        I'd have done the same thing. This defense has a habit of letting people make 3rd and longs. 46 yarder in these conditions.

        All in all, once again turnovers keep us too close for comfort. Haven't had much trouble on either side for the most part. Purdue has done well on denard.

        Also Kerrigan is a fricking beast. One of the best players in the Big 10 easily.

          You said it all, daddyo.

          At the end of last season, I would tell people Michigan's biggest problem was RichRod's offense worked really well in the Big East where the defenders are slower and dumber, but couldn't survive in the Big Ten where linebackers are as fast as running backs; you mishandle the ball a split second and they're on you. Then Robinson had that great start non-conference and I thought, maybe not. But the guy does you no good with all of his yardage if he's going to spit it up and give up points on turnovers.

            They had the wind at their back, you have to accept that penalty. Now if the wind was in their face with those conditions, sure - decline it and make them make the equivalent of a 50 yarder in the rain.

              • Nah, it's not that windy, and that kick had another 5 yards on it anyway. The pooch punt though... maybe on 4th and 5 that's alright, but it was like 15, everyone knew it was coming and denard shanked it to boot.

                  I they might have had another 5 yards on it, but the penalty was 10 yards.....

                  There is a train of thought that if you have points on the board you don't take them off (unless doing so gives you 4 cracks from the 1 like the Lions had). That same train of thought applies to the defense, if you can take a team out of scoring position - you do it. You make that offense get back in scoring position.

                  • Minn beating Ill... apparently the Zooker wants revenge and is willing to lose to minn to take away significants of UofM's victory last week.

                      The penalty was 10 yards, but it made it 3rd down, and I have no doubt they'd have gotten as much. It's moot.

                      I think it's time to get tate out there though. DRob has just been terrible. He's playing like he did against MSU.

                        The penalty was 10 yards - it was holding.

                        • Yeah that was a typo, I meant 10. I was saying they'd get 5 on 3rd anyway, and possibly more.

                          And what is up with this game, everyone has just started sucking. Tate misses the easiest of first down passes to V Smith.

                          • What's wrong with Robinson now? Inffectiveness, or did they tear a new hole in his gluteus maximus?

                                He threw 2 bad picks, one for a TD, and fumbled.
