If Michigan can beat them regularly, we can, too. You won't beat tOSU playing their game, so change the game.

Why does your attitude not surprise me.

Kotelnicki's offense got a lot of us excited last year until his cheeks tightened up against OSU.

People give me hell about this, but I'm still not sold. The tOSU and ND games are case in point. Just did not understand the game plan. Showed a total lack of confidence in the offense. I also believe he relied on Tyler far too much. Our WR's had big games throughout the season at times, but his plans just didn't ever prioritize them. Look at Clifford against UCLA. Then he just goes away.

He had far more talent here than at Kansas, yet didn't use them much. I know there were issues, but no catches against ND is unexplainable.

Too much 4D chess / game theory can disrupt. On the other hand, too much predictability doesn't help either. If he can just get it right on 3rd and goal from the two, then I'm good.
