Wouldn't you know it. Sherrone Moore. If he cannot embarrass the school in the game he will do it afterward. Blame it on Moore. I hope he is suspended, again. Leaving the bench or sideline for a fight is wrong.
Michigan taunts.
The game. Michigan State has promise but they are not a great team. I missed the beginning, but it was just as expected.

Then, when I finally found it online, Michigan was stopping, even pushing Michigan State backward. They made aggressive, individual, self-congratulating plays. Some of the players don't really tackle, they hit or go for the ball. Sometimes they fail; it is more about opportunity and violence than anything else. This is their trademark.
Josaiah Stewart made a great, smart, play for a fumble. It was working. Aiden Chiles was a little rattled.
That provided some momentum. Then, surprisingly, Davis Warren connected. It was like a psychological trick, the weird clapping ritual before the snap. It worked. He was a different quarterback, decisive and on target, and even a somewhat mobile. Donovan Edwards threatened. Colston Loveland caught. Then Michigan State could not stop Alex Orji. He too was successful. From there Michigan resorted to trickery, flea flicker, halfback pass, and wildcat. It all worked.
Finally, they had a lead. They were actually playing complementary football. Shockingly, Jonathan Smith may have been outcoached.
Sunday morning and I'm letting YouTube guide me through highlights. Colorado is much worse--the guy got a penalty for waving his finger at the Cincinnati defender as he was scoring. Then Hunter did a backflip in the endzone while someone else was dancing. Now he is dancing again, because he is scoring again. I live in Colorado. I do not like this Colorado team.
I'm not real fond of this Michigan team either. I sometimes wish they would remove the names from the jerseys. But I also realize Michigan football has always been about players who can not just handle, but crave the spotlight.
