Just don't understand USFs O. When you're under talented, the answer is not to pound the ball and try naked boots. Need shotgun, short passes, draws, with the MSU aggressiveness. Then try and stretch the field from there.

Oh wow, this is all that I imagined it would be, this game. Michigan State has a 7-3 lead with a shade over 2 minutes left in the half thanks only to Shilique Calhoun and his ability to scoop things.

Especially after the Bulls got hammered by McNeese State. I figured even Sparty would have 20 by now. Their defense is really good, but there's no way they can hold everyone scoreless or count on 7 to 14 easy points from them.

They should end up with a losing record in conference again and a loss to Notre Dame.

USF's line is also godawful, they have 2 offensive linemen vs 1 defensive linemen there as the QB goes for the corner, and the QB still has to throw it away.

The only time when a Michigan State game will be easy to watch is when they get destroyed by Michigan this year.  They are simply brutal.

That was a good call to run it with how bad the USF QB is.  Better off running it to set up the easy FG than risk a turnover.  7-6 at halftime is good.  Minimize your offensive risks and aim for more turnovers from State.

This is the MSU of 10 years ago - dumb penalties, stupid coaching, weak talent all over the place, only diff is the defense is better but he offense is worse.  At least JOhn L Smith was fun to watch as he was being an idiot.  These Spartans are boring as hell.
