I'm looking forward to November 12th when Wisconsin travels to Minnesota. That should be quite the blowout at the very least.

I wouldn't say they like to run it up on teams like Minnesota, but that they like to run and run.
And if you can't stop what you know is coming...the score goes up.

I have them right next to each other, and PSU has played better. They lost by sixteen to an Alabama team that might very well with the SEC this year (OSU lost by to a mediocre Miami team by 18), they have a conference win, which OSU doesn't have, and I think they look better.

still, both teams are offensively inept. i expect a score of 2-3 when they play. any td's will likely be scored by the defense.

Northwestern was up 28-10 before Persa went down. The best team doesn't always win. I'm factoring in the addition of Persa to my rankings. With Persa, Northwestern continues onto to win that game.

Great teams don't have
Great teams don't have
Great teams don't have offenses ranked 62 in total offense and scoring offense at 67. Hell, their rushing offense is ranked 81, great teams don't have mediocre to below average offenses. MSU is a team with a good defense and average/below average offense. There are no great teams in the Big Ten outside Wisconsin.
Go Blue!

Nebraska
also has a loss... so what's your point? MSU is undefeated in the B1G and just won at OSU. They have the #1 ranked Defense in the country, and were Co-Big 10 Champs last year. Excuse me for giving them some respect.

October 2nd, 2011 at 8:11 PM |
If Ohio State had an average QB
If Ohio State had an average QB
They would have won that game yesterday.
Honestly, the respect that people are giving MSU is ridiculous.
Are you people Matt Millen fans? Because he was the one speaking in breathtaking tones about how Sparty's victory over the worst OSU team (and really only because of the offense) was a "program building", "season defining" win.
They are a good team.
They are nothing special.
Once they face a real team (just remember when they played Iowa and Alabama last year) they will get destroyed.
I just hope we're at that point in two weeks time.
October 2nd, 2011 at 8:35 PM |
If OSU had an ave QB, they
If OSU had an ave QB, they
If OSU had an ave QB, they would probably be competing for 2nd in the B1G with Nebraska. OSU still has a pretty damn good D. MSU deserves a lot of the credit being given them. Having seen them in the ND and OSU game, they are a very good defense. I don't think they'll be the #1 by the end of the year, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they were top 15. The D is very fundementally sound and plays agressive. They also have good defensive schemes. I would put them right up there with UM, Neb, and Ill in the B1G right now.
As an aside, I agree with the above, above poster that MSU was timing the snap count. They've been doing the same thing to us the past two years. I really hope we address this before we play them.

I think Braxton miller has
I think Braxton miller has the physical gifts, but wow, he is way further behind the curve in the brains department. Either that or he just can't handle big time game pressure, in which case he's screwed for the long term. He just looked lost and worst, indecisive. If MSU sent any other extra pass rusher, he would clam and not know what to do. A lot of their problems fall on the coaches and play calling for putting him in the position to even have to make such decisions. They should have gone to a short game a lot quicker (they never actually did).
October 2nd, 2011 at 9:26 PM |
Not all his fault.
Not all his fault.
Easy to look lost as a QB when your receivers aren't open. The biggest difference between Pryor and Miller as freshmen is that Pryor had Beanie Wells to hand off to, along with a very good offensive line and several future NFL draft picks at WR. Miller doesn't have any of that right now. He, like Fickell, has been thrown into a hopeless situation. The big test will be in the next two games, as they travel to both Nebraska and Illinois, but gain Posey, Herron, and Adams. I think they might beat Illinois with those three back; if they don't, they're going to go 0-4 in October, and might miss bowl season.

If Miami was able to shut down teams like that in their other 3 games, then yes. Unfortunately for your argument, they have not. I fully agree OSU's offense is inept, but I'm reluctant to put MSU in the middle of the pack in the Big 10 until 1.) They lose a conference game, and 2.) We beat them (which I fully expect us to do).

Like maybe -17. Their O-line goes about 6'5", 320 all the way across. I don't know how any team stops that for four quarters plus keeping Wilson and Nick "7th year senior" Toon in check.

That's reasonable. I'm not running a casino so 2.5 points isn't that big of a deal to me. I think we lose, but by way less than Nebraska did. Two TD's and a field goal, or two TD's sounds about right.
