I rest my case that PPF grades are a joke.

I finally had a chance to rewatch the 1st half. The no good very bad worst series ever that we were previously discussing had 2 Gunner Gottula blunders… (was actually in the 2nd quarter, but that’s neither here nor there)

1st down - MSU sends a safety blitz off the left side. It appears that it was Pritchett’s responsibility. He turns away from the DE when he sees the safety coming but it’s way too late at that point and chases him to the QB. I’m no expert, but that appeared to be on Pritchett.

2nd down - MSU only rushes 4 players. DE (#41) totally abuses Pritchett and bull rushes him into the QB. 100% on the oline, no other way to slice it.

3rd down - (Now 3rd and 22) False start on Gottula.

3rd down - (3rd and 27) Bad snap by Jenkins and Gottula gets completely worked by the DE (#9) and DR gets smashed and his helmet ripped off for a 15 yd loss. Could’ve been a penalty on #9 but it wasn’t called. (Now 4th and 42)

4th down - Worthless 26 yd punt into the wind by Archie Wilson.


I don’t care what PFF says, that whole shit show of a series was entirely on the offensive line and 2 of the bone head plays on that series were by Gottula.
