Winners get it done despite possible pain. That showed more about Denard's leadership than all the great plays he has already made. It's one thing to run open field. It's another to know you are about to get your head taken off and you stay and do the job. Well done Denard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8059884704776101239.post-38848286890717028682010-10-08T16:07:35.776-04:002010-10-08T16:07:35.776-04:00The defensive call didn't work but wasn't ...The defensive call didn't work but wasn't this what was Indiana was doing all game? I didn't scrub the tape but Michigan had a number of open deep passes that they didn't connect on. I had guessed this was because they were single covering the WR and walking a DB up to the line.<br /><br />Up to that point it had largely worked because Denard missed on the passes.<br /><br />With 2 TOs and 29 seconds, Denard could run several more times. There's every likelyhood he puts it in the endzone himself--to say nothing of the likely FG attempt.<br /><br />Anyway, nice workimafreakhttp://wolverineliberationarmy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8059884704776101239.post-85035678543855646382010-10-08T15:17:40.935-04:002010-10-08T15:17:40.935-04:00Very well done!

Indiana got pressure with the rush. And while Denard HAS shown he can complete the deep ball, he's also shown he can miss it quite badly. If its me, I'd rather take my chances with Denard throwing up a jump ball than Denard running free. Denard put more air under the ball than usual (maybe on purpose, maybe thanks to the pressure) and Hemingway made the play. The ball also could have been picked off. The play worked out poorly for Indiana, but I think they'd make the same call again...maybe earlier in the drive instead of near the end of it.Lankowniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421144704503213226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8059884704776101239.post-75416203629258351992010-10-08T14:57:37.944-04:002010-10-08T14:57:37.944-04:00Great analysis.
