Yes, it's only Minnesota, but we are giving Dantonio a LOT to plan for. Two QBs on the field together, misdirections, HB passes... My head might asplode

Best o all, they are making the passes easy for Denard and everyone is touching the ball

Lots more running with the running backs.

 

Granted it is Minnesota, but any time we can lessen the hits Denard takes and still move the ball I am happy.

I went on record after the opener saying it was just cliche when people say coaches kept it vanilla. I apologize to this coaching staff for being utterly wrong. They did in fact have MUCH more up their sleeves than I thought.

I absolutely love the sprint draw. MSU gashed us with it over and over in the Braylonfest game and I've wanted to see us run it ever since. It's such a simple concept but super effective when you have a QB who's such a running threat.
