Things Discussed:

• Brian's serve game. Michigan seems like they can hit another gear.
• Outside zone: Michigan thinks they can get away playing 2 DTs + 1 LB vs 4 blockers and an RB because the DTs are that good. Maybe they're right and #75 for Minnesota is just good at run blocking.
• Sam: You can't play your NT at 2i like that. But Michigan is going to play those games inside because they are going to have their edges outside.
• JJ: So cool. Loved the re-Mike on the Loveland TD. Sam: he got Loveland a touchdown because he almost got him killed earlier.
• Mason OMG Graham. We do the Chris Farley thing for awhile.
• Pick Six: Johnson and Moore sold Cover 3—Sam notes they were in Quarters coverage.
• The one TD: Sam agrees it was –1 for Sainristil and –1 for Sabb. But note the only catch when Minnesota was on offense after that was Sabb's.
• Hoosiers: Have some players on defense, have a terrible quarterback but we like scatback Jaylin Lucas and go-get-it WR Cam Camper.
• Hockey talk: banged up on defense and it's showing in 5-on-4 (and 6-on-5). Goalies are mid. Why can't we fix these schedules so the football games don't undermine fandom. Playing Ohio State at home during the MSU football game is ridiculous. Move it to 4:30.
