Big 10 Championship Game Open Thread

Submitted by alum96 on

No meteors seem in the forecast in the greater Indiana area per NASA, so we'll be forced to watch our top 2 competitors in the East face off.  Short of a 25+ pt blowout MSU is destined for the Rose, OSU is playing for the right to give up 60 pts to Florida State.

Have at it....

Everyone on here saying state is going to win cracks me up. Have you not watched Ohio state football the past ten years? They will win and Michigan football will continue to do nothing about it. Depressing shit

In 3 generations finding a non Bullough on MSU defense will be difficult.  Every one of those guys just needs to produce 3-4 offspring, and play it forward 3 generations.  You might start seeing Bulloughs populate the OL to in 2072.

There was still a second left on the clock after that went through the uprights. Look what Auburn did with one second.

instead of throwing an incompletion, they punt with 56 seconds to go instead of 1:36, and OSU gets the ball with 43 seconds left in the half and no timeouts instead of 1:23.

Poor clock mgmt cost Sparty that Buckeye FG.

the Okie St loss, Auburn beating Mizzou, and a Duke upset over FSU would have given Sparty a strong arument for a National Championship game spot.

Sparty could have made the argument that we'd already seen the Auburn-Bama game, so let's not give Bama a do-over against the team that just beat them when there is a plausible alternative.

FSU-Duke was 0-0 at the end of the 1st qtr, and only 7-0 when MSU was up 17 on OSU, but FSU at half leads 17-0.

Sparty almost got the 7-10 split to happen, but FSU seems to be closing any longshot prayer.

Now leading only 17-10, Sparty is in a fight just to win the game.

Not  a lot of teams could say that giving up 6.60 yards per snap was a subpar performance, but that's what MSU is doing right now on defense. As a result, the Ohio State rushing attack has been slowed to only 111 yards at the half, which is probably about what most of us expected would happen with a very stingy rushing defense up against them.

I really hope our defense can turn a corner next year and be a disruptive force. I'm just not sure we have the d-linemen to do it. One of the young DEs or DTs needs to undergo a major transformation this offseason.
