Paul Bearer: “This is Paul and Paul is my friend.  I will hold him and hug him and squeeze him and love him..” Much of the postgame chatter naturally focused on the personal fouls.  My take—State’s mostly meaningless penalties kept Michigan in the game, kept drives alive, and the yardage from those penalties was U-M’s most consistent offensive weapon.  M rushed for 82 yards while picking up 124 thanks to the maize flags.  Was it dirty?  Certainly a few plays were cheap and Will Gholston will be sitting a game (ok, or three) after the Big Ten reviews the game.   But Michigan lost because they didn’t execute on offense and there were plenty of opportunities.  It’s on Michigan.  At times guys were wide open—we’re talking 20 yard radius open—and Denard either didn’t have time or didn’t see them or tossed a bad pass. I give State credit for those blitz packages but mainly for bottling up the running game.  If this is going to work, M must get more production out of the backs.  Hoke said it, “…We had 82 [rushing yards]. That’s pretty much it.”   Quoting Dr. Sap quoting Bo, “AND WE HAD NO BLOCKING AT THE POINT OF ATTACK!" Now, on the pfs I’ll say this–if Michigan finished a game with six personal fouls, I’d be really pissed…
