I will vouch for kaiser, he called the upset several weeks ago.

@Tom – Probably not, seeing how they needed a last second field goal

But point well taken.

@monkey – Disappointed in himself or in the offensive line? The latter shows a stark lack of faith.

@Ken – The fake punt was a surprise, but fun to see. I also caught bits of those two games. Blech!

We ARE…NOT going to the National Championship game. Did any of the Hawkeye players give the “Shhh” signal to Penn State?

During timeouts of OSU game, I surfed between the Mich-Minn game and the ILL-Directional Mich game. I’ve got to tell you, neither of these games were remotely watchable for more than a couple plays at a time.

From the confines of my living room in western NY, I LOVED the play calling. The fake punt may have been a little dicey, but it was good to see the aggressive play calling.

I liked TP’s long touchdown pass after the fake punt. After TP’s 4th qtr against PSU, this was a good catharsis for him. So much for the psychoanalysis. The look on Tressel’s face is open to interpretation; I think it was disbelief that the line opened up a hole for Herron. Maybe. I’d have to agree with Kaiser; if NW could have covered and tackled a little better in the 4th qtr…

kaiser- don’t get me wrong, I liked the calls. The one thing these offensive coaches have been missing has been an aggressive attitude, & today was the first time this season we’ve seen it.

But don’t call the play & then look disappointed when it works.

@monkey – Yeah, maybe he should have called for a QB kneeldown. Or maybe Northwestern’s D should prevent a TD.

I know he wasn’t happy with the late TD, but he’s the one who didn’t call the QB kneeldowns.
