Comments on: Open Thread: Michigan State (now with natural civil war flavoring!) http://www.ourhonordefend.com/2008/10/open-thread-michigan-state-now-with-natural-civil-war-flavoring.php we will fight to the end for O-HI-O, but we can't promise to be any good at it Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:31:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Vico http://www.ourhonordefend.com/2008/10/open-thread-michigan-state-now-with-natural-civil-war-flavoring.php/comment-page-1#comment-1220 Vico Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:29:28 +0000 http://www.ourhonordefend.com/?p=472#comment-1220 Yeah, that's what I kind of had to tell myself when the dust was all settled and the game was still easily won: a minor mix-up and either both Brewster and Rehring's fault or no one's fault (communication breakdown). I probably overreacted, considering the game was still young and I had vivid memories of Rehring's performance against Purdue.

As I saw it, the problem was they both thought they were supposed to get the same guy. Brewster could block him normally. The only way Rehring could reach him was by cutting him (cutting on the backside is a somewhat common prectice, often used by the great Broncos lines circa Terrelle Davis to Clinton Portis). So one of those guys was blocking the wrong guy. Mixup in communication. Might be Rehring's fault, might be Brewster's, or maybe they haven't played together enough and didn't communicate right. re: Chop block called on Rehring.

Good things. Puppies and sunshine and gumdrop smiles and Thaddeus Gibson TDs. Seeeee, see what happens when you blitz a backup QB? Good things.

Just 4 man rushes, and Sparty's offensive line seems to be better at picking them up this half.

Passing plays to Brandon Smith? Blocking from the offensive line? Beanie bunny hopping into the end zone? I can't add enough superlatives for this. This. is. awesome. Passing plays to Brandon Smith?
