00:01so kyle whittingham after the game and he fires jason back yesterday but we'll see if it makes
00:06any any difference the choice of uh uh jim harding uh as oc speaks to me a little bit
00:13about there's nobody with experience doing it and he could have gone with somebody else there's some
00:18young coaches on the offensive side of the ball i guess it could have been tony alford the the
00:22running back coaches who've got a lot of experience but i suspect that um the the idea is they were
00:29calling plays that didn't suit this offensive line and you know the during the game um i i can't
00:37remember as as bad a performance by a michigan offense you know what i can't remember i can
00:44remember and there are similarities to this era and the struggles that rich rod was going through rich
00:49rod they could score points they couldn't stop anybody and they played poorly on special teams
00:55and that's one of the weirdest things is that kyle whittingham built a reputation is running a
00:59program with great special teams and they have not been great from the the field goal doink and the
01:04field goal kicking falling apart and they've missed five in the last three weeks many of them short
01:10to in the exchange of punts like michigan state in the exchange of punts was getting 10 15 20 yards
01:17and in a in a game like that where both teams have their challenges those hidden yards are huge and
01:25and michigan state put together to their credit and again the michigan defense does everything it can
01:30but to their credit michigan state put together a 10 minute plus drive
01:36that when they're backed up on the one yard line and it was six nothing and michigan had some life
01:41and the strength of their team is their defense michigan state put together a i think it was a
01:4617 play off top of my head 17 play drive with two pass attempts and took 10 minutes off the
01:52clock
01:52and resulted in a field goal that was impressive if you for michigan state and it was
02:01depressing i mean that was a in many ways it was a kill shot yeah in that game it's it
02:06was i i said to
02:07my friends who are watching the game here this is you know what this reminds me of this reminds me
02:10of
02:11when michigan state beat iowa in the big 10 championship game and they had that crazy
02:16last drive of the game that went forever yeah and then the uh the the touchdown from a yard out
02:22where almost was swiped out of his hand but uh took the second shot at it it was uh it
02:28was a lot like
02:28that and you know this game is reminiscent of a bunch of games yeah the one we talked about it
02:33last
02:33week the 12 10 michigan win back in 2013 or whatever it was um you know bunch of field goals
02:40but
02:40they add up field goals add up and you know you kick five of them you got 15 points and
02:45that's
02:45that's enough and um i know that they're i don't know if we want to open the can of worms
02:51with the
02:51whole two-point philosophy thing i mean we can i don't think people are you know as concerned about
02:57it today as they are just the overall state of the program in the end i've argued forever you go
03:01for
03:01too early because you need to know what you got to do even if it's late in the game and
03:04there you don't
03:05have any inherent better chance of making a two-pointer with two minutes left or two seconds
03:09left no and the only the reason that i always and i respect your opinion on it and that's we
03:14agree
03:15to disagree on this the thing i've always said is that i think the edge is that there's a
03:19psychological edge at the end of the game that that puts more pressure on the defense to try to
03:25stop because they know oh crap we got that they get this two-point conversion we're tied or we're
03:30losing so that's why i like to do it 248-539-9797 feedback coming in as we go to unnamed
03:39texter
03:39champ amanra st brown he's just steady eddie chump assar if he's going to be passive on offense this
03:45year it's going to be a long season man he has to learn to score um yeah i mean amanra
03:52is what he is
03:53we it's in many ways i don't think detroit takes him for granted uh he's so freaking reliable he's
04:02so incredibly reliable he is uh he's what he had eight catches for 80 something yards in the game
04:09anytime they needed a big play they just dial it up to number 14 and and he just he just
04:14catches
04:14everything that's thrown to him uh even he had the one on the sidelines where he caught it only had
04:18the one foot in bounds but that was a hell of a catch hell of a throw too that was
04:23the pi the p the
04:24pass interference one yeah um but even that one was caught he's he's got great hands and he's a great
04:30competitor for this team and hasn't scored a touchdown like five games or something
04:36but he must suck yeah team keeps right team keeps running despite it yeah no the thing is when you
04:42watch like football around the league a lot and i know you watch red zone stuff like that gator but
04:46any
04:46you know the primetime games it really is underappreciated how how great of hands i'm out
04:52around st brown has because you see a lot of drops around the league man and it's just
