I've done nothing but compliment Borges in this thread.  The only person I've been critical of is Devon and his unwillingness to throw the ball.

I just dont see how we can win given our O line's problems and Devon's fear of making a mistake.  Nothing on Borges from me.

I'm not nearly as despondent as you all.  I'm a little confident - though if MSU scores next, I'll start getting very pessimistic.

However, I am, officially, very nervous about these first two drives.

The only good news is that all of the plays where the DBs are in the pocket of the receiver and don't make a play will be picks and PBU's next year when these guys are a little older and more experienced.

People asked Borges to air it out, aggressively--been doing that.

Mix in some short passes and screens---check.

Don't run as much, and when you do, primarily use read option--check and check.

The result thus far: FIRE HIM.

So MGoBlog essentially wants to fire itself from play calling. Glad we've cleared that up.

You act like teams don't run successfully against run defenses, I don't know, multiple times every single game.

Plus, just saying "they've got 9 guys in the box" is totally meaningless.

If they have 9 guys in the box, but we've got a 4 on 3 blocking advantage to one side and we run the play successfully, it doesn't matter.

everyone needs to shut up about Lewan. 95% of us would have "hit" that guy if he was jawing in your face. Lewan didn't do anything right before half. The MSU player bull rushed on a damn kneel. a lot of you forgot he passed up millions of dollars to come back for another year. Get off his back
