TCF: Loved it...can't really add much beyond what already has been said for months...will say it would help if they listed the Gate you need to go to on your ticket...and they need to add the Michigan State flag to every other Big 10 team flying high above the visiting sideline...
Tip: Get the seatbacks if you can...well worth it.

Jeff Wills: Looked really good...on the 2nd Weber to Decker TD, he pancaked his guy...moved well...he really impressed me

Dan Orseske: Boomed 2 wonderful punts...3rd punt had a chance to pin it inside the 15 or 10...got it only to the 17...but his leg strength is noticeable

Troy Stoudermire: 2 nice returns, 1 kick, 1 punt...best return man in the Big Ten?

Adam Weber: Like last year...brilliant at times, brutal other times...the 3 interceptions were all on him...on the Rallis int., he had Stoudermire open, but tried to force it to Decker....as wonderful as Decker is, Weber has to learn to trust his other options.

Michael Carter: Collado who for nickelback? Got beat on the 1st play of the game by Decker for a td, but rebounded nicely...2 interceptions.

Other observations: Good to see Barrett Moen get snaps with the first team...he's said to be as hard a worker as there is on the team...it looks like Keanon Cooper will see the field on 3rd downs/passing situations...they will find a way to get his speed on the field it appears. Bennett looked fine to me...finished with 65 yds on 7-carries...Hayo has shiftability....will excite.

Stats
Weber: 14/18 168 yds, 2 tds, 3 interceptions
Gray: 4/7 34 yds
Decker: 5/101/2 tds
Stoudermire: 4/22
Sam Maresh: 3 solo tackles
Lee Campbell: 2 solo tackles, 4 assisted
Cooper: 2 solo, 4 assisted
Brent Singleton: 2 solo, 4 assisted
 


Good ? although shocking if true based on everything we've heard about him since he arrived...I wasn't up in the press box and spent a little bit of time walking around, talking to my neighbors, etc....Lair was definitely the No. 2 TE.
 

He played quite a bit with the 2s on D @ DE, and made a few nice plays. But, before hand was warming up with the TE also.
 

Gotta disagree on Carter's first INT. That one was on the receiver, he was open but did not turn around and look for the ball. I personally am not too worried about Weber turning the ball over too much.

My man crush on Weber has been established so I'm not worried either...will look for replay on the Big Ten Network Gophers recap show tonight or whenever they replay...think it was more on Weber.

Gotta agree mostly with Doogie. I thought he looked great but made a few puzzling throws - the flea flicker comes to mind immediately where he threw an extremely ill-advised pass. MAybe there is more to it than I saw. He'll be fine.
 

Q: Did the big screen go full screen on replays?

Or did it always have the ads and score/time thing on it?

Hageman on defense

Ra'Shede was shifted to DE earlier this week after tearing it up in a test-run on some pass-rush drills. I thought he made some nice plays when he was out there today, but he has a steeper learning curve than ar TE. He is still going to play a little bit of TE, but only in the red zone (jump balls) and in short-yardage. Otherwise, he's playing defense.

Good read, and I hope he does learn to trust his other options as well. The overall talent level at WR has greatly improved and if Weber can learn to trust his other options quickly, they could have a real nasty offense. If he does not, he could self destruct a very potent offense and defenses will tee off on him and Decker. They are no secret around the entire nation.
 

Thoroughly enjoyed today in top of 208!
Question: Where are they going to post the Big Ten scores throughout the day?
thanks in advance.

They had the Twins score from yesterday on the left side of south side scoreboard on the front facade of the upper deck most of the day....I would suspect B10/top 25 scores will be posted there?

We saw that aswell, it didnt impress me to much. I wish they had more room like...

the open space below the big scoreboard and to the right of the play clock would have been a perfect region to place it. I couldnt tell if it was a screen or not, so hopefully itll be there.
