  • The N Stands for Knockout (Michigan 45, Nebraska 17)

    I didn’t think anyone put a hand on Fitz all day but he somehow ended up with Herbie Husker blood on his shoulder pads. The beat down was complete.  Three phases.  Best team performance since Tebow got served in the 2008 Capital One Bowl.  Denard seemed to get that extra gear back and was comfortable in the pocket and for the most part made sound decisions.  The defense ranks squarely in the top 20 in the country, and inside the top 10 in scoring defense. That numb feeling you’ve had each of the past few seasons is gone.  That fear that the young men donning the maize and blue can’t get better as the season moves to November is fading.  They’re not only better they are, remarkably, kind of badass.  Wow.  What else can you say? Ok, fine, some nitpicks: Losing Contain.  This team is still has the occasional breakdown defending the run on the corner.  It’s about contain and 1-2-3:  1) maintain leverage, 2) keep outside arm free, 3) force runner inside.  I’m available for a demonstration, suckers. Half Management.   It didn’t come up in the postgame (and why would it?) but the clock end of the half was poorly managed.  After all the screw ups we still held a timeout at midfield, why not take a shot at…
