Jake Rudock.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:14 PM ^
They always "get up" for us, it's their Superbowl. Think of the JLS years. They fielded terrible teams yet always seemed to take us to the brink.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:12 PM ^
Okay I figured it out...
Keep talking shit about IU and they do good things.
Fuck IU!
October 24th, 2015 at 6:12 PM ^
"MSU doesn't look very good."
Should tell us something about our ceiling. Michigan is quite good, but we're not a playoff-quality team. I'm ok with that; if we can find a good QB next year, I think we have a chance, even with the two biggies on the road.
And I believe we can beat OSU this year.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
I disagree. If you look around the country, no team has really separated themselves from the pack.
We could easily do well in the CFP if given an opportunity.
Shiet LSU looks the most complete and they can't throw.

To be fair, a lot depends upon matchups. The problem I believe we have is that we just can't execute reliably on offense when we need to; neither our running game nor our passing game is good enough to be counted on to make the plays we need against good teams every time, and that has already cost us.
That's just where Michigan is right now.
To be fair, I think LSU is overrated; their Florida win was good, but their passing game is notably inconsistent. Could we beat them? Maybe, but I don't know.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:31 PM ^
the lack of a real passing game is the reason that the running game is good but not great.
If rudock could hit some deep throws, then big gainer runs would follow.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:16 PM ^
I don't really think we can beat OSU. Maybe we have a shot with Cardale at QB, but not Barrett. They will score some points on us, Ruddock simply isn't good enough. We would have to have success running the ball, which I am doubtful of.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
Will they score points? Yes. Is Barrett an upgrade? Yes. But our defense is built for that kind of team. The DL, Peppers, Lewis... if they execute as they are capable of, there's a good chance they frustrate the OSU O enough to give the offense a chance.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:21 PM ^
That is why no one should get too down. This team is a good one and the future is bright.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
I can't wait to hear the excuse this week for why MSU didn't play well against another team.
Cook has been fine, I guess, in this game, but their offense looks terrible against a not-good IU unit.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
meanwhile Toledo came back and is now up 31-28 on UMASS going into the 4th
October 24th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^

Way more concerned.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:14 PM ^
1. Northwestern looks a lot better.
2. Nebraska looks worse despite talk about losing by a total of 13 points. Five loses is huge for people who were "upset' with 9-3.
3. Maryland isn't that bad - did we see this kid at QB when we played them?
4. Penn State is OK - Hacklenburg is keeping them in the game
5. IU can play - their QB is critical.
6. MSU is vulnerable on the defensive side, but Connor Cook is the real deal.
The defensive performance of the Wolverines only looks better in light of these efforts.
It also shows that a lot of teams have passing games over 20 yards. Not a knock but shows how far the Big Ten has come. Once only a few teams had a guy who was reliably accurate that deep, but now most teams do.

Is lowering my confidence in Rudock. Dear lord he should have feasted on this secondary. I don't care how pumped on Dantonio gets them, they are bad.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:22 PM ^
Rudock is who he is. MSU is vulnerable in the back end. We knew it before the game, and Michigan didn't exploit it. It was disappointing.
It is also what Michigan is this year. They leave some yards and points on the field, the goal being to win with defense and execution. It has worked pretty well in five games; the execution destroyed us in the other two.

GO ROCKETS!!
October 24th, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
Ugh. Indiana can run at will. Our OL damnit.
October 24th, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
And the Zebras are much more favorable to IU than they were to Michigan last week.

Waste of field position
