[military_irish]

Ragone will have ACL surgery done for the year

Spond questionable for Saturday, hamstring.

Cwynar has a broken bone in his hand and seems like he is getting strength back and ready to compete

 

[military_irish]

Sees no need to make drastic changes to the depth chart

 

[military_irish]

"This team has not been beaten by a team this year, the team has beat themselves."

 

[Whiskeyjack]

"This team has not been beaten by a team this year, the team has beat themselves."

Amen to that.

 

[military_irish]

Tuitt and Lynch did not play because of the concern with Robinson's running and option ability. They NEED to see the field though and will see more time.

 

[Grahambo]

I really like the way BK presents himself.

 

[military_irish]

If they would have won Saturday Riddick would be the main story, shows his ability to forget the past and get better the next game. After his bad game against USF.

Gary Gray will have a great game

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

He's in a good mood today.

 

[military_irish]

Stay the course with what has been planned for this team, just need to cut back on TO's.

 

[military_irish]

Tuitt and Lynch are not in the Nickel formation, which they played alot of Saturday, that is another reason they did not play.

 

[military_irish]

Would like the offense to move a little bit quicker, but is not upset with how they have executed.

Gary Gray will have a great game

I think Kelly believes in Gary to much.

 

[military_irish]

500 yards should score more than 31 points, not happy in that aspect. He expects for every 80 yards should result in 7 points

 

[military_irish]

Does not believe the Lepracat or putting in another QB is an answer, they just need to execute better in 3 and 1 situations

 

[military_irish]

Told Tommy he can use all the timeouts if he needs to, Kelly does not need timeouts for anything. Just do not get into a bad play

Might save one for special teams situations

 

[tko]

I think Kelly believes in Gary to much.

hopefully Cousins won't expose him too often, but i imagine the MSU staff and players are licking their chops.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

DR

DR

I think Kelly believes in Gary to much.

I will forgive gray a bit. he had to keep his eyes on DR, the ball, and a wr. tough task

 

[irishff1014]

Good to see Coach Kelly still believes in everyone on this team i really like that.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Ragone will have ACL surgery done for the year

Spond questionable for Saturday, hamstring.

Cwynar has a broken bone in his hand and seems like he is getting strength back and ready to compete

Damn...Ragone has the worst luck I've ever seen. anyone think he will apply and get aqccepted for a 6th year?

 

[military_irish]

The defense was in the right play on the 60 yard pass at the end of the game, just didn't execute

 

[military_irish]

Kelly is familiar with Dantonio because he took over for him at Cincinatti, but only a professional friendship

 

[military_irish]

Floyd is what they have expected and more

 

[TerryTate]

Kelly is the man.

 

[military_irish]

Kelly is feeling excited because he likes his players and feel they are on the right path even though they are 0-2. It's not acceptable to lose, especially at ND. But he is excited about the journey they are taking with these players

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

500 yards should score more than 31 points, not happy in that aspect. He expects for every 80 yards should result in 7 points

That's about what he got at Cincy his last year, 11.6 yards gained per score. We are at 20 yards per point right now. Horribly inefficient. Last season was 14.4.

 

[military_irish]

1st turnover was a route issue, but on a 1st down and throwing into triple coverage is unacceptabe for a starting QB.

 

[military_irish]

Rees is very level, he doesn't get up or down. Plays never stay with him. When the ball slipped out of his hand he had checked into the right call for a TD, just fumbled.

He was still able to come back and score the go ahead TD with 30 seconds, that is what he likes about Rees

 

[military_irish]

If you really look at the defense they are doing great, Michigan only had 180 yards after 3 Q's. You have to look at the big picture. The defense has had 1 bad Q out of 8

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

thanks for the updates. I am in a meeting, blah blah blah.