04:56like straight drops like ted john tez johnson had a couple last night jamo he mistimed another ball
05:03that was weird like right yeah exactly um but it happens throughout the league and
05:09st brown it just doesn't happen so last year when he had a couple of those drops i was like
05:13whoa
05:13what is this you catch everything so yeah to be able to depend on him huge uh champ michigan state
05:21chump michigan not much to add we all lost precious hours of our lives watching that that's from an
05:26unnamed texter brian and rochester says champ blades brown winning on the pga tour as a teenager in a
05:33playoff yesterday chump university michigan head coach kyle whittingham for having absolutely no clue
05:38about the rivalry game and choosing not to have his players prepared for it on saturday
05:41blade shot uh what a 63 i think in the final day in cabo or wherever where it was they're
05:47playing
05:47my goodness diddy yeah 63 wow did you watch it i happened to catch like 10 minutes of the replay
05:56last
05:56night look at you uh champ michigan state's kicker chump michigan's kicker from an unnamed texter
06:04yeah the uh the display by liam boyd from michigan state was uh was impressive and he's been
06:10impressive all season long um he's 16 of 19 this year uh in kicking field goals as long as only
06:1951 but
06:19he's got leg i mean because one of the things i do pregame is watch the kickers and see how
06:24far
06:25they're good out to he's got leg for beyond 51 oh yeah um and jacob baggett was a true freshman
06:32they
06:32opened up the kicking competition after trey bakowski had missed four of his last six attempts
06:38baggett won it and i watched baggett through warm-ups and he's got plenty of leg he kicks a
06:44tall ball if that even matters but gets good height he does get good height he um well it's important
06:51because you got to get it over that line quickly if you can do that that's great but you know
06:55it
06:55speaks to the difference between what it's like in pregame and what it's like in the game he didn't
07:01seem to have any problems in pregame he gets at a game it's very well within his his reach but
07:06the
07:06fact that they even had to try a field goal once again they were in a third and short situation
07:13inside the 10 it had a disastrous play and you could argue that that disastrous play in a scoreless game
07:22at that time on a third and one and everything that's said today credit michigan state for blowing
07:26it up but that's another example of michigan having early in a game a disastrous third and one play
07:32like they did against indiana that if you score a touchdown the way the indiana game went and the
07:38way the michigan state game went would have been huge in that game and it would have been huge in
07:45the indiana game 248-539-9797 let's get back to your phone call stan in shelby township hello stan
07:54hey good morning guys it's been a minute baseball season's over but i do have a couple of uh champs
08:01and
08:01chumps with football i'm really happy for michigan state going from a two touchdown underdog to have
08:08a great win on a uh opposition's field forget about all the problems they have they move their program
08:16forward and i think pat Fitzgerald is going to have more success that's my champ now my chump is a
08:23little
08:23more confusing okay which i've done to you guys in the past what's his name hutchinson i think he got
08:32held like two or three times and we got holding penalties my chump is the nfl why don't they pay
08:40attention and keep records of defensive players who are held on passing plays preventing because i think
08:48they're just as good as sacks because they they get a 10 yard loss and i think the nfl should
08:55change their
08:56ways and give credit to team guys that uh get held uh you know just like they do sacks what
09:02do you guys think
09:03well i don't i don't know if the nfl has to do it i'm sure coaching staffs pay attention to
09:07it and you're right
09:08it's it's a an astute observation that uh getting a holding call against you is as good as a sack
09:14i mean oh
09:14no it's no it's brilliant because it is it's a 10 yard loss uh you don't lose the down but
09:19it's a 10
09:19yard loss nonetheless and i i think it's uh it's um it's something the nfl won't i don't know if
09:25they're ever going to recognize but coaching staffs know yeah it's i just think that it's an unreported
09:32uh positive thing for defensive guys they work their butt off they get held and all of a sudden they
09:39don't get the the accolades that's my thing but thanks for taking my call guys
09:43i gotta tell you it's a thought i've had in my head for a long time and haven't ever expressed
09:49it on the air holding calls drawn is a legitimate statistic and in fact it's on the list of things
09:57i want to ask hutch about today when he comes on at 12 30 thank you so much yes is
10:03is do i'll pay
10:05attention good good 12 30 uh aiden hutchinson holding calls drawn is a is it should be
10:13a stat um and and like you said is it kept somewhere i i'm somewhere is somebody yeah
10:20espn next gen stats has it so excuse me uh 248-539-9797 we have our championship nominations
