I hope Speights is okay, but you have to go with the hot hand and think that O'Korn has more than proven that he should be the starter based upon meritocracy. <br /><br />What I had observed from the game was that the entire offense struggled with Speights and the defense and special teams had to take up the slack. However, when O'Korn came in, he was hitting his receivers with the easy passes and more importantly he was moving the team and they were scoring TD's looking more like a Michigan offense. Therefore, because the offense was moving the ball and staying on the field in the second half, the defense was able to be even more effective when they played. The offense's success with long drives always helps a good defense succeed (especially on a hot day). <br /><br />I believe this is a good start for the offense and if O'Korn continues to play (IMO), it will help their confidence which is something that they need right now; because they have so many freshman receivers and are still 3/5 of a brand new O-line and so we shouldn't expect O-line dominance "this" year, but we can expect them to round into form and be effective and productive. <br /><br />I know there could be an argument that Purdue was not prepared for O'Korn and that other teams would have a chance to prepare for him, but I would still go with him now because he's earned it.

To me that is a Giant "no-no"... even the announcers commented on the situation. Purdue also helped us by being too "hyped up", and ran out of gas, and made mental errors in second half.<br /><br />Two weeks of practice for O'Korn... O'Korn should be able to eradicate the depleted Spartan's, like a bunch of loathsome cock-roaches.ScottyDoggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850019343936737416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-69837194899488873722017-09-24T14:18:02.552-04:002017-09-24T14:18:02.552-04:00Interesting point Gregory: You made me think of a...Interesting point Gregory: You made me think of a perfect example: is our own Brady, he started to cover an injury(forgot name of injured quarter back), and the rest of the story goes along with his collection of super bowl rings.ScottyDoggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850019343936737416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-2335330230341153492017-09-24T11:21:58.141-04:002017-09-24T11:21:58.141-04:00I thought about the legendary Lou Gehrig's opp...I thought about the legendary Lou Gehrig's opportunity to play in the NY Yankee line-up after an injury. The Iron Man began his run into baseball history. This is not to say John O'Korn's opportunity to start at quarterback is on the same level as that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407428205560024513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-33409849073281470122017-09-24T10:35:38.852-04:002017-09-24T10:35:38.852-04:00Well written article that covers all bases, so I c...Well written article that covers all bases, so I can not continue ranting... except:<br /><br /> Harbaugh is a "near God" to us, it saying > that he is not infallible... in saying that, we are lucky to have him.<br /><br /> my case in point is the 1980 season, where Michigan got off to a 1-2 start... the next home game the Michigan crowd erupted in a monotone chant... Wangler... Wangler... Wangler! What I am trying to say is, you do not have to be a rocket scientist to see a solution to a problem. We were just Fan's; but Wangler led us to 3rd place finish in the polls, and the 1980 season was considered by Bo to be one of his most satisfying!ScottyDoggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850019343936737416noreply@blogger.com
