Cliff takes a knee after the KO went into the end zone, so it's 16-14, Michigan, at the half

43 should be embarrassed by that feeble attempt at a tackle. Tackling is a serious issue for this team. Manny should make it clear. You don’t tackle properly, you don’t play.

He just isn’t a D 1 player. Just isn’t

Agree.... we don't have anything resembling a drive, yet we have 14 points.
We haven't been able to stop UM from running up and down the field, but they only have 16 points........
That’s why I don’t bet on football.

Well, he is one of the very best in the country. He has a ton of experience and one of the best offensive lines blocking for him.....our RB's can't claim either.
I read prior to the game that Michigan’s Oline was average at best. Our DL and tackling are horrid

Didn’t PSU have a similar type of offensive performance against Wisconsin last year?

BS.... you can see grabbing like that on every single play
Textbook. Can't grab a receiver like that, especially when the ball is coming and at least 2 officials have their eyes locked on that matchup.

It’s been an absolutely glaring problem for years but the coaching staff apparently thinks it’s ok as they don’t fix it.

Yeah, I don't know where you got that information, but if you're watching the game, clearly the team voted to have the best offensive line in the country a year ago still has some talent and coaching. They are really really good .

STOP WITH THE DIRECTIONAL KICKOFFS! How many times do they have to kick it OOB before they stop doing it?

All of our kickers bust it pretty deep as it is and not many like to return it. But when you're kicking into the wind like Nwosu was there, you can't be picking angles because like in golf, one little mishit and it goes screaming off course (or is that just my tee shots?).

Can they get Jacobs and Carter on the field at the same time more frequently please? I don’t care if Carter is a true freshman, he is clearly one of the most talented defensive players on the team.

So PSU is using Iowa's game plan against Michigan? 😉

It sure seems that way.

We are severely weak at LB. Jacobs is not good in the box vs the run. Elsdon is nearly a liability. Sutherland is NOT a LB, but he just isn't a good tackler. Carter is our best LB and he's still young.

Tackling stinks. I think you HAVE to go into the portal next year and try to snag at least 1 LB, if not 2.

Need a good reset at halftime. We have to get a drive or we need an explosive play and score. Defense is going to need at least 2 more turnovers.

Strange game.

But the point you are ignoring is the fact that it is not called most of the time, including primes examples in this game.

My issue is that the ref standing 5 yards from it didn’t throw a flag but a flag came flying in from across the field away from the play. I see it all the time in my son’s lacrosse games. Drives me nuts.

okay, I had a snack and feel refreshed. Hopefully, PSU's O figured out a few things at the half, and will make an appearance right off the opening KO.

That looked like my high hook off the tee that the wind just grabbed and sent it farther left.

You heard wrong. The Mi oline is better than their conference winning oline last year. MI coaches even say so and the stats support it. Plus, they have never/ will never be called for holding in the Big10

open with a pass attempt to Strange, and Michigan is all over it, so Cliff wisely throws it into the ground
