Official 1st Half Thread

Whatever happens I'm glad at least they've put up a fight unlike last year

Yes. Last year we broke as a team right at the begging of the second quarter against upper parts of our schedule. This is very positive.

Don't like it. You have one TO. At least go for the FG.

We are lucky to be in this due to a lot of MSU miss queues. That will run out. We need to take our opportunities when we can find them. Especially since MSU will be starting with the ball in the second half.

No turn over on our side of field. Why not keep possession and lead going into half.

We have been more aggressive overall tonight. I don't mind being conservative there.

Wait a minute, rucoe. Caroo is better than any reciever they have, and I'll stack up our stable of RBs to theirs. QB? yeah, big difference. But other than QB, it's the DLs and OLs where they excel and our secondary can't overcome lack of pass rush (or just plain can't cover).

Mets up 2-0 on 2 HR in the 2nd. Could be another K fest as 3 Dodgers struck out in the 1st 4 outs

MSU isn't as good as last year and frankly most of the teams in conference on are schedule aren't. I'd say Michigan is probably the best looking team in the B10 to date and the team on our schedule who looks much better this year over last year.

This game isn't a huge surprise. The amount of blitzing yes, to me at least is surprising but not us hanging around. I said I think we have a better chance of hanging around then you think compared to most years playing the #4 team in the country. Doesn't mean we couldn't have been blown out but definitely a better chance of hanging around and after that anything is possible.

Just look around there aren't any dominant teams in college football, most are susceptible. Oklahoma lost to Texas. TCU is losing right now 35-17. Miami is within a TD of FSU. Arkansas is winning 7-3 against Alabama. Teams are hanging around against supposedly much better and higher ranked teams. If you hang around then anything is possible.

Pritz - their receivers look really good and all appear to have good hands.

Amazing just how much more talented Michigan St. is, particularly at skill positions.

Really? They have someone any more talented than Carroo. Protect the QB and Leonte will have a field day.

Burbridge IS a beast, but 'll take Caroo." I have seen their receivers open and passes not completed. Is Cook overrated?

Coach Norries is much better than Fraud.

Blitzing and going for it at 4th and lon. Love it.
