Michigan State Highlights

Not bad, gentlemen. Not bad at all.

Is it just me or did they look like the 1990's Power Rangers?

A snippet from the commentator after the winning field goal. Did anyone catch what he was referring to?

On that key run by Fitz to midfield with less than 2:00 to go. Dilithium apparently has ever more innovative uses every week.

I put together a highlight video of Gholston faster than that.

I just watched these twice. I know it's only a rough cut and leaves out a lot of the ugly but a win is a win.

Did better than last year all around, except the red zone, but hey, we won!

Just watched it again focusing only on Tom Gholston and he was a total non-factor.  Now Of course it was a Michigan highlight reel so if he made a good play it wouldn't be there, but at the 4 minute mark true freshman TE AJ Williams is assigned to block him alone and seems to do so with ease.   And on the short yardage running downs he is removed from the field entirely, which seems unusual for a 280 lb DE.

of two 5' 11" players: Denard Robinson and Drew Dileo that defeated Narduzzi's "unnecessary roughness" defense today.

Denard had a decent day on the ground too - 96 yards, 4.8 ypc.

Both teams were pretty even in all stat categories today, except Michigan outrushed MSU for the first time in forever.

usually don't have too many highlites.  Honestly what did MSU have 3-4 highlite worthy plays in the game?

I'm not even sure I want to watch the whole thing again, I will, but seems the moment where Brunettes become important in life is the only real highlite worth watching.

Does anyone know about injuries sustained during the game? Did Raymon Taylor return after injuring his arm on that play down the sideline where he was flagged for pass interference?

How many times the announcer mispronounced Dileo's name? (di LAY oh)? Don't they get pronunciation guides? Somebody corrected him eventually.

WE ARE ALL THE THREAT.

I needed to see the final score again, because as I read some of the threads and comments on this board, I started to think maybe I'd only dreamed that Hoke & Co. earned a victory.

We did WIN, right? As in, the Spartans LOST?

celebration penalties.  He said the flags against the michkey-mouse stuff in the end zones deserves a flag, but what do you expect a bunch of kids to after a game-winner against a rival.

a hyper-extended left elbow.  After watching the replay several times (from my DVR) he braced his fall on that play with his left arm and the elbow gave out.

Dileo might just be the root word of Di-lithium......ah ah......yea it was a stretch at best

It look like the pressure to win may have affected Robinson's passing game. This was big must win since MSU had it's winning streak and we were at home. I'm glad the team came back and won. Next week against NE, Robinson will have a much better game!

enjoyed the sparty that thought the field goal missed and began skipping toward the sideline.

LOL at the ref giving THE THREAT the business for jawing at the db after his first catch

The audio on the BTN always drowns out the crowd noise, unfortunately. 

It was an ugly game, but I will take an ugly win over a loss any day. Dileo was in full beast mode today. Also, this defense is playing amazing right now. Nothing over 13 points in five straight games. I have to guess they are top 15 nationally in defense, and number one or two in the B1G. I am sure someone will toss the numbers around when they get the chance. 

Go to 2:48 to see Jake Ryan's most awesome play of the night (which went largely unnoticed). Killer DOUBLE BLOCK.
