It wasn’t pretty but there won’t be an asterisk next to last weekend’s win in East Lansing. The only late game special team failure this year was the muffed shovel pass on MSU’s two-point attempt, which Jabrill Peppers (who suffers from lots of knee and elbow sweat based on the sweatbands he wears just south of those joints) scooped up and returned the other way for a touchdown? Or is it a safety? Wait we get two points because we scored on their failed two-point conversion? This prompted a lot of questions in our car coming home from the game. So if we block an extra point attempt and return it to our endzone do we only get one point? How about if we block a field goal attempt? I know you don’t only get three points for that so this is all so confusing.
Is knee and elbow sweat a real thing?
But I digress.
Second to last game in Ann Arbor for the 2016 season is Saturday November 5 at 3.30p when the Wolverines host DJ Durkin’s Maryland Terrapins. Remember last year when there were fun signs about “Durkin’s Donuts” because our defense was holding teams to zero points?
Oops, I digressed again.
