And the "upset" happened in the Big House. Henne's "injury" was the best thing that could have happened to the wolverienes

Anthony Morelli happened-he's HOT GARBAGE and a total disgrace to the QB position. (I know the heat Italian Americans take as QB's--but it had to be said)
Morelli is the reason Penn State didn't win this game, said he would be and he'll be reason they lose another game/two that they have no business losing.

Hey, where's Mike Hart from? Syracuse, which shouldn't be held against him. He was heavily recruited by Cuse and chose not to go there.

Morelli was terrible, but the rest of the roster did their part, too. Fumbles in the red zone, penalties in the red zone, getting owned by the UM O-Line. Pretty poor showing for the Nitanny Lions. And whoever said Henne's injury helped Michigan, not so sure about that. Mallett was nothing special today, his numbers (16-30-169 with a pick and 0 TDs) are as mediocre as Henne's in the first two games of the season. The kid doesn't throw a great ball either -- unless you are just a huge fan of velocity. He'll improve with more PT, but Henne should get the job back once he's healthy.

Scott's fumble was bad but Morelli gave Michigan a 7-point lead. And if the D-line, who was out there for twice as long as Michigan's D because of Morelli, was owned then Mike Hart must be awful. If Mike Hart averages 3.5 yards per carry any other time this year I'll be floored. Morelli is terrible. He just has to do nothing and instead does something stupid. Mallett was slightly better than Morelli and he's a true freshman making his second start. That's all you have to know.

Well, at least in football season he's daydreaming about Britney Spears. During basketball season it's all about Greg Paulus, Jon Scheyer, Coach K, Gerald Henderson, Kyle Singlar, Demarcus Nelson etc.

Anyone else want to point out that yesterday had not one, but two QBs throw for 550+ yards and lose? Brohm with 555 and Graham Harrell with 646 for Texas Tech. Three of the top five passing games in modern history have been by Tech QBs now. I don't care if the quality of play is better in the NFL, the fact that absurd statlines like that are possible in college makes me much more interested in it. Well, that and the possibility of coaches freaking out at the local media. Speaking of which, Mike Gundy, take it away...

During basketball season it's all about Greg Paulus, Jon Scheyer, Coach K, Gerald Henderson, Kyle Singlar, Demarcus Nelson etc. This was odd--I was flipping around and didn't see this but my goodness that was sad--especially when Blackledge said "why does this matter?-is she here?". Earlier in the game, Patrick had made a comment about Blackledge's list of teams with best uniforms--and said "I think you should've included Notre Dame--I especially like the green uniforms" to which Blackledge said "Ugh--I don't mind the blue ones-but the Green ones are ugly" and Patrick said like an intimidated/insecure dork--"You are right--the Blue ones are better". Why would this matter? Is Patrick so friggin insecure he can't make an opinion and stick with it? I really have never liked him--but hearing that Brittany Spears thing really is a cause for concern-that was beyond odd--it was sad.

Some general thoughts on the weekend: 1. Big 10 is worse then last year--and Ohio State is likely going to win this league again. They could even go undefeated again. If that team makes the National Title game this year--it'll be a bigger blowout than what happened last year. Do I think they are a great team? HELL NO. Do I think their schedule is set up to win out? You know it. I am hoping someone will beat them--if not a few teams--but I just don't see teams in Big 10 with enough athletes and those that have them--I don't trust---Illinois, Wisconsin, PSU, and Michigan. 2. LSU has a fantastic team this year--but the only thing that could screw them up--the dual QB thing. I like the kids as QB's--but to me they screwed up yesterday on offense with the rotation--they left a lot of points on board--and what works for one team (UF last year) doesn't always work out for another. Crowton did this when he was at Oregon--and I think Oregon looks so much better with Dennis Dixon knowing he's the QB this year then looking over his shoulder/sharing the load--and I think LSU's guys are both worthy of starting--but it's type of thing that can lose a game--even UF did a year ago--and from what I've seen--I'm not sold that only one team will be undefeated. Think we're heading for a season where one team makes it undefeated and it's going to be an overmatched blowout opponent on other end--hope I'm wrong-but if WVU beats USF this weekend--I don't see them losing this year and I don't think they are equipped to stop anyone ranked ahead of them who should make it unscathed-USC, LSU, UF, or OU--although I'd betting on LSU or OU being undefeated more then USC. 3. How long before Dave Wannestadt is fired? He's awful--just awful as a Head Coach. Good Assistant--lousy Head Coach. 4. Kirk Herbstreit's comments on the Big 10 during Iowa-Wisconsin game were spot on--"This isn't great defense--it's really, really BAD OFFENSE" . 5. Alabama is taking the torch from Arkansas as Excitement team in SEC--they've got a 7/8 OT game in them in upcoming weeks. 6. Louisville and Nebraska have to play in a bowl game--it could be 107-100 with those defenses on the field. 7. The Pac 10 conference rules--everything about it--the funky/quirky announcers, the hot chicks, the games, 20,000 fans that pack the sidelines-not the bleachers--the sidelines each game. I've never seen more people on the sidelines then at a Pac 10 game--it's insane. That league is like a game and television sitcom in one. Pure laughter/entertainment. 8. SEC is great as well--but for pure football and hot chicks! LOL 9. Notre Dame has almost half of their offensive plays for zero to negative yards--that is something that is hard to do if you try. Weis thanking Mark D'Antonio for not running up the score after the first 0-4 start in school history had to be what NBC/ND had on their minds after the 10 year extension. 10. Anyone who coaches immediately after John L. Smith looks like a genius--simply because they bring discipline and avoid the stupidity that is John L. Smith. Michigan State has a fine coach--but he looks even smarter after the mishaps that John L creates. 11. Why is there a Big 10 network if every friggin game is going to be ABC, ESPN, ESPN-2? Show that crap football on their crappy network and get some other games on. I didn't mind PSU-Michigan--but there is no need to EVER see a Golden Gopher game make it's way to a national network. EVER. 12. Tim Brewster is the biggest doofus to ever set foot on a college campus--the new Gopher coach is just a total goon. Last but not least--why does ABC/ESPN insist on taking the focus away from the game--and always focusing on worthless things that have nothing to do with the sport or teams involved? Roger Goodell interviewed during the USC-WSU game--why? What purpose did that serve? Hyping their awful MNF announcing team/games? Disgusting. Their placement of the Rock to announce starters for Wisconsin? Oh--that's right he's got a Disney produced movie coming out this week. UGH!!!!

