that's it...pathetic!

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Wow. Said we will continue to throw the ball on 1st and 2nd down quite a bit. I think thats giving a lot of info for this weekend. Hopefully he's setting the skunkbears up to guess.

I don't know...Kelly usually means what he says in the PC.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

The lack of 12 personnel against Temple was very suspicious. Kelly may be setting them up to work on run fits against the Pistol, only to trot out Niklas and Koyack for some power spread rushing come game time.

Agreed. It seems strange that Kelly would suddenly decide to completely ditch his most productive formation at ND over the course of one offseason.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

I just think BK has been speaking in huge generalities this week. I never really have bought in to the whole "we haven't opened up the playbook in anticipation for a bigger game the next week." After watching the press conference today, I'm starting to believe more and more that the play calling against Temple and our statements this week have been in an attempt to keep Michigan guessing.
