33 weeks 5 days ago Boise State

The coaches actually have Boise ranked. They didnt score an offensive point against BYU and beat New Mexico by 3.

34 weeks 4 days ago How long will it take

How long will it take for Borges to realize that Denard is SEVERELY limited in the passing game and Mentally? How many complete failures will it take before he understands that the few really nice passes that Denard makes from time to time are not sustainable over the course of a game? This QB is blessed with an amazing gift to run the football and is capable of a functional short passing game. Put Denard in the Shotgun and run the football and devise a gameplan that has short quick hitting pass routes that he is capable of completing CONSISTENTLY. Oh and tell Denard to take off running at the first sign of pressure.

35 weeks 2 days ago How good is the ND defensive line?

Im not convinced the ND D-line is really as good as its being made out to be. MSU has serious offensive line issues just as they did last year. When I consider that Central Michigan held Leveon Bell to the same production as ND, im skeptical as of now.

36 weeks 4 days ago MSU running game

Is not as great as its made out to be either. Bell only had 70 yards on CMU and failed to average 4 yards a carry.

36 weeks 5 days ago Totally illegal

That play was illegal and even worse the advantage the TE got directly enabled him to get the block on the pitch man(Kovacs).

For anyone that missed it you can see at the 53:05 mark of this video.

37 weeks 5 days ago Poor gameplan

Michigan could not have won the game with any gameplan but Borges failed. Denard Robinsons skill set was not utilized properly and in fact his weaknesses were highlighted in this gameplan. Robinson needs to have a short and quick passing game which targets the outside of the defense rather than sitting in the pocket and trying to throw downfield repeatedly. Its simply not his skill set. Borges just reverts back to what he prefers offensively rather than what has been successful. Hopefully this will be the last time he needs a reminder. If there is one thing im frustrated with is 160 pound V. Smith running the ball up the middle! I remember RR did the same thing.

37 weeks 6 days ago Fine?

He didnt even record a single tackle in the whole game. Actually he didnt even assist on a single tackle the whole game. His hype is laughablly unwarranted.

38 weeks 8 hours ago 11th in the conference in rushing

MSU is team that could not sustain any kind of running game at all last year with the benefit of a 3 year starting quarterback and a group of talented and experienced recievers to stretch the field. Good luck running with the defense stacking the box.

38 weeks 8 hours ago The same defense that was 4th in the conference?

MSU was 4th in the conference in total defense and a weakly 9th against the pass during conference play. The game against FAU, which just so happened to be the worst offense in the country really skewed the overall numbers.  http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/stats/2011-2012/confonly.html

Playing OSU in B. Millers first career start and OSU without its best players including Posey didnt hurt either. MSU has a solid defense but the hype is way beyond what is warranted.

38 weeks 5 days ago Just to be clear

Gholston is an outstanding player with tons of potential but I dont know if I can recall a player getting so much hype with as little as he has accomplished on the field? Denicos Allen is a better football player in my opinion.

39 weeks 1 day ago uh-oh

At the 3:00 minute mark, the snap count is almost immediately after the head raises. I hope that changes or get ready for the bull rushes.

42 weeks 3 days ago He told Urban Meyer no thanks

It was reported that OSU stopped recruiting Green but that was not true. There is an article on Rivals where Green said Urban wanted him to visit for FNL before visiting Michigan but he told OSU the offense was  not a fit.

1 year 3 weeks ago Every game

The MSU defense didnt keep them in every game last year (ND and Nebraska) and lost possibly its best two players. They have a solid defense but we are giving them way too much credit, probably because we have struggled against them.

1 year 3 weeks ago Really?

If MSU has the best set of corners in the country im surprised considering they were 9th in the conference in pass defense last year.

 

1 year 3 weeks ago MSU defense is overrated

Thanks to super cupcake games against Youngstown State and Florida Atlantic the numbers are a little misleading. I took a look at conference only statistics, here are some of the numbers. Note: These are from the 8 regular season conference games and do not include the conference championship game .

Total Defense - Conference Only 

Michigan   300.9   3rd

MSU   313.9   4th     

 

Rushing Defense

Michigan   115.6   1st

MSU   118.1   2nd

 

Passing Defense

Michigan  185.2   5th

MSU   195.8   9th

 

First Downs

Michigan   15.6   2nd

MSU   18.5   4th

 

3rd Down Conversion %

Michigan   30.1   1st

MSU   33.9   2nd

 

When looking at these numbers just remember Mattison and the defensive staff accomplished this in year one! MSU certainly has a good defense, no one would doubt that, but they are not nearly as dominant as many believe and they lost as much or more than Michigan did. I think our perception of the MSU defense is more favorable because they have given our offense trouble.

1 year 3 weeks ago This guy

Is the biggest homer ever! Even Spartan fans laugh at his thoughts.

1 year 3 weeks ago MSU

Finished 11th out of 12 teams in rushing last year with a veteran QB and experienced recievers. Im not sure they return a reciever with more than a couple catches in their career so without a legitimate passing game threat I would expect the rushing game to suffer again. MSU has a very good defense but will not be very good offensively.

1 year 4 weeks ago You are missing the point

They made it to the Final Four with eligible players. Therefore they could hang a Final Four banner and it would be legit. If you win the Elite Eight round, which Michigan did, then you certainly wouldnt hang an Elite Eight banner.

1 year 4 weeks ago Maybe so

But the MSU AD is giving their fans a much better experience than Michigan fans are getting. That alone makes this a failure on Brandons part, even with the band attending.
