Does Vizza's passes look like floaters or is it just me???

akriesman · October 6, 2007

Neither. I live in Dallas/Ft Worth and only cheer on the MG. Don't know who Arkies is.

Vizza fumbled again, but Stickler recovers in endzone. TD NT

UPDATE: Awesome! Missed PAT

let's give a cheer.....

Did you hear the announcer after the missed PAT. He had a very unenthusiastic "WOW." haha it was awesome.

akriesman · October 7, 2007

What a play by Fitz. Vizza looking more comfortable.

GoMeanGreen1999 · October 7, 2007

way too early to be going for 2

that was close buy yahoo!!!!! another TD for NT!

I'll agree with that.

SouthBendGreen · October 7, 2007

I'll agree with that.

WAY TOO early. Coaches are universally horrible at clock management and when to go for two. Shouldn't have chased the points there. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us.

couldn't disagree more, if you make it you are tied and if you don't then you are still a field goal from leading, just like you would be if you kicked the extra point.

Good call by Dodge going for two.

I guess but it seems so dangerous for us right now. I guess I'm just too conservative for us at the moment.

No dissrespect, but you are so wrong. Don't chase the points until you have to bottom line.

meanrob · October 7, 2007

never go for two before the fourth quarter.....never.

so sayeth mean rob

either way, back in the game.

He is looking much more comfortable.... I suggested at the beginning of the game, they needed to give him some runs so he could get hit to settle him down.... that's exactly what happened.... I just wish they did it sooner...

I guess i don't see it as chasing points. We are in the same poition wether we make the kick or don't get the two. The only way that we improve our situation is to go for two and make it. I really don't see the risk, besides it is not like the kicking game is working at the moment.

well I couldn't disagree with you more. Coaches go for 2 points way too early in games it drives me crazy. You have no idea what is going to happen the rest of the game, and at that point you had 2 1/2 quarters left in the game.

Well here is the risk - IF Lloyd Carr kicks the extra point at the end of the third quarter against App State, then in the fourth quarter, all he would have had to do is kick the extra point, and they would have been in OT. Instead, he plays catch up the rest of the game, and they lose.

That is a good point, but the way that we have been playing i think that we need a spark.. Dodge doesn't exactly play a conservative game plan. I appreciate the confidence he shows his team and I like the guts he shows by going for it. I would rather tie the game then look at the two point deficit.

hickoryhouse · October 7, 2007

Is it just me but is the announcer calling Stickler Strickler?

is it really Strickler and the Uniform guys screwed up?

meanrob · October 7, 2007

any kind of score would be awesome here

meanrob · October 7, 2007

c'mon, gotta be smarter than that vizza. can't take a sack

hickoryhouse · October 7, 2007

INT CRAP.....

One hell of a hit!!!

SouthBendGreen · October 7, 2007

That last pick goes in the stats, but it doesn't matter it was like a punt. Very unimpressive first half offensively. I thought the defense looked pretty solid.
