That was a nice pass, glad it was called back.

Mighty soft call in our favor there
Holding call in our favor. First in 3 weeks?
Like that's the right call but the fact that MSU and Purdue didn't get called for those types of holds is frustrating.

God, MSU was holding our DL like crazy. Much yelling at my TV.
If you take away the opening possession our Defense has played pretty well.
Was just about to say this.

Perhaps, it just seems when we “need a yard” or whatever, we tend to get predictable.
Great job stabling things by the defense, now let’s put together a mistake-free drive!
Need yards here, good field position considering they had the wind on that punt.
Back to back penalties on an Illini opponent. Somebody pause my game while I buy a quick lottery ticket.

Defense is starting to get it's confidence back.
Glad IW finally caught it and didn't let it hit and roll 20 yards
Michigan is calling plays like they think there's no conceivable possibility they can lose this game. Throw on first and second down. Call interior runs on 3rd and 9. Whatever, who cares, let's see what works.

Almost every week, it seems like defense gets pushed around on first drive, but then settle in after that. Appears teams know how to prepare the first 10 pre-determined plays. But after that stall out a bit.
It's not supposed to be unpredictable. It's supposed to be unstoppable (to get 1 yard) if the offensive line does their job.

Corum's jump cut is really something, he can dramatically change direction on a dime, but if we stay disciplined and pursue aggressively we can keep it from opening up interstate highways for him.
Or Our coaches make adjustments on the game plane when they realize their original plan wasn’t working
High tower getting involved
Honestly, I like the playcalling thus far. We're softening them up and getting them offbalance. Michigan guessing what we're calling right now
We may be on to something here.
Can we highlight how well Devito is throwing right now? Whether it is caught is a different story, but so much better than last week.

Started the game with zero confidence. Coming on!
We don't look like trash.
