He has a partially torn ACL or something like that. Sure he played a little vs. Michigan, but I'm not sure he's the better option over the course of the entire game.

Punt-Centered Offense
Punt-Centered Offense
I find it interesting that both Iowa and MSU have offenses which are centered around the punter. It gives other players a chance to shine that otherwise would not see the field much.

IMO...
IMO...
I've said this a million times, but why not one more.
IMO, Michigan and Ohio will got back to dominating the league. Big 2 and Little 10. There will always be a 3rd team in there...Nebraska, Wisconsin, etc. but if you look back over a 10 year span, starting this season, I think you'll consistently see Michigan and Ohio at the top.
This is a big reason why I HATE Dantonio...more so than any other coach in the country. He benefited from Rich Rod not recruiting the state and Tressel's fall.
With Hoke and Meyer in place, MSU is officially "little brother" again. I know some people don't like that term, and that's fine. But just look at the recruiting in the state the past 2 years, it's not going to get better.
Back to 7-5 to 9-3 for Sparty. Sure they'll have good years, as will Iowa, Purdue and potentially Northwestern. Michigan or Ohio may dip to 3rd or 4th in certain years, but overall...the BIG 2 are back.

Honestly, just look at the Big10 recruiting rankings and you have your explanation for why the conference is doing so poorly. Almost half the conference struggles just to pull in a class with 3 stars across the board. This is not a recipe for success. Until that changes, you are going to see Michigan and Ohio dominate with a few other programs making a run every now and again.
