Agree completely on Busch, but to be honest Harbaugh took his foot off the gas early on. He coulda called his score if he wanted to. Still, your point on Busch is well made and I hope he stays on at ST coord.

The defense got much better when Bill took over, if I were Rhule I'd keep him. Thanks for your effort.

They did what they kept doing against us, just ran the ball. Did he instruct them not to run very fast?
Those two long runs by their second unit rb were very simple plays. Same types of plays they ran against NU.

This game is also way different if Thompson plays and we know we aren't going 3 and out every drive.

If he really took the gas off, he wouldn't have kicked a FG with 1 minute on the clock. They just didn't hit the long ball on us.

When Harbaugh got his solid lead his play-calling changed to as vanilla as you can get. Nope, he absolutely dialed it back.
