Mullen said since he didn't practice all week, he was available only in emergency.
Where did you hear that?

Quote from Dan..
"
He was cleared to play, and he practiced this week,” MSU coach Dan Mullen said. “The sprained ankle is one of those, again in situation, if he didn’t have to play he wasn’t going to, which allowed him to be very healthy getting into next week.”
Dan should have played him, he needed to play. Just like Dak needed to play in the Bowl game last year.
Either DAK can't throw thew ball accurately more than 15 yards down the field, or Dan is an idiot for not airing it out.
You have to take shots down the field to keep defenses honest, or they will stack the box on you so you can't run effectively.
I am sick and tired of our offensive game plans. It's way too predictable.
