff wasn't on top of it is unacceptable.
Wink is an enigma. Two games in a row, they have been abused on the first drive and settled in for some good ball for a few series. It's hard to judge him because the D is pretty banged up, but overall, I think he gets a D on the season. Third and long continues to be a crap show, and the tackling is below average. How many long drives did they give up today? A bunch.
Special teams played a huge part in this game. They got a turnover that helped get our first TD, and then they had the incredibly stupid penalty on the punt that kept the OR drive alive, eventually leading to points.
The offense is bizarre. Campbell appears to have no feel for the game right in front of him. This was not MSU. We needed to play solid, hard-nosed football, and instead, we got the circus. How many times did we lose yardage on first down? Why would you draw up a game plan that features running side to side against a speed defense? Why, when the chips are down, would you take the ball out of the hands of your best players?
Overall, our guys played very hard. I thought Davis was outstanding. More receivers were involved. Loveland was great. The O-line is what it is. The kicking game was solid.
The coaching was bad enough that the CBS TV crew was openly calling them out. The coaches didn't put the Wolverines in positions to succeed.
Tough to watch. Our guys deserved better.
