Remember that first quarter? That was a lot of fun.

by **Code_Warrior** 2015-10-03, 15:15

There was improvement in the running game. I think the RBs are starting to develop. I wasn't happy with the D in the 2nd half. Injuries definitely making an impact.

Piss and moan if you must. If you didn't expect a less than stellar running game after losing RT Kieler, then LT Conklin, today LT Finley and MSU has their All Big Ten center playing LT, I want some of what you're drinking.

Today was supposed to be about adjusting to the new normal and with Finley gone next week is another project week.

I think an argument could be made that MSU is not even the #2 team in the Big Ten. Northwestern and Ohio State could be better. But we have dealt with injuries, have good coaching, and could get things together.

I've been saying that; but I now am bending to the peer pressure that is being applied on this (and other) message board to support the winning team. A team that has won 4 bowl games in a row, and has more wins in the last 2 years than anyone not named OSU or FSU.
Peer pressure is a hateful pressure, next thing you know I will be using heroin, hookers and killing baby seals.

Northwestern looks good, so does Iowa, and so does Michigan. As I've said before, there are no gimmies now that conference play has started. This is going to be a long season, especially with our secondary.

Those 3 are pretenders.

Wisconsin gave Iowa that game, and Michigan didn't look very good in the 1st Half.

Even if Nortwestern and Iowa look good (and are not gimmies), we don't play them.

267 yards rushing... running game and the OL is not the problem, straw man.

Keep in mind that you and I both remember when under Johnelle, Booby, $t Nick, George Ribs Perles, Muddy Darryl & Denny that MSU would lose games like this.

I thought it was 282 yards rushing? Either way, I get that it was raining but we barely passed at all in the second half. Why?

Probably, The ESPN stats may have attributed the punt muff to a man named "Team" who had 4 carries for -34.

Yes. Pretty sure that's exactly the point.

by **GRR Spartan** 2015-10-03, 16:25

yes I watched the game. Miserable conditions and the rushing statistic was impressive.

Ever consider the lack of passing this week was two fold? Decision to grind it out on the ground and effective pass blocking isn't as easy as some think it is. New faces and old face playing a new position.

I have ben around long enough to see MSU teams coached by Rogers, Muddy, George, $ababn, BW and JLS face similar circumstances and lose.

Nothing has changed from Week 1. MSU has to run the table to be in the 4 team playoff. It's still Just win baby.

Do you think that players or coaches read THIS board?

15 undefeated teams in the Power 5 (plus ND)....MSU is one of those.

Green & White controlling their own destiny, just win each of the next 8 games and bingo - playing on NYE.
