Afternoon game thread
October 12th, 2019 at 6:14 PM ^
Lewerke is benched.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:14 PM ^
That guy could get charged with a hate crime for that stiff-arm
October 12th, 2019 at 6:16 PM ^
38-0. Sparty is waving the white flag.
They might have to try and sneak that 12th man back on the field to stop Wisconsin.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:18 PM ^
Is this State’s worst game under Dantonio? I’ve never seen them tackle so poorly. It looks like they’ve quit.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:30 PM ^
It's gotta be that waxing they got at the hands of OSU in 2017, but this is pretty close.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
I thought MSU was supposed to have a “great defense”. Wisconsin is making them look like a high school.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:24 PM ^
Don’t worry I’m sure we’ll make them look great when we play them
October 12th, 2019 at 6:21 PM ^
MSU getting smacked. I guess Wisconsin really dislikes the state of Michigan this year
October 12th, 2019 at 6:27 PM ^
With 9 minutes left - Sparty has 91 yards on 41 total plays. Man alive...
You have to try hard to suck that bad. They appear to be giving it their best.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
Those offensive injuries are showing up.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
Longest play from scrimmage before garbage time was the fake punt.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
MSU's defensive line has regressed. They cant stop the run or pass.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
They held Jonathan to 83 yds and 3.3 ypc
October 12th, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
The other guys are running rampant.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:29 PM ^
i know i shouldn't, but i can't help but enjoy that incredible scowl on mork's face. i so hope he wears that for the entire game we have with them.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:29 PM ^
This just looks like MD and the team for that matter have simply quit. As rough as it's been for us. We still 5-1. MSU is a dumpster fire and about to be 4-3.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:35 PM ^
Best part of that game is the disgusted look he's sporting
October 12th, 2019 at 7:05 PM ^
More transfer portal’s coming...
October 12th, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
We’d prolly have the same record if we played their schedule so far.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
Edit: replied to wrong post
October 12th, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
He’s a terrible person and I only feel that way towards him and B Kelly. That shit he pulled last year put both his kids and Michigan’s in Jeopardy of either getting in trouble or injured. I’m convinced he wanted to start a fight, and it’s sick he would use his kids in that way to give him an advantage to win a damn game. All coaches want to win, but at some point the human being needs to come out and realize that shit ain’t right. Mork has no such conscience.
Fuck him.
edit again: trying to reply to XM just above this post but it’s just not meant to be.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:31 PM ^
Please let us beat MSU and one of ND/PSU.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:40 PM ^
I'd think it a good sign if we somehow get a W next week. Not sure I'd like to see Iowa win tonight or PSU win a close one. If the Lions lose, next week would be a rebound game for them at home.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:06 PM ^
I’m fine with a PSU loss, just win the rest of the home games and easier away games
October 12th, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
Wisconsin is pretty good I’d say.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
Anxious to see how big of a dick Dantonio is at the post game handshake.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:35 PM ^
Been watching Scherzer 1 hit the Cards, one day after Anibal did the same. Still rooting for these former Tigers, but bemoaning the fact we couldn't win the title with those two along with Verlander and Price.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:50 PM ^
I seriously question the pitching coaches we had. Sanchez was thought to be toast and that was like 5 years ago. Verlander was thought to be declining until he joined Houston, and he became instantly better. These guys were good/great for us, but we had them in their prime and the results just weren’t really there.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:57 PM ^
How did Anibal resurrect his career? In 2017 he had a >6 ERA with Los Tigres. And he manages a comeback during the golden age of juiced baseballs?
October 12th, 2019 at 7:19 PM ^
IIRC, the bats were cold as ice vs. SF.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:37 PM ^
Wisconsin is strong both sides of the ball. MSU is making our poor game look better.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:38 PM ^
Winters held under 100 yards. Spartan Dawgz!
October 12th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Shutout preserved.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Well Sparty being shut out is always good for improving mood
October 12th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Jim Leonard is going to get a HC gig sooner rather than later.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
The best highlight video to watch later today may be Dantonio's press conference. I am sure he will support his ace coaching staff while trashing the effort of his players. Though probably going to have a hard time blaming the officials for this debacle...
October 12th, 2019 at 6:54 PM ^
He’s been spending too much time trying to get out of going to court. Blame the witch-hunt again. Poor, poor Mork.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:49 PM ^
I just read this stat. Rutgers, earlier today against Indiana, went 5-for-13 passing the ball for a total of 1 yard.
How on Earth is that even possible????
That's possibly worse than their 2-for-17 passing performance (for 8 yards!) against Maryland last year.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:58 PM ^
Can they re-hire Ash? His lowest passing output is 8 times better than the shit they did today.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:03 PM ^
Outscored 165-7 in B10 play so far this year
October 12th, 2019 at 7:27 PM ^
Thank God for Maryland - they did get a TD against the Terps!
Rutgers has conference games left against all of OSU, PSU and MSU. Those are all pretty good defenses. I mean, the over/under on Rutgers combined points in those games is .... 10?
They play Minnesota at home on Homecoming. I'll give them 10 there.
Then their last remaining conference game is Illinois. I suppose they can get in the 20s vs. that defense. Call it 23.
Even at that - that would be 50 points in a combined 9 conference games. Which would be literally half their horrible performance from LAST season (100 points in their conference games).
They are bad to an unbelievable level.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:54 PM ^
Sparties longest play from scrimmage was a 20 yard run from punt formation.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:54 PM ^
Graham Couch predicted 10-2 for MSU. Think he's going to be a little off.
October 12th, 2019 at 6:58 PM ^
I guess he got “burned” by MSU.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:01 PM ^
Couch is a d-bag.
Graham "burning" Couch will write how they lost with dignity ?
October 12th, 2019 at 7:39 PM ^
List like the Titanic before it sank.
October 12th, 2019 at 9:17 PM ^
+1 spider-sal for Titanic /Staee correlation
October 12th, 2019 at 6:56 PM ^
Taggert is a disaster.
DJ Durkin was a disaster.
Trend?
October 12th, 2019 at 7:03 PM ^
It’s a good thing Drevno hasn’t gotten his shot.
October 12th, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
They probably aren’t head coach material and should have stayed as coordinators.
