MSU starting S RJ Williamson Out for UM Game
Huge blow. The presumed star of the secondary true SO Montae Nicholson has been pulled repeatedly this year as he is not progressing and RJ Williamson was their veteran presence and playmaker back there. The MSU defense is predicated on safeties making tons of plays, and CBs out on an island. Looks like Cox will have to move back to safety and MOAR true youngsters will have to be corners.
Dantonio said RJ Williamson had surgery on a torn bicep this morning. Out indefinitely, possibly back for last game/bowl game.

Backup OT (who was starting for injured Conklin vs Purdue) also gone for year - Finley from Cass Tech. They had to pull their All American center out to tackle for the Purdue game halfway thru.
MSU now up to three season-ending injuries (Davis, Copeland, Finley) and one long-term (Williamson).

Once Narduzzi left it seems their "secret" sauce to avoid injuries left with him!
Dear Rudock, take advantage of the "weird guys".

The Spartans have already played true freshmen safeties Khari Willis and Grayson Miller in addition to redshirt freshmen Matt Morrissey and Jalen Watts-Jackson.
Dantonio said Miller “will become more active in there” with Williamson out.

Chesson just can't seem to make the grabs. I really am perplexed why UM can't complete deep passes. Guys are getting open and the ball is arriving there, but every time something goes amiss. Either the pass is off or it's dropped. It's frustrating as hell.

the full back belly dive play? You are comparing two different offensesive phiolosophies. Stop.

I'd much rather we beat them at full strength then listen to their fans bitch about injuries.

Who cares? We have eight years of excuses and none of them changed the scoreboard.
Just win.

Dantonio deserves credit for building MSU into a powerhouse football program, but he has also been very fortunate on the injury front most years. This year it looks like that luck has changed.

To complain about injuries. MSU has been dealt an awful hand. Ojemudia is really our only major loss and he's definitely replaceable. Speedy recovery RJ.

And you can't even compare the loss of Kerridge to someone like Jack Conklin or RJ Williamson. Captain or not. That's like saying we'd be better off with Kerridge than Jourdan Lewis.

True, but Mone got lots of snaps as a freshmen and was pretty good and had jusfitable spring and fall camp hype and high expectations. Given how good the entire D-line has looked invidually and as a unit, it's fair to think that Mone would've showed a similar level of improvement. It's ok to sigh at what could've been an even greater embassament of riches on the DL with him available.

is currently sidelined, and we don't truly know when he will return.

Thank you. This board can be so silly some times. My least favorite crowd pn this board is the group that thinks the board doesn't respect Dantonio enough (how dare you call them little brother!?!?!), to the point where it seems like they're rooting for them. Actually, my real least favorite crowd is anyone who was rooting for MSU to beat Oregon in 2014 because an MSU win would have marginally improved the chances we made the playoffs in a year we finished 5-7. I'd say that crowd should have been permabanned by it felt like it was 80% of the board at the time.
