Michigan vs. MSU [open thread]

I won't be able to relax for one second all game I can already tell. 

That was not holding. Lewis has a hand on him, and the guy runs into the ref and falls down.

Bring the heat against this short handed line.

who the fuck is 86 on D???

This fucking sucks.

Adjust and kill!!!

Need to pressure the qb!

Team wasn't ready. Not at all.

This drive is as bad as it gets. Two drive-extending penalties. 

This is just pathetic. We look like a completely different defense this week. Mistake after mistake.

to end so the D gets refocused on just playing the game.

Need a turnover

Remember the pass rush? ha

STOP THEM

Could we maybe get a fucking stop? How many times has it been 3rd and long on them?

Their OL is not going to hold, we need to just hold them here.

Now Cook will have 45 hrs to throw on this 3rd

Are killing us so far

yay lewis

Ok well Cook can throw there all day

Woodson pick nearly

Thank you, Mr. Lewis.

Much better. And much appreciated. 

Send somebody this time Durkin pleeaaase!

I agree w spiel man. Watch for a fake

I want someone to absolutely level Cook

Need a pick here.

LETS GO

but this team really needs to wake up.

Lewis is awesome.

YES

BIG stop there. 

Thanks for going for it, fuckers!

Shutout still there

Keeping the shut OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now do something offense!

Yuh!!

:-)

Nice job D. Now let's go OL

Dantonio doesn't kick FGs?

Hey, we get the ball now! DO SOMETHING WITH IT!!!

defense, finally!

GET MAD OFFENSIVE LINE GET MAD

I guess we take it? I don't know. My hope is quickly going away for this game.

.

Can we have an offense now?

Dat pressure, tho

Lets start moving in the right direction

C'mon, MSU.

RUDOCK. It is your time. DO IT!

and yes, that was bogus call on the pick

GET THE BIG HOUSE ROCKING NOW

Now let's go!

I haven't been this nervous during a game since 2006.

This is a good thing.

that ended with the other team not scoring. Pathetic pass rush, soft coverage, incomprehensible play calling, dumb mental mistakes.

I'm surprised their O-line has been able to handle the D-line so far. Hopefully as the game drags on they'll tire out and then the floodgates can open. 

How does that disappointment taste?

Time to adjust on D. Coverage is mediocre, the pass rush is the issue.

Fly to Chesson for a TD coming up on the first play.

Gonna smoke a bowl, but that probably won't even calm me down.

on offense. Don't give them field position.

Big stop there need some quick developing plays to help the oline here

Show me 7. Time to finally hit the big one.

drive here.

Fullback dive :)

Fullback!!!

There you go.

Fuck yeah get that FB in there!

Calm down everyone.

If only he had a little bit more speed. Great run.

That's what you get for having safeties so close.

WUT

RUN VERY LARGE PERSON, RUN

Lol fb run most efficient play this year other than the sweep

BITCHES!

I have to admit, if he had outrun the MSU defense for a TD I might have never stopped laughing.

Jake, WTF?

while back peddling.

Bad screen

OMG JAKE!

dammit

If you're going to chuck it, chuck it out of bounds.

Great play call and run!

Man throw this shit, come on!

Higdon sighting already? For a run up the middle? Interesting.

.

Keep the drive going here!

This game has not been fun to watch

shut out quarter.

Need MOAR BUTT!

Jake needs to get going.

State dominating both lines so far. Not a good start.

Jake has one or two Stanzi-esque throws every game.

Where's drake?

need Butt

Is there a big wind? Why did we call timeout instead of letting the quarter end?

Obligatory early blown timeout

Not complaining -- If third down converted

But think Higdon had some space to the outside. Bold move to run into six Spartans inside haha

Here comes the predictable wr screen

Everyone on the field needs to calm down just a bit.

Also, don't run Johnson up the middle. That's smith's jam.

Its time to win a downfield battle, we need to hit them where they are weak.

Naked bootleg throw to butt

We MUST be able to run the ball better

Williams for Mackey

Oh yes

for all the flack he has gotten on here, AJ Williams is becoming one of my favorite players

Run, AJ, run.

Why is AJ running out of bounds? He needs to truck people.

Better pass blocking there

HUGE PLAY!!!

Ugly so far hope we can get some pass game going

You cannot stop AJ Williams don't even try!!

Man, I love the new AJ Williams!

Need to get Cook slammed NOW

Good time out !!!!!

this year.

13 straight shutout quarters

Only one score given up in the last 20

Penalties

Kalis got blown by their by Calhoun

I love our coach!

Lol AJ Williams top TE in the country omg this staff is crazy good

Lewis needs to cool it a bit. He's instigating with his helmet to much

Fuck Sparty with a rusty toilet seat.

/TWIS'd

Outplayed that first quarter but if we score first, that's big

Going up 7-0 would be HUGE.

Need to avoid running RBs between the tackles until State backs off. More constraint like dives, play action, screens. You're essentially throwing away a down running up the middle right now.

Adjustment time...thank god for that pass 1st down

Good first quarter . Tough so far on our secondary ,  but they have held up. If we can get some passing  going we will be just fine . Plus commit no turnovers. Heck of a game so far . GO BLUE!!

Any points will be big here. Don't do something stupid, safe quality plays.

We've played terrible compared to what we've grown accustomed to seeing and it's still 0-0. Now let's settle in, execute, and smash their fucking teeth down their throats.

Glad to see the Defense getting a much needed rest.

Big conversion there. Butt as a decoy?

Ok, let's get a TD. That will take the edge off.

would be big.

commercials please. Jfc

Up the middle

Is De'Veon injured again?

Now that was a great play by Rudock. 

Punch it in

Nice throw on the move

Nice play by Rudock there. 

Nice throw too.

Smash it in 

Drake over the top

Mr Smith! Getting tough yards.
