OK, it is Gaffney, and it is stopped.


Is it just me? - Mick - 01-01-2014

Or has there been massive, regular, ongoing holding by the MSU line on pass plays?


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - 82 Card - 01-01-2014

Our O line just got beat on that 4th down.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - Leftcoast - 01-01-2014

Epic decision to go for it on fourth?  We'll see after the timeout. 

Hogan run option play, perhaps?


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - Leftcoast - 01-01-2014

Gaffney just buried on that play.  Ouch!  Come on O-Line.  Turn over on downs.

Insanely timely turnover....wow that was massive.

Michigan State's offense looked like ours on that last drive.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - estephan500 - 01-01-2014

Good lord, we needed that fumble

I'm sorry, but I want to diversify beyond gaffney, I think I am not the only one to think that...


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - estephan500 - 01-01-2014


OK, what is up with this gaffney shit?  is shaw trying to prove that he is strong again? ***** that!


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - Mick - 01-01-2014

Snap count is predictable too, MSU is hitting the line right at the count


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - JohnR34231 - 01-01-2014

I don't know what the deal is. We continue to try to run the ball when we are getting totally stuffed. Oh well.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - dabigv13 - 01-01-2014

Yeah the offensive playcalling was exceptional on the opening drive. Not so much recently. We're not running on them, we need to give Hogan some running opportunities or go back to some of the screens.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - Gauss - 01-01-2014

The refs have screwed up some calls (that end zone PI  ::)), but nowhere near what the board is complaining about.
MSU's defense is just playing great, and their QB, apart from some boneheaded throws, is being accurate, which forces our D to be honest and not stop the run effectively.

With a few good plays we can still win, but it's looking tough...


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - estephan500 - 01-01-2014

Jut got harder. This opponent is good, and they have been feeling like underdogs.

(1) They can pass on us
(2) We can not run on them and are not showing flexibility really shift to a separate plan.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - Leftcoast - 01-01-2014

Yeah, it's not the refs.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - JohnR34231 - 01-01-2014

The refs haven't helped, but right now we are getting dominated.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - needle - 01-01-2014

It's going to have to be Hogan and hopefully Ty Montgomery/Rector/Cajuste on this upcoming drive down seven.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - GoodGrief - 01-01-2014

Some Wilkerson and Kelsey Young and Barry J around the outside please.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - Langdude - 01-01-2014

I feel that Wayne Lyons and Ed Reynolds both seem to be a bit late. We're getting killed through the air.

And if our offensive line is truly the best in the nation, they should be making a better show, even against a defense as great as Michigan State.

They are the better team, at least so far.

Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - estephan500 - 01-01-2014

My theory:  We showed innovation and creativity at the start because some of those early sequences were scripted or planned -- maybe not explicitly, but mentally, Shaw had earmarked a few starting gestures.  But when it gets into the rapid and intensive battle, he's just leaning back on his reliance on our "identity" ... and his favorite spots on his plastic card.  I join others to encourage them to bring play calling a bit out of Shaw's hands.


Re: 100th Rose Bowl Game Thread - WaldportCard - 01-01-2014

I am getting so sick of the endless commercials.  This must be a record ... even the Super Bowl ain't this bad.
