Once is a flook, twice is a problem

I was willing to write off the GT game as rookie jitters combined with a snowball effect. Then yesterday happened, and now, well... let's just say, it looks like we're hosed this year. I had been expecting that some of these so called "talented fat men" that Weis has been bringing in would be able to, you know, block someone once in a while. Maybe open a hole for a run that leads to a play up the gut that goes more than 4 yards. Might be nice. Weis isn't beyond reproach either- pretty much the entire game, there wasn't a play called with any chance to go more than about 8 yards. There were about 2 downfield throws made (though there were a couple of times when Clausen had about 9 days to sit in the pocket and still ended up either eating the ball and getting sacked or scrambling to nowhere).

On the plus side, instead of going into a top five ranked UM next week, we're playing a team that got beat by a I-AA team (which may be the equivalent of a mid- to upper-level MAC/WAC team, but these jackasses voting them in the top 25 this week need their ballots revoked) and then got blown out early and badly by a halfway decent OU team. So we have a chance. As was pointed out in an e-mail I received, this game is liable to look a little like this:

It certainly won't be a battle of this kind of epic proportion (from the greatest movie ever):
