For example, Denard was "at the helm" during the final four minutes of the Gator Bowl trailing Mississippi State by 38 points. During that last 4 minutes Denard went 1-3 / 6 yards passing, and 0 rushes for 0 yards. Against Wisconsin 2010, Denard was at the helm during the final three minutes and fifteen seconds (with Michigan trailing by 20). Denard went 1-3 / 3 yards passing and had five rushes for 43 yards (before time ran out). Whenever I hear the word "clutch" I grieve the loss of Fire Joe Morgan. |

Sounds like they were getting pepper sprayed by the car's owner as they were painting it. You know, like the Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh. |
| 1 year 32 weeks ago | MSU on fast track to undefeated season? |
No. An outside chance, maybe. But not a fast track. And don't take seriously anyone who says MSU and undefeated season in the same breath; they're just trying to get under your skin. I don't see MSU beating Iowa at Kinnick, with likely national exposure (possibly College Gameday or, even scarier, a night game). Even if MSU was to get past Iowa somehow, they'll probably drop one other game -- most likely Northwestern, though Illinois could be a trap game too. |
| 1 year 32 weeks ago | Why do you... |
Why do you need a homerun threat at RB when you have a double homerun threat at QB in Denard? |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | Right. |
Hence the "air quotes" around "home". |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | You're reading that wrong. |
unless you transposed the numbers. The only team that exceeded its season average against MSU was Notre Dame. All the others gained less yardage vs MSU than their season average. |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | Is Oklahoma seen as a very good team? |
CW here in Big 12 country is that Oklahoma is down this year, especially defensively. |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | I don't think that's right. |
Against FBS opponents, MSU has had 49 drives (12.25 drives per game, as you say) but has scored on 22, a 44.9% success rate, averaging 2.65 PPD. Or are you counting touchdowns only? At 12.2 possessions/game, that does only add up to 32.33 points, so Michigan would still win, 38-32. |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | Michigan's defense against Indiana... |
...was -better- [correction: worse] than YTD average in terms of success rate (33.3%, avg 31.7%) -but- [correction: and] worse than YTD average in terms of points per drive (2.33 PPD, avg 2.0 PPD). |
| 1 year 33 weeks ago | I agree that MSU's defense is not going to shut down Michigan's |
I agree that MSU's defense is not going to shut down Michigan's offense. I don't think anyone in the country can. What MSU can do, though, is keep Michigan's offense off the field, through its own offensive strategy. Also, you are again looking only at yards. Look at scoring: Western: Avg 25.0 PPG, scored 14 vs MSU. FAU: Avg 17.3 PPG, scored 17 vs MSU. ND: Avg 24.6 PPG, scored 28 vs MSU in regulation, 31 in OT. Wisconsin: Avg. 36.4 PPG, scored 24 vs MSU. With the exception of Notre Dame (who scored 3 points above their average in regulation), MSU has held FBS opponents to below average scoring. |
