Having said that, ND turned the ball over 6 or 7 times in the 1st half against Michigan and had no turnovers against us. That accounted for the 31-0 halftime lead for Michigan.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, Mallet did very little (90 yards passing). We really can win that game. We have far more talent on D than Michigan has on its D. As usual, it will come down to whether Morelli plays decently and our RB's hold onto the ball (and get some yards).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714045.post-19467529943239780792007-09-17T12:39:00.000-04:002007-09-17T12:39:00.000-04:00I'm somewhat concerned.

I'm fine with some 3 and outs early, as this O seems to take a bit to get warmed up. However, if we give them the ball in our end to start the game, we won't be able to recover like we did against ND and Buff. <BR/><BR/>Mich's offense looked decent, but I have to believe that a PSU D angry at themselves for the 4th Q letdown will come out hot. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line if we can keep Hart from going too far over 100 and not turn the ball over we win the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714045.post-12880553849507442722007-09-17T11:05:00.000-04:002007-09-17T11:05:00.000-04:00I would like to point out that all the points ND s...I would like to point out that all the points ND scored on us were from a defensive INT and a punt return. They were fortunate to even sniff the endzone. If you look at what the defense did overall, they were as stout as ever against a very confused and inept offense.<BR/><BR/>As for Michigan, there is NO way you can look past them. I like our chances, but we cannot start off slow and turn the ball over. This Michigan team is going to be hungry to knock off another top ten PSU team a la 2005 when they were wallowing in Mediocre City. The thing that gives me confidence is that their defense still hasn't proved much as the talent level from last year has dropped severly and we will not see Morelli laying on his back with a concussion again. If we start Kinlaw and open up the playbook, especially with Quarless back who should give their linebackers fits, we should be okay. <BR/><BR/>But I won't be convinced we can beat Michigan until the clock reads triple zero in the fourth and we have more points than them. I am hopeful, though, that the streak ends this year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310760681024752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714045.post-90278623737351573782007-09-17T09:19:00.000-04:002007-09-17T09:19:00.000-04:00I'm very worried about Michigan.

I'm amazed that a lot of PSU fans still have a lot of confidence in our team - I hope they're right.Galenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068113556245153541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714045.post-22833595869756042342007-09-17T09:16:00.000-04:002007-09-17T09:16:00.000-04:00I'm worried!

The most scary thing was how many times Justin King got beat.<BR/>I know, "we were looking ahead".<BR/>The sun was in my eyes, I tripped on a rock. I think the offense will help us out this time, not the other way around. Hear that God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
