It helps to watch the game though. We had five plays where it was 2nd and short (less than five). Two were passes for first downs one was LJ running for a first down one was Lewerke not seeing the field and having to run for a one yard gain and one was London for a no gain.
So five second and shorts, three passes, two successful one scramble. Two run plays one for a first down and one for no gain. Since we threw on three of five and picked up a first on one run play are you saying he should have called something else on the London no gain? OK. Yeah we should have thrown the bomb.

Careful...Herbie will think that means we should have had London run backwards on that one play.

Lol, those two successful pass plays were on MSU's last possession that resulted in a touchdown, where out of nowhere MSU marched down the field with ease. This was their first touchdown drive since the 1st drive in the game (which was also done by passing). In between we had 3 and a half quarters of no touchdown drives.
I may have been drunk while watching the game but now I can go back and look at the game log.
The first touchdown drive was 6 passes and 1 run. The 2nd touchdown drive was 11 passes and 1 run. I think you said you like scoring touchdowns right?

Is the Penn St. game a program game? If so how many program games can you have in a season?

The program has no business losing to a team like northwestern - no matter how young they are. We are beyond that point and dantonio has set those expectations.

I don't know, but I'm planning to drink a program beer. Every beer is a program beer.

You didn't answer the question. This thread is about looking ahead.

It’s just a disappointing loss, wags. I know you’re stuck in that whole black and white mindset where you’re either satisfied or want dantonio fired - but reality is not exactly like that.

Nah, I just don’t like to get bummed anymore after losses. However this was the first game I was bummed since Nebraska 2015, football or basketball. And I was bummed because the defense let us down imo. I wasn’t even counting on 9 victories but we gave that away because our defense couldn’t get a stop. Against Nortwestern. I saw our offense get some young receivers confidence and then I just didn’t see a very good defense step up when they needed to.

That's how you find the inches right there.

Sounds like we are on the same page. I don’t get like I used to after a loss, as I’ve gotten smarter with age - “bummed” is a good word for it.

Nice bump Nigel. Did you happen to notice anything different about the offensive game plan against PSU vs Northwestern?

No, I didn’t. But I think they’re trying to call plays the other team isn’t expecting.

Haha. Herbie owned you morons. Herbie is brilliant. When he said the MSU coaches are trying to win, you guys had nothing. He thinks at a way higher level.

I will say, it was nice when we stopped trying to force the run with our current o line.

I noticed Coach D was pissed about that audible on 2nd and short.

“This is a program game,” Dantonio said for the second straight week. “You don't want to take any shine … off of this season. We want to go into the bowl season like this (moving his hand upward) going forward.”
