I had a good feeling when UM broke that big run on the first play of the game.

Because that’s exactly what happened on Wisconsin’s first play of the 2011 rose bowl. Might have been mentioned in another thread but just had to throw that out there

Said the same thing to my son. Not to worry, seen this before and it played out well for us.

I think it happened also in a Liberty Bowl game years ago that their were a couple of big runs to start the game and then the defense locked them down for negative rushing yards for the rest of the game.

I still remember John turntine holding off a blocker with one arm and stopping 230lb Cecil Cobb with the other. Cold day in Memphis but great defense that day.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Told my wife same thing about first play. But I did not have a good feeling free that. Fortunately the run defense stiffened up.

 

[EVOfrogMR]

Thought the exact same thing. I also found myself yelling out "You know who that was" when Dee Winters went off like Tank Carder.

The Wisconsin run was my first thought as well.

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

I think that was everyone’s first thought. Well, everyone in purple.

 

[SportsJunkie]

Same gut punch feeling both times also for me. I could do without that against Georgia

yes, tore up little No. Ill., which was then highly rated. Had the best rated back in the country, I think.

Cecil Sapp maybe?

He and Bradlee Van Pelt had the worst days of their careers. Without that run they probably had 80 total yards.

I also thought of both when I saw it and had minimal fear. Like the players have said, once we saw trick play…we were golden.

Yep! Monty Ball. I had that same feeling. I can’t remember who ran him down…

Yeah, when I saw this I knew. It reminded me of Wisconsin on a different level. Despite the fact that we won that game, they were able to get a constant barrage of short yardage but struggled throwing the ball. We didn't allow any more of the big plays, but we gave up 2-4 yards pretty consistently.

I was flabbergasted that they went to the pass on the goal line on 4th down. In both situations.

Had the exact same feeling. That game looked like a Rose/Peach bowl combination.

 

[Horny4TCU]

Without that play, M only had a 132 yards on a the ground. Tell me again how the 3-3-5 doesn't work against the power run game?

That’s right Sapp.

you want to really drive that point home, consider that in the 3rd quarter michigan had a scoring drive that was a 10-yard defensive holding against the frogs, a 39-yard scramble by their quarterback, and then the 20 yard qb keeper for the score

3 carries for 113 yards which means on the other 37 wolverine carries they gained 73 yards

now i obviously don't understand the power of analytics and advanced metrics, but i am fairly certain that is less than 2 yards per carry

The Wisconsin run was my first thought as well.

It was my second thought. My first was: "darn". I never feel good about TCU giving up 60 yards.

 

[helcap]

I had a different thought. Edwards had 75 & 92 yard TD runs against tOSU. So when Clark tracked him down at the 20 yd line my first thought was welcome to real team speed

 

[Double V]

Yep! Monty Ball. I had that same feeling. I can’t remember who ran him down…

It was Tejay Johnson, I believe. And it looked almost the EXACT same where the LB got caught in the wrong gap.
