MSU Linebacker Jon Reschke likely done for the season with foot injury

Submitted by SAMgO on

Spreading fast on the boards/twitter this morning. Rumors of ligament damage. They're having some major LB injury issues so far this year, as Riley Bullough is also week-to-week with an undisclosed injury, rumored to be another collarbone issue.

Every little bit helps. They have not looked great thus far but I again caution everyone from throwing dirt on their graves already. They still have some good LBs, it's their secondary that has looked shaky. They are already very good at stopping the run. We will need to hit some throws to beat them. I think we definitely have more talent, but we had more talent last year too. They will play their best game, they will pull every trick they have out, and they will be ready. It's looking good right now but anyone who thinks it will be a cakewalk is fooling themselves. Remember they were playing terrible last year and had a bunch of starters out and they still found a way. I might get a few downvotes for this opinion but I won't feel comfortable until the clock hits all zeros with us on top.

We have always been their Superbowl and for 30 years in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, it didn't matter.  We dominated them.

Time to get back to that reality.

Slow your roll, people.

It was one bad game where the MSU offense (which, last time I checked, doesn't have LBs on it) and a fumbled punt snap (karma's a bitch) gifted Wisconsin a victory. MSU outgained the Badgers, and one poor performance doesn't and a couple injuries mean they're going to throw in the towel on 2016 and then fade into pseudo-relevance. It's not even October yet, folks.

As false as the fear after their ND win was, the confidence after their Wisconsin score is just as irrational. 

That game's a ways away, anyhow.

They outgained the Badgers by 8 yards and that is with MSU outgaining them 102-12 over the last 6 minutes of garbage time (plus a 46 yard drive from MSU immediately before that).  It's one game, yes, and Wisconsin certainly took advantage of MSU mistakes, but Wisconsin was also in control of that game pretty much the whole way.  MSU had a grand total of 109 yards when Wisconsin built it's 30-6 lead.

The OP had a bit of a point.  Wisconsind didn't look particularly dominant, especially on offense.  With only three relatively sustained drives (65 yards TD, 7 plays 45 yards INT on last play of the half, and 10 plays 54 yards FG).  But Wisconsin did capitalize on MSU mistakes and only gave up one sustained drive before the game was out of reach.  Play that game based on down-to-down results 10 times and probably only one game comes out with a 30-6 bloodbath.  But on the other hand, State is only going to end up on the winning side maybe once or twice.

We don't really have much more to go off of other than this game though. They beat a 1-2 ND team that just lost to Duke and they played horribly against a non D1 football team that went 4-8 last year. Do you want us to look at those games to assess the team?

This doesn't change anything for October 29th. This is Sparty's Super Bowl. They will play their best game of the year, regardless of who they trot out there. 

Get ready for a war.
