if michigan wins tonight i dont see us any worse then 10-2.

I'm not going to put it all on Maxwell, but the passing game in East Lansing is alarming. Shout out to my man Tommy Vento!

Wow, was Spartan Stadium that empty at kickoff, or did they all leave to go burn the city down?
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
Wow...did that commentator really just explode for Gholston getting a SMALL push against the LT? This is bad.....

"We will be fine at wide receiver, they said"
"Our offensive is awesome, they said"
LOLOLOLOLOL
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
"Gholston will be an elite defensive player, they said."
"I got into Michigan but chose State instead, they said."
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
He was down before the ball came out.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
I think he was down. Hard to tell though.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
Wow....did he just fumble despite not even getting touched on the ball side? That is terrible ball security, should never happen.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
I'm not sure if he was down or not. They'll probably just go with the on-field ruling.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
$5 says Brian moves MSU into the top 10 when they overcome this stifling Eastern Michigan defense.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
Is he still the running back coach for Eastern Michigan?
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
Hard call.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
Is it just me or does Gholston like to jump on the pile at the end of plays when he isn't the main tackler? I've noticed it twice since I've been watching.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:52 PM ^
That is how he has built his hype this season....a good player makes a play and Gholston gets there as the play is over and gets credit from the commentators when they show the replay.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:49 PM ^
I know BTN still wants MSU to throw play-action, but that requires having competent WRs and a QB who has any accuracy.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:49 PM ^
"I don't care how out matched you are...sell out for the run...you can become a tough defense..." Mason
MSU is a one trick pony!
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
I can't believe this game!
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
NICE frontside CB blitz.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
wheee!!!
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
Bell, Bell, Bell. One positive about this game is that it's going to kill Maxwell's confidence. His coach doesn't trust him to do anything other than check down to his TE on obvious third down passing plays. Against Eastern.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
Well, you can't always expect to cash in on a short field when facing the EMU defensive juggernaut.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:51 PM ^
Beautiful hit on Maxwell by EMU on that play. Pass to MSU's incarnation of Tacopants was incomplete, which seems unlikely, but at his height, he sometimes is hard-pressed to go down for underthrown passes.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:51 PM ^
Think English was mad at the fair catch at the 5? Wow.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
I thought that at first too but he was yelling at the LB who blitzed and hit Maxwell on the play before - don't know why.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:52 PM ^
Why didnt Bell just leap over the defenders?
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:52 PM ^
Whew, Maxwell back under 2 yards per attempt.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:55 PM ^
What year is this? Are forward passes not allowed anymore?
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
60% downfield passes are catchable by receiver
30% of those are actually caught by MSU WR's
20% downfield passes catchable by defense
When you consider its going to take >5 passes to get downfield...
You're better off just running bell/dumping off to backs and TE's
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:56 PM ^
being pinned back there. I'm psyched for Ron Englisn and his boy-os!
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:57 PM ^
I honestly can say I did not expect to be entertained by the majority of the Ohio State - UAB and Michigan State - EMU games today.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
Welcome to the SEC Mizzou! Good choice!
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
The secret to shutting down Sparty has been revealed:
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
I dont think the free safety would be lagging in this formation. Pretty sure he'd be comitted to the run as well.
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
Does Bell always return punts for Sparty or has Dantonio just decided that he's the only reliable player on the team?
September 22nd, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
that's a no-nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
Is the MSU coaching staff crazy putting him on punt return? I have my doubts that he can stay healthy for the whole season given how much they will need to rely on him.
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
I almost can't believe what I'm watching. EMU's horrible run defense standing up MSU's "darkhorse Heisman candidate". But I guess when MSU's QB is being totally ineffective, they can just load the box.
Still think Sparty wins, but this has been awful for MSU. This was supposed to be their game to work on their passing game, not turn to the run game because you're losing and actually need to do something to win...
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
"Well Michigan State executing exactly how they want to..."
Bwahahahahaha!!!!
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:03 PM ^
she said that.
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:02 PM ^
Bell absolutely DRILLED that EMU LB!
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:06 PM ^
Commanding 9-7 lead for Sparty! Almost 7 qtrs. of football without a TD for Sparty!
