By-Drive Penn State-Michigan Notes

While watching the game on the couch, I popped open the laptop and took very brief notes. This would be my first time doing it, so bear with me while I relearn note taking skills.

So without further ado:

D-Set 1: Good Run Coverage, good job on the pass coverage on the 3rd down. Props to Will Johnson.

O-Set 1: Grind, grind, Meh TO, and sack. Line musta forgot it was a pass play. Zoltan rocks.

D-Set 2: Hot damn, secondary coverage. Heh, grahm cracker. I'm happy for control of the ball.

O-Set 2: A confidant QB that can run? Wow. TD MALLET! Hoooray Mallet! Hart bought back a botched block on O-Set 1.

D-Set 3: Watch the short pass, damnit. Ahhh, short pass short pass. LB's don't pay attention. Just eat the QB. See what happens when you cover your man?

O-Set 3: Grind, Minor for Pope, good spot on Butler, ick, oooh, I like Mallet.

D-Set 4: Run coverage kicking ass, I think the kids can cover long.

O-Set 4: Good slant run, grind, dart to arrington who holds on, phhhhpt.

-END 1ST QUARTER-

O-Set 4: Continued. Mega-Mallet-Wind-Up interrupted. Zoltan has damn good placement.

D-Set 5: Run shut down, pass fake to run and LB's kinda read it, decent pass, good pressure, LB's drop the coverage, damn it short passes.

Side Note: Penn State Mascot Sucks.

D-Set 9: Grahm with nice coverage, Grahm shunts the run, a little to loose on that coverage, almost, BAH! but a decent penalty, middle jammed with Grahms, Williams right on the reciever, good goal line set up, and good coverage.
