Being that my co-blogger is the biggest U of M fan in the state of Michigan, I'm choosing my words carefully while writing this post. With that said, way to go Irish!!!!! We will take the win, shut out, last game of this long standing rivalry.
I was fortunate enough to be able to watch the game with my co-blogger and best friend Bekki. We anticipated a very different look to this game. We planned on an all out battle like we have observed in many previous seasons. This game looked surprisingly different. Very different. Again, I observed the up tempo pace (despite a time out being called before the first snap on the first possession in the first quarter). Golson appeared to be in complete control and in my opinion this gave other players confidence as well. I look forward to this comfort level growing throughout the season. I was pleasantly surprised with the way the defense attacked and gave their all for 4 quarters. I also think for the most part Brian Kelly looks calm on the sidelines. This is much improved from several years ago. Let's not forget Brain VanGorder's enthusiastic fist pumps! That kind of excitement is contagious!
My Pick 6 players:
1. Amir Carlisle
2. Jaylon Smith
3. Cody Riggs
4. Kyle Brindza
5. Everett Golson
6. William Fuller
Go Irish! Beat Purdue!
