Michigan Formation

Anyone else think as they were watching it what Michigan had the guy all the way at the top for? 

It's Harbaugh's fault.  You don't punt with that little time left.

yes you do. You don't do a rugby punt or go through a full 2-3 steps. You take 1 step and punt it. If he went for it, then he leaves MSU a chance at a hail mary. I would give them a hail mary from their own 25-30 than at the Michigan 45. A 45 yard hail mary or a 70 yarder. Which do you think has a better chance?

harbaugh or the special teams coach is an idiot for letting a play like that happen, that punter should have had it drilled in his head to fall on the ball if something goes wrong

So Harbaugh didn't have ALL of his players concentrated to make plays. He isn't flawless. Michigan is exposed. Ohio State might also get a piece of them. Ill bet oddsmakers dumb enough to favor the Wolverines. Preseason MSU was -5, and pretty much played to that line.

"He tried to kick it thru traffic; he should've fallen on it" --Harbaugh

Craziest ending I have ever seen! Coaches would NEVER do this, but how about keeping Rudock out there in shotgun....snap the ball to him and he chucks it as far and high as he can out of bounds. It may not take out all 10 seconds, but it would only leave MSU with 2-3 secs and not in field goal territory. And who knows, if he can scramble even just a little bit then throw it away it may have taken out all 10 seconds.

5th year senior punter.   Went from hero in the first quarter with an 80 yard punt, to a zero a couple hours later.  

Your thinking is all flawed. First would you rather have a punter back there who it's his job to punt or a QB who doesn't kick. What if the QB misses the ball or drops it or gets a snap just like this kid did. As far as having people back,  MSU had no one back so it wouldn't have mattered so that's flawed as well. There were :10 left, no one for MSU was back so as I have stated many times, the kid should have taken 1 step, not his usual rugby. Once the snap was low, people have been saying he should have ran out the clock, sorry but there was too much time. I have said this in a number of threads, either the coaches didn't drill it in his head or they did and he panicked. Said this also in a number of threads, you fall on it and you leave a low % hail mary to beat you. It comes down to the coaches failing to coach him up or the kid panicked and didn't do what they told him. But pooch punt and having people back on this play did no good. 

I lost a lot of money cause of Michigan. Put me on tilt.
