Sunday Ruminations #Spartans Improvement at QB/WR but obvious problem is lack of run game – answer to a large extent is improved O line play

Sunday Ruminations – #Northwestern – The way Mick McCall OC is using Colter/Mark in his scheme is genius – getting most out of both

Sunday Ruminations #Buckeyes If evaluating as a championship team they got better on defense but still to dependent on B. Miller to be elite
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) September 30, 2012
Sunday Ruminations – #Pennstate – Hard to gauge how much Matt McGloin being named starter before camp has help him – my guess a big bunch
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) September 30, 2012
Sunday Ruminations – #Pennstate – 173 yds rushing after 29 yds of sacks deducted is a great indication of how PSU has improved from game 1
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) September 30, 2012
Sunday Ruminations – #Purdue With the troubles PU had yesterday with the Marshall offense – the Denard offense will be a challenge for sure
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) September 30, 2012
Sunday Ruminations – #Purdue – Marshall is one of those teams that can be very good and dangerous not good to have on the schedule -good win
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) September 30, 2012
Sunday Ruminations – #Badgers – Best game they played this year – great effort -played like a team that can still make it to Indy
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) September 30, 2012
Sunday Ruminations – #Badgers – If UW can stay drama free for the rest of the season schedule lays out nicely – Ill home, @Purdue Minn home
