Sept 17th @ ND

[Sbee]

I agree! Feed LJ the ball, play solid defense and we should leave ND with a win. I'm thinking it'll be 28-24 Spartans! It's game day!!!

Judging by what we've seen it will be more passing to set up the run than run to set up the pass. I think their deficiency is in the secondary with two starters out, one suspended and one injured. Their pass defense is like ours last year with all of those starters out, we just need to take advantage of it. I also read that their center looks like a weak link on their OL, they have two potential 1st rounders at left tackle and guard, so look for Malik to play primarily at DT or DE opposite those two.

All that considered I still think it's more than likely that ND wins, too many unknowns for MSU and the game is in South Bend. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised tonight but I'm not expecting a win. The win would be nice but doesn't mean a ton, if we were to run the table in the big ten we'd make the CFP, but winning the big ten will be our main goal for this season.

From what I have heard, ND's weakness on D is their secondary and their strength is their front 7. The guy I was listening to said they can be beat via the long pass.

Not sure if MSU can win but I felt confident enough in MD that I took them +7.5

Run on every first down. It's so predictable. You can sellout every time!!!

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

And O'Conner stares down a receiver and is picked....

 

[SpartyNash]

Holy shit I hate the Terry wildcat play, everyone knows he won't throw it so it's easy to defend.

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

Stop switching the QBs...it just ruins the rhythm.

 

[lucke]

Finally get a turnover... Time to do something with it

 

[SpartyNash]

What a grab! Terrible throw

 

[JScottWriter]

Great play by Corley!

 

[lucke]

Like that. TD Spartans, and the 2pt conversion

 

[JScottWriter]

Pull and Oregon and take the lead.

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

What a turnaround! Donnie Corley is the real deal!!!

What a turnaround! Donnie Corley is the real deal!!!

He is a stud as a freshman.

 

[lucke]

What a turnaround! Donnie Corley is the real deal!!!

Yup, needs to be playing more

 

[lucke]

Fumble, state ball

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

Need a score here. Have to take advantage of their mistakes

 

[lucke]

Bad series, but great punt

 

[JScottWriter]

Shelton needs to learn how to field a punt.

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

Dantonio was definetely keeping Corley a secret that first game. What a stud!!!

 

[lucke]

Very good drive going now. Just hope we can cap it off with a TD instead of a FG
