As pissed off as I am about that catch getting overturned, I'm much more angry with the awful coaching decisions that Beamer made during that game.
1. I know the Logan Thomas sneak has been ridiculous at times this year, but when your defense is flat out dominating Michigan, kick the mother
ing field goal. As conservative as Beamer is 99% of the time, how does he not just take the points?
2. Again, lights out defense, why even come after the punt? Tech had totally demoralized the Michigan offense for the entire first 29 minutes of the game. Denard looked like a shitty Division III quarterback against Bud Foster's defense. I know Beamer is known for special teams, but let's be honest, I haven't seen VT special teams be all that special in
years. When they lined up with everyone on the line of scrimmage, I said to my friends who were watching with me "Jesus, don't run into the damn kicker" and no doubt, that's exactly what happened. The score should have been 9-0 at halftime.
3. Fake punt on the 50 when your defense is playing like they got rabies on the way to the game and have been foaming at the mouth all night? Are you
ing kidding me?
If you showed me the following stats, I would never believe that Michigan won this game.

But having the better team on the field means nothing, when the coach wants to make terrible decisions.
Put together a program that has the most wins out of any team in the country since 1995, but whenever you get them into a big game, act like you're confused on the sideline. Pretty much exactly what I'm used to with Beamer.
[quote name='gbpackers94']Either Stanford was a lot better than I thought or Oklahoma state would have gotten blown out in mnc.[/QUOTE]
Stanford was just as bad as you thought they were. Ok State started really flat in that game. Stanford had OSU down 14-0 and in a total of 2 minutes and 9 seconds of possession time in the second quarter OSU scored 2 touchdowns to tie it up.
Stanford's best win was a triple overtime victory at USC, a team who got blown out by Arizona State and taken to the limit by Minnesota at home.
If the raging Andrew Luck hard on wasn't so strong within the media, they would have been ranked #7 behind LSU, Bama, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Boise, and Arkansas.
