Just watched the first half of the MSU game...
What I liked:
Alize's first catch when he bowled over three guys to get the first down... (That's what we've been talking' about -- and it is "only the beginning, only just the start...")
Wimbush's arm. That throw to EQ (should have stayed in bounds) in the end zone was perfect.
That throw to Dexter on the next play after that scramble was just as perfect and showed a whole other skill set. Channelling Elway on the first, Fauve on the second.
Bws first throw to EQ (nice diving catch) -- Stephenson would have caught it in stride and walked in.
But my favorite throw was that simple low throw to EQ on 3rd and six for a first down to keep the second drive alive. That is the throw that will get us places...
Julian "where is the" Love (right here) on D: next time Julian does something like that (this kid is the real deal) the ND crowd HAS TO STRIKE UP THE FOLLOWING....
"All you need is love, dah-dah-dah-dah-daaah, all you need is love, love... love is all you need."
Our punter and our kicker will both play on Sundays. Keep it up guys!
The defense, especially when our first D held them on 4th and goal (were they first and goal?) when the game was over... The pride and togetherness they showed after that play speaks volumes for the changes Elko has put in... As Clyde Frazier once said: "Pride, and a little defense."
Crawford's strip -- damn, that guy is a criminal, the good kind, like Bogey -- stealing from the rich and giving to the Irish. What an amazing play, and the most important one of the game. I'll have another.
What I kinda liked but I'm not really sure:
BK's dance was like a irishman before he he had his first Guinness... Self-concious, a little awkward but strangely made me smile at the same time. Now there's that red face!
What I didn't like:
Polian! Go for the block on that 4th and 25 when they were on their five!!!! Our rusher makes a half-assed effort, and the blockers are terrible on every single play. Finke is road kill every time. Do better on punt returns!
That f-ing spear non call, that the MSU guy executes on Wimbush. It would have been a cleaner hit if the guy pulled a 9MM Luger. I mean c'mon if that wasn't an ejection I don't know what is... Hard to watch.
But in the end, a really good game for the Irish. Bodi, let's have another.
What did I miss guys?