He compared this (i think correctly) to Esh's comments. Simply amazing. I'd like to point out that Mike Gundy is someone's child, not a professional, and he can't coach at all - and yes I am kicking him when he's down.

WHAT? Penn State didn't have as much to play for? Michigan pretty clearly was hungrier for the win than was PSU. Being embarassed at home, twice, with sky high expectations has that effect sometimes. And Lloyd Carr is less of a negative than is JoPa. Seriously, if Morelli is gonna be your QB your playbook should be draw, draw, draw, punt.

Also, thanks Louisville for proving you are a fluke. Thank you Ball State for dropping the ball. The Gundy comments were great. If Alabama "rises again," the SEC is gonna have serious problems. Seriously, somebody get Saban to the WAC.

If Mike Hart averages 3.5 yards per carry any other time this year I'll be floored. Morelli is terrible. He just has to do nothing and instead does something stupid. Mallett was slightly better than Morelli and he's a true freshman making his second start. That's all you have to know. Full Disclosure: Was flipping between the TTU-OSU shootout and PSU-Michigan. Saw a lot more of the 2nd half than the 1st in the latter game. Guess I looked at Hart's total yards in the box, not yards/carry. (Of course, Woody Hayes would say that 3.5 yards/carry=how you win in the Big Ten.) Other thoughts on this weekend: Nebraska embarrasses the Big 12 for the 2nd straight week. The really embarrasing thing is, the Huskers still stand a good chance of making the conference title game. Still don't like Al Groh as U. Va.'s coach, but look at the 3-1 Cavs schedule (next 3 games: Pitt, MTSU, UConn) and tell me Virginia isn't bowl-bound this season. Speaking of Pitt, agree with RDF that it is amazing how completely and utterly Wanny the 'Stache has run that program into the ground. It is going to be hard to recruit when you're bringing HS kids to a gigantic, empty Heinz field. 5 TOs for the Panthers yesterday. If those kind of stats and the season don't turn around for Wannstedt's team, he is gone at the end of the season. WVU had trouble in some early games last season. In one of those, they let ECU stick around for three quarters. Not so this season -- the Mountaineers have rolled through every opponent so far. WVU has a few tough BE road games, but it looks more and more like the 'eers will get through the regular season unscathed. It's looking like a down year for a Navy squad that needed a last-second FG to beat Duke. Texas Tech wins the "Cougin' It" award for this week. The Raiders racked up 718 yards of total offense, but couldn't get the one first down they needed to run out the clock in the 4th quarter. Then, with a chance to win the game in the closing seconds, Michael Crabtree (who I can't really rag on, he was great for the rest of the game) dropped a pass that hit him in the pads in the end zone. Sad loss because Graham Harrell was an absolute surgeon with the football on Saturday, but his performance was wasted due to Tech's sham of a defense. The Big Ten is so wide open this year it's not even funny. Have a feeling it's going to be one of those years where everyone has two losses and it comes down to the tiebreaker (which is always interesting in the Big Ten because of the scheduling). Agree the conference is down, but at least the fight for a Rose Bowl appearance will be interesting. Wisconsin is not getting through their schedule without a couple Ls if the Badgers continue to play like last night. Ohio State and Michigan are solid, but not that solid. PSU could be right in the mix. And honestly, there are a couple darkhorses like Purdue that have a shot, too. Houston Nutt, follow Frank Broyles right out that door. Texas did not look particularly sharp against Rice, Rice just looked really bad. Saw a couple of offensive line mistakes, and the LBs still don't look sharp. Still some tuning up to do entering Big 12 play, hope the coaching staff can get things fixed before OU. Not sure if I want to jump on this bandwagon, but 4-0 Kansas has been absolutely blowing out their cupcake opponents. Mangino has 2 weeks to prepare for K-State in Manhattan, we'll see if the Jayhawks are for real then. If I could kick a school out the Big 12, it would be Iowa State, which lost at Toledo yesterday. How did the Cyclones lose? By fumbling away 7 points in the 4th quarter and then missing a 39 yard field goal that would have won the game. Big win for the Georgia Dawgs, but Stafford is still not the supergreat QB UGA fans promised he would be this season. Liked 'Bama's intensity out there, but how many times do we have to hear about this 4th quarter conditioning program? Also not sold on John Parker Wilson (although "he's a winner" according to Mr. Patrick) Think both these teams will be okay going forward and both will make bowls, but there are better teams in the SEC than these two. That Stanford upset "pick" didn't look bad at halftime, but that dream ended pretty quickly.

Here's the column Gundy was ranting about: newsok.com/article/3131543FWIW, I did wonder why Bobby Reid (who has more talent than Robinson) wasn't behind center for the 'Pokes on Saturday, but Carlson goes overboard in "explaining" things.
