Another 5 yards back and spartie probably couldn't have lined up for a FG.

Thought so too, but looking back it was probably the easier decision than to try the long field goal. Would have been interesting if a delay of game penalty had been called - the clock ran out before the snap. Would ND had been more alert with Spartans still lining up for the attempt?

Clock didn't run out... it was essentially at the same time. The ABC/ESPN clock was shown to be fast (which is often half a second off).

The primary target receiver in the play was covered. ND was ready for the fake, just not ready enough.

He was not "covered." He runs into one guy, who plays it like he's being blocked, and then he runs over the ND player who was trying to cover the TE. Two ND players are knocked down leaving the TE wide open. I assume it was legal because it happened at the LOS?

[nhwbrooklyn]

He was not covered. Go back and look at it. He runs over two ND players - including the one who should have been covering the TE - who are not attempting to cover anyone.

Bell blew up 2 guys... one of them would have been on Gantt. Was that enough? Maybe not. But it's not like the base field goal defense isn't designed to handle fakes at all.

[Rocky Bleier]

I changed my post a little bit after looking at it again. I think the guy over the TE was ready for the fake, but he was taken out by Bell. Is that an illegal pick if it's downfield?

It happened so fast and so close to the line no ref would call that. It was more like Bell pancaked 2 guys on one play.

Braylon Edwards DWI... typical UofM product...

*sarcasm alert* ... Yes I know a spartan is involved in a ring that stole 150K with of stuff from Detroit schools...

I mean of all people to steal money from.... the detroit public schools?? So low.

This pass defense is just pathetic.

I just turned on the game. Why is Forcier playing?

As a reward that he stopped being a media queen thorn in RR's side?

Robinson went down with 6 minutes left in the 1st qtr. He already had 120+ yards 2td's rushing, 4-4 passing 60 yards. Bruised calf.

When was the last time UM put on this kind of scoring and rushing binge? Jeez, they are really laying it on.

[Mainevent]

UM QBs are also 23 for 26, with Forcier 12-12.

Delaware State. Let's see how they do in the T1e1n.

Tate looked great out there. Granted, it was Bowling Green. But it was fun to see.
