@mots_myers@BeLong22811414@proofNOTtrust@RedditCFB Take it up with Gene.
There was one second left on the actual game clock when the ball touched the WMU defender.
Don’t know what else to tell you.
You want it to be one way but it’s the other way.
@CFBChuckk Not to mention a former DEFENSIVE TACKLE converted OL lunging because he’s uhm a DEFENSIVE TACKLE.
He was consistently leaning and letting defenders cross his face all night, not establishing a base, and over-running his blocking lanes. This was a disaster.
@AlexanderInfer@k_walnation3@ByAZuniga Please do not use PFF as the benchmark for linemen grading. Their process is flawed, particularly for DBs and OL.
There were issues at the point of attack everywhere for that OL. A lot of it was coaching and playing a converted-from-DT at fucking Rhino but also other breakdowns
@k_walnation3@ByAZuniga The offensive line play was so unbelievably bad on Saturday. Michigan couldn’t establish a ground game. They were decidedly soft.
You’re right else wise though, 75% of this game hinges on Bryce.
@Thebullwillwin@CSayf23 It looked like he was smiling because he realized he’d been baited by a good cover 2 trap. Hoffman got up immediately, he wouldn’t have been smiling if he’d been hurt.
Everything DG has says about Bryce has all been confirmation bias that he’s looking to find the worst in him
@mots_myers@BeLong22811414@proofNOTtrust@RedditCFB It’s not a rule. Staratore already said it was just “protocol” the refs are told to follow and not in the rulebook. It’s to prevent people suggesting collusion.
What is in the rulebook is that the referee decides when I game is considered over. And they made the correct call.
@Thebullwillwin@CSayf23 I was too but no one knows why he was, and suggesting it was because Bryce thought it was Hoffman’s fault without actually knowing, is irresponsible as FUCK
@B1G_23@jjg828288014@CSayf23 Nothing in the way Bryce responded suggests he was laughing like it was Hoffman’s fault. DG is 100% guessing about what Bryce is smiling about.
@kylamb8@trevormccue Except it wasn’t. NBC’s clock was out of sync with the game clock. And you can see it during the game that the frames were out of sync. This was already acknowledged by the MAC, NBC, and B1G. Adding the second back was 100% the correct call regardless of your fandom.
@Underwood_szn@djbeachhead Sure but assuming a smile means he’s blaming the receiver is the stretchiest of stretches.
It looked more like a grimace to me, like WMU was sneaky and Bryce acknowledging that they trapped him. DG has been down on Bryce since day 1, and is always looking for a reason to dunk.
@StephenToski Do you wonder if any of this is related to the fact that Whitt said they weren’t doing as much live hitting/tackling in the last two weeks?
That was alarming to hear in the first place and I can’t imagine a world where that OL isn’t mauling WMUs basically all new front 7
@Kilo1899@BriceMarich Yes. Scott C watched the game drunk at his brother Jason’s house once and knows better than a 30+ year coach who watched the game three times diagnosing each position group.
@JDue51 Due, do you think the step back in physicality has anything to do with the fact that Whitt wasn’t having them run full go or tackle in practice?
@12_beersdeep@GoldenboyPO1 Im sorry I don’t care how big a fan you are of Bryce’s, that throw was excellent for a college QB. Throwing a 20+ yard post, layering it over a DB but having enough zip to meet his WR in crunch time is elite.
However poorly he played elsewhere, that was a beautiful ball.
