Major chinks in Harbaugh's armor. MSU coaching blunder now that 4th down..

[maelfan]

with this piss poor offensive line was ridiculous. Punt the ball. Take the lead at half. Regroup. Get the ball in the 3rd quarter.

Team is not ready to play. This offense, fluke play or two or not has no business getting over 250 per game let alone the half.

What was the MSU coaching blunder, you jackass? The punter dropping the ball? That's on Harbaugh?

Do you want to fire Harbaugh now?

Major chinks? Jesus Christ, who do you think that Michigan could hire who is a better coach?

The MSU blunder was his decision not to run a punt protect. Left MSU with huge man advantage on the rush.

How do you protect a punter who drops the friggin snap and then decides to kick the ball?

Ok. Look...if UM was in pass protect on that punt...maybe there is one other guy to play for a catastrophe but again the drop was on the right side. Look...O'Neill dropped the ball. Just bad timing and MSU won and UM deserved to lose. Had nothing...I mean nothing to do with coaching.

I would have done the same thing against Minny. Punt at the 37+10...vs. you could get points yourself. Punting would be Lloyd Ball. Playing not to lose. Got lucky on the pass (Minny) and I'd would have definitely gone for it there...worth the risk. Play to win..score some more points because you are only up the 1 pt.

I'll be honest with the OP...I don't get the logic. Makes no sense. I'll be critical of a coaching decision when justified.

Minny is playing to win. Riverboat gambling. UM brought the blitz.

Minny is using every pass play they have in their arsenal.

To the poster on another thread...think Minny would have gone for it on 4th and 6 tonight? at the 37? Yep.

If he catches the ball he punts it away. There is no question about that. It was a fluke.

I know, it wasn't blocked in the traditional sense people. O'Neill should have eaten the ball when he dropped it. Do people think he really should have tried to punt it anyway, and the thing that went wrong was the coverage? Wow, that is nuts.
