M @ Minny - In Game, Post Game Discussion

[The Oracle]

Their defense was bound to give up more yards than they have been. They've played competent Quarterbacks the last two weeks.

And still held both to a combined <50% completion %.

Hannibal, I'd ask you to cheer up and enjoy this, but you'd probably sock me in the snooker .... but here it is anyway ...

[The Oracle]

Holy fuck that guy looks like Bo.

Also, please note that if Speight and Michigan don't convert that 2 point conversion, then Minnesota has a chip shot field goal for the win.

Harbaugh already said that Speight is the #2 guy and has been for a few weeks.

That was formally said? When?

[WingsFan]

HOLY SHIT! That's why they are and always have been the goofers!!

I thought the last pass play was a minI TD and went in another room pissed off for a moment , came back and thought why are they going for 2 now? Then it hit me game is not over! This is a great win! Don't care how it was done!,,

Under hoke, the team would have folded/given up and lost. They aren't doing that under Harbaugh.

Harbaugh made the decision to move Speight to No. 2 'a few weeks ago.' Says he stopped being nervous every time Speight threw.

Wrong. Leidner is not competent. He is an absolutely awful quarterback. They burned a freshman's redshirt earlier in the year because he was so terrible.

But you think everyone is awful. This year he has completed 59 percent of his passes. And he can run. A lot of Michigan's defensive came against inexperienced QBs.

Got it. Thanks.

[Hannibal]

There's more to passing than completion percentage. He is averaging a paltry 6.2 ypa including tonight's game. He averaged over 9.5 ypa tonight. As I said earlier, Leidner was so bad that he got benched and they pulled the redshirt off of a true freshman. Colorado State, Nebraska, Kent State, Ohio, and Northwestern all held Minny to fewer yards and points than we did.

But yeah, other than that Leidner is a great QB and there's obviously nothing we could reasonably be expected to do to stop him.

This is a tough crowd.

MN played a very good game, got some big plays, and all of the bounces went their way on a night when they were playing with crazy emotion and incentive

M got their starting QB knocked out of the game, foundered about and still put a drive together to win the game with a QB that hadn't completed a pass all year and stuffed the MN offense at the goal line when they had to

Put that together with fact that at the start of the season most expected a .500 season at best makes this a hell of a win in my book.
