Not surprising for his first start, Wimsatt threw some nice passes, but also struggled at times, as did his supporting cast.
For the remainder of the season, Play Vedral, show some offense, get more playmakers and tell Wimsatt, he will be the guy next year. It makes zero sense to trot out a hurt Wimsatt, against a Michigan team that Vedral has had some success against. Hopefully, Vedral will get the nod this week, otherwise, the rest of the season will be unwatchable, with Michigan, MSU, and PSU on tap. This kind of experience is not beneficial to Wimsatt’s development
The game was lost when they announced Sam Brown was lost for the year. Losing our best offensive player was something the offense just could not overcome, and struggled.
Mohamed Ibrahim’s patient, powerful running was the difference in the game. He patiently waited for his blocks to setup, then squeezed through the gap that opened up ever so slightly. This kid is a lock to play Sundays
Turning point had to be when normally sure tackling Izien, missed Ibrahim in the end zone, and Minnesota went on a 99 yard drive
Defensive Line got whooped, and could not stop the run, even when they knew it was coming. Minnesota won first down a lot, and had. Lots of third and short situations, which they successfully converted.
#7 Shameen Jones and #1 Aaron Cruickshank were not targeted enough
With all the poor WR play, it’s hard for me to believe that #14 Isaiah Washington doesn’t deserve his shot
At times it feels like we’re playing against the other team and the refs
At the end of the year, Schiano will need to access whether the offensive assistants are capable of bringing in the talent to rectify our issues on offense. Development is also not where it needs to be. Kids need to be able to catch less than perfectly thrown balls. There is less talent in the WR/TE rooms than there was in 2005, which is hard to believe.
Need to regroup and get ready for a tough Michigan team
