Week 5
Time Management & Emails:
1 D-. 16 D. Students are stupid this season or what ?
Our Game : #17 Indiana (2-0) (-14) at Michigan State (1-2) on TV4
TV has been present for all our games so far this season. Let’s be nostalgic and remember the years where not even local TV5 was covering our games…
Though questionable, Bertram is our only star WR and is starting today. First drive is a ground control clinic, but we stall on their goal line and see PK Cash have his field goal attempt blocked. We make them move backawards and regain the ball within their territory. A few plays later, QB Vallery finds WR Bertram for the first TD of the day : 7-0. After we force a punt, QB Vallery is sacked and we lose his fumble. However, Michigan State is confident enough to go for it on a 4th and 9. No way today. Hugh. Next drive see Vallery miss-throw 2 balls. On the 3rd down, QB Vallery issacked : “INDI 13 Vallery was injured on the play. This appears to be a serious injury”. Warning. Backup QB Clayton is on the field. The play is now very hard as many players are mentioned “injured” on both sides. We still manage to convert a last second FG before halftime to lead : 10-0
Q3 begins more easily as our FB Kaplan shows the way for a RB Wittich big play. FB Kaplan is on the receving end off a QB Clayton TD pass : 17-0. After a punt, we struggle early on our next possession that ends in an awful way as QB Clayton is intercepted, and they return it for a TD : 17-7. RB Wittich is on fire today and helps us stay awake after he scored a long range TD : 24-7. And another one : 31-7. A few meaningless plays later, the final score is 37-14.

Injury Report
OK, now we’re toasted. Our top 2 starting WRs are out for nearly all the season, and now star
Vallery is out 20 weeks with shoulder surgery. I guess, we’ll have to adjust our game plan to use RB Wittich a lot more and throw as many passes as possible to our RB,FB and TEs now.
