A few memorable plays:
Kallerup circus TD catch (BSF first one there to celebrate with him)

Mo with a big push from his friends after coming back into the game

Striggow with a ridiculous read and interception on a screen

Morgan’s helmet getting ripped off and Carroll standing over him to make sure no one landed on him

Stapp with the random blitz that worked perfectly

Kesich The Weapon pounding every kick per usual (he is so under valued)
 


Kinda off-topic, but at the beginning of the Fleck era, I was always nervous as the play clock ticked down. Not anymore. The scheme seems to be line up, look to the sidelines for confirmation, at around 12/13 seconds get serious, hike the ball after 5/6 seconds. I now find myself looking at the playclock and unless it shows 2, I feel it's all under control.

That's an excellent list. I would add:

— Tanner Morgan with a couple of key runs, including one fairly long run for an important first down after we had been backed up by a penalty...

— Two excellent TD catches by Daniel Jackson. I particularly loved the way he came back to the ball on the second one...

— Pass catchers making contested catches all through the game...

— Sori-Marin is a leader, and a beast at tackling...
 




Actually I think he wanted to. He was arguing correctly with the ref that we got out of bounds with the clock still on 1 second.

Am I only one who thinks that the Mich.State player who ripped the helmet off Morgan was coached to “get after the QB”? Noticed he left the field immediately after the foul, never to appear again. That would be par for Mel Tucker.

I really liked how upset he looked when PJ called a timeout due to a defensive misalignment. He seemed to know it was his responsibility and I liked the ownership

?? -- had he not ripped the helmet off it was a sack -- his personal foul didn't really help MSU

He was arguing that the clock shouldn't have started after the penalty. Said he was told differently by one of the other refs....which is why we moved so slowly and burned a bunch of time there.

Agree on Kesich, PJ should have let him try for a FG at the end of the First Half

I wondered the same but I think PJ wanted to avoid any strange outcome that gave Michigan State some momentum/hope.

We had them emotionally / physically beat. No need to gift them anything/ didn’t need the points.

Tanner made a couple of MSU defenders look absolutely foolish on that longer run for a first down. Just a simple juke and they went crashing into each other. Can’t imagine they’ll have a good day watching film.

For the upper deck I could see him moving players around, I was worried the offense would notice and quickly snap the ball. Glad to see his leadership, he got upset because he knows his teammates can do better and know what to do.

KC messed up only once with late call. Play dissolved into chaos with four guys jumping as play clock went to zero and no snap. This was commonplace the last two years.
 

1 - The offensive play calling and execution by Morgan throughout was just amazing. I think the game announcers called it "1000 cuts offense" that wears teams down.
2 - The defense just does not get beat unless it is a meaningless score late. That was a decent quarterback with some talented receivers we shut down.

Add to that punter Crawford could have sat in a lounge chair and drank Pina Colada.

On Morgan's run, the two TV guys thought a flag could have been thrown for feigning a slide. That occurred to me also. The replay made me feel he was lucky not to have hurt himself with that awkward cut.

Speaking of Carroll he has been incredible in supporting his teammates. Always down the field to pickup the downed ball carrier. Nice to see what a good team player he is.
 



Rush crucifying their QB for a fumble in the Case IH Red Zone. This after Coach Tucker guaranteed they’d score o. Their first possession of the second half
 

I liked watching BSF and Geary moving bodies.

The Geary in motion is a nice twist.
