Like last week, the O and D have been completely dominant, but the special teams, yeesh.  Urbs coaches the special teams, and I'm worried he won't last the season if it keeps up

How could Harbaugh not figure out til now Higdon was his best TB?
Great coach. Not sure he's the best when it comes to personnel. Don't think his eye in that department is the greatest. Higdon is by far the best between the tackles runner out of him, Evans, and Isaac. Evans isn't really a true RB- he's more of a poor mans Curtis Samuel. Isaac is the most frustrating back ever. So much talent in that size but he's always had trouble hanging onto the ball and he runs like he's 5'8, 160 - not 6'3, 230. He should run so much harder and physical than he does but he just refuses too.  

Chris Evans is a prime example of this. He's not a RB you line up in I-formation or single back. Yet he keeps using him like this. 

Meanwhile AJ Dillon- the 6'1, 240 pound RB commit he told had to play LB and basically pushed into the arms of Boston College- just ran for 272 yards and 4 TD's against Louisville as a true freshman and literally ran over Louisiville defenders. Harbaugh has a 6'3, 235 RB in Ty Isaac. Except Isaac runs like he's 5'9, 160. Ya think they could use a big back who runs like a big back?

Yeah, I appreciate his passion for special teams, but wish he'd quit pretending to be some sort of special teams guru.
He's following up Tressel, fergawdsakes. Now that was a special teams guru.

That was a really weak holding call that killed that Nebraska drive. Crowd finally looked like they were getting into it after that great run- then wham. 

I hate officials. A lot. They should only call holding and PI that are absolutely egregious. Everything else- let them play.

That said, the kicker just set a Big Ten record for consecutive extra points made.

Reporter- "DJ, I know you can't talk much about officiating, but will you be talking to the B1G office this weekend......" 

DJ- (EMPHATIC) "Yes, absolutely, absolutely. I mean, wow....absolutely."

Reporter - "Do you want to talk anymore about it?" 

DJ - "I mean, anyone who watched the game knows, I mean there isn't anything more to say, I mean it's, there's not anything more to say, anyone who watched that game.....wow."
