Agree HOWEVER…. Greg specifically talked about how good their special teams are, top to bottom, and his press conference on Monday. So I have a feeling we may very well be seeing “pooch kicks” if there is any kind of wind whatsoever blowing into the kicker’s face.
I know it's Greg's style, but I would rather kick it to the end zone or 5 yard line vs the 30. Even on pooch kicks seems like we don't get to them to force the fair catch anyway.
Also, Rutgers needs to take timely shots at the CB of Wisconsin. They are the weak link on defense for the Badgers. They have been referred to as the "Toast Brothers."
If this is the case then I sure as hell hope we look either at:
We're getting closer and closer. Didn't really try to punt block last week, think we tipped one FG, BUT it's about time for a "block-6" from this crew!!!
Thanks for stopping by. We think we have a chance because we’ve significantly improved our line play. Looking forward to a great game.
Since you in Spartyland (assuming MSU area), I had a nice long chat with a knowledgeable alum of the other Michigan school UofM at the Duluth Trading Company headquarters store. He was at the RU v. UM game, and he came away quite impressed with RU, and he has been unimpressed with UW so far this season. As our discussion progressed, we both agreed that it is still a little early to draw any conclusions on any teams, as most of our teams have had only one B1G game.
I lived by MSU for a decade when I first registered my username, but haven’t been there for almost 20 years. Now in the Twin Cities.
Speaking of special teams. Enough with the Windmill Willie shit on punts. Set up a return and unleash all of this speed you've been recruiting. Or sell out and try to block some kicks.
TRUE running QB's have ALWAYS done well against Greg.....HOWEVER.....
Couple of things about Mordecai. He does have 4 rushing TDs and there have been multiple designed QB runs in each of the 4 games. I saw that 103 net yardage includes 44 yards of losses, so I suspect those might be sacks. An intentional UW QB run is very different from the past. And, again, with Mellusi out for the year, he is now the second best option for running. He may not be a true dual threat like your guy, but it’s part of the new offense.
If that happened, we would most likely be ranked around 20
It's the closest shot we've had to it since 2006, and even then the schedule didn't fall our way with weak Big East opponents at home into home vs Louisville on Thursday night, and the last good opponents after that win were both on the road.
