So, Um, What Happened To Playing Tougher Football

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Alright, I want everyone to rewind their DVR's and watch Coker constantly fall forward and all the Iowa players for that matter do the same. And now watch all the players from Michigan hesitate time and again before a hit(and get clobbered) and not stick their fucking heads in there and give a hit instead of take one. Why is it these guys fold up on the road and play like scared frightened children leaving home for the first time? My god, Iowa was giving up 195yds per game on the ground. This team better start packing a lunch, or they're going to lose out. And another thing, do we blitz anymore? Holy fucking Shit!!!

I did notice our running backs were tippy toeing around Insteading of runnig straight downfield trying to move the sticks. It was annoying.

I don't know when they are going to play tougher football. I hope its just the RR recruits and the ones Hoke and CO are bringing in know the drill. Hit or be gone!

(Doubt It)

Are you guys serious. Fitz is like 30lbs lighter than him lol.

The guy is a 230lbs horse sophmore that's going to have about 1500yrds. I can't imagine how hoke couldn't stop him with a bunch of big east players..

i thought the D played well enough to win the game. Sure, Coker had some runs, but the D, also, did a nice job of stopping him quite a few times for little or no gains.

Same here. I mean the guy is bigger than most pro running backs. And our defense is undersized, it was pretty impossible to just shut him down.


But 24pts agaisnt iowa, 21pts agaisnt msu. The defense isn't the problem. Its denard and the offense. Everybody seems confused on how and what they want to do things.

The biggest reason a dual threat qb is so dangerous is because they can run after the play breaks down. But denard doesn't ever do it. He scrambles around to buy time and then throws it up for grabs. I don't know if he wants to prove he's not just a runningback or what. He needs to take off when the Wrs aren't open. Devin did, he didn't get anywhere lol, but he did it. Ill take a 1yr run instead of jump balls.

I don't ever remember a tiny guy named Mike Hart afraid to stick his head in there for the extra yard. I guess i'm just sick of the scared to get hit mentality that's been with this team for 4 years now. Remember when Mcguffie got smacked early in the season his freshman year? Dude ran like a scared rabbit the rest of the year. When you run that way, you get injured.

....okay, come on, we all know that 95% of these players are RR players. We can't realistically expect 6 months of hard work to turn our RBs to turn into biakabutuka-type backs. look at the guys Hoke is recruiting, those are the guys that we're going to be able to call tough in a few years. i like touissant, but i do realize he has his limits.

Seems like this team has established a pattern of getting down and playing catch up to win at that last minute. When you play like that you are going to get burned. Yeah, the refs were bad and made some terrible calls at the end, but when you play for a TD in the last seconds to win this is the kind of thing that you leave yourself open to. I wish the O played with more urgency and fire for 60 minutes rather than just the last half, quarter, or last 5 minutes.

 

[wolverine304]

Hart was short and compact like a jones drew. Plus he had that one lineman dude, what was his name. John long.. jake lang. I forget. But he was pretty decent.


I have no problem with the way fitz was running. Whoda thunk a Rb recruited for a speed type running attack wouldn't be the best power runner.

 

[hungry]

Yep, I had no problem with FT's play, just wish he would've gotten more carries in the first half. He was running well.

Plus he is only a sophomore. He'll get stronger and tougher...hopefully.

My problem was all of the 20+ yard passes.
