In Escanaba, MI! GO BUCKS!!!!!!!! O-H!

There it is

McCutcheon loved his visit up to Columbus for the Penn State when he was also offered by the Buckeyes:

Tough start for JSN. Bobbled an easy one that would’ve been a first down.

A) First and foremost, the allegation that potentially sharing signals of the Wolverines would be a violation of the Big Ten sportsmanship policy is outright false. I know for certain that programs in the Big Ten had compliance look into that accusation, and it is simply not against the rules.

B) So, why was it brought up? This appears quite clearly to be a smokescreen and deflection as part of the last-gasp effort from the Harbaugh family. Sources briefed on this matter know who leaked that information, and while DTE will not be publicly identifying the individual, I would add that it did not feel like a coincidence who this person might have coached with in the past.

C) When it comes to the story itself, Ohio State was asked for comment by outlets in Michigan on Monday. The reporters involved would not share what picture they were seeking a response about with the Buckeyes, so they flatly told them they could not address it without knowing what they were supposed to respond to in the first place. The timing and coordination is suspect to say the least, but even taking the allegation at face value, there is no concern across the league that what is being suggested by Michigan breaks any rule -- which is obviously quite different than the documented case against itself.

Marv Harrison mentioned to the media that he usually arrives at the Woody at 7:30 am and leaves at 9 pm. He listed what his typical day's schedule includes: just about all are football related. You can imagine what that entails: workouts, rehab and game scheme study, nutrition, etc.
What he didn't mention was when he attends his schedule of online classes and hits the study table.
Do all first and second team players use the online class option? Do any actually attend classes.
Do any players spend too much time attending in-person classes? Maybe the players on Special Teams?
Thanks.

We started this season with very high hopes for the linebacker duo of Tommy and Steele. Tommy has lived up to those expectations but Steele has underperformed making an opportunity for Corey Simon to steal snaps. Simon has played very well.
Is there a chance the light will come on for Steele and he will flash these next 4 to six games? Starting with the Michigan game, the Bucks need all of their prime-time players to shine and play as if their hair is on fire....and the whole team needs to play its best for four quarters.
We've seen it here and there all season but haven't seen it with consistency.

He didn't go to Alabama this past weekend as expected and I asked if I should get a commitment (to Ohio State) story ready and he said "maybe". The latest here:

I know I know PFF blah blah blah. But Jack is severely underappreciated by the fan base. Kid does his job.

A few differing views of the game. I tend to agree with the CFB Nerds. With Michigan’s defense being so good, we might see something similar to our game where Penn State’s offense struggles to do much of anything. We’ll see how Michigan handles happy valley and if their entire coaching staff is present 🤔

CFB Nerds both picked Michigan
Josh Pate picked Penn St
Bill and Doug just talked about it

And his Anti American agenda
Now, I’m pretty cautious that ‘something’ might or could go south...

It’s ridiculous, irresponsible and irrelevant. Having people suggest to the Big Ten that the mere possibility of looking into an opponent cheating is a violation of the sportsmanship rules is the most laughable thing I’ve ever heard. It’s deflection at its finest, and it doesn’t change the facts of the situation.

The good? A November road win against an above-average Big Ten opponent.
The bad? Plenty.

• McCord had another subpar outing. I know it's crossed others' minds this season, but this may have been the first game that legitimately had me concerned for the rest of the season and 2024.
• The interception was an inexcusable throw. You've got to see that defender just sitting in the zone.
• I've been okay with a lot of the check-downs to Trey this season, but doing that when Marv is wide open is quite the choice. He missed an open Marv multiple times today.
• I will say he did settle down as the game went on and was better in the second half (though it was mostly all about the running game).
• Can't say much about the o-line after the first watch, but I definitely saw Fryar get beat early on.
• As Bill pointed out via text, Simmons and Jackson did a good job picking up a twist that gave McCord enough time to hit Trey on that big third-down pass.
• They were terrible on third downs for a large portion of the game. They were 0-5 at one point, but I have no idea what the final tally was.
• Trey Henderson is elite when healthy. Best player on the field today. "Destroyer of angles" is an appropriate nickname.
• Genuinely think keeping him healthy for the next month is going to decide the season.
• Up and down game for Gee Scott. Nice job with the TD catch but he also had some drops and missed blocks.
• Ryan Day was out-coached for a lot of this game.

• The Hancock pick six might be the biggest play of the season so far behind only the McCord to Emeka pass in South Bend.
• Josh Proctor made a hell of a play there and somehow avoided the personal foul. Really hope his prognosis is okay.
• Despite the game-changing play, Hancock did have some blunders. He got beaten badly on what should have been a long touchdown. But overall he's been really good this season.
• Had a feeling they'd get burnt on at least one trick play. Schiano loves being weird like that (and it was a good call considering it went for 45 yards).
• The defense wasn't up to snuff today. Kyle Monangai had his best game of the season against a defense that was ranked No. 19 against the rush and No. 4 in total defense.
• Gavin Wimsatt can't really throw the ball so no major takeaways from the pass defense. He did find a bit of a groove there in that final first-half drive.
• The linebacker play is beyond frustrating. Chambers was especially bad today. You can't have two veterans being so inconsistent.
• Defensive line didn't appear to provide a ton of pressure from what I could tell.
• Refs were bad. That call on Tyleik was a joke and they missed a blatant false start on Simmons.
• I don't care if that fake punt was called or not. I'm over Parker Fleming and that's not going to change.

Will be at the Minnesota game
