Week 7: Best thing you saw...
What nearly ended up with being the fans of the clear #2 team in the land didn't end up quite so, but a very entertaining week.
- Tennesse (and Ole Miss) finally gets the door shut on them as pretender
- NC State and Wisc nearly pulled off upsets (as did Indiana)
- Sparty goes down again
- Ohio looks mortal, as does Clemson
The best things for me this week, though, are:
- the safety by Northwestern - one of the best, cleanest hits on a QB you'll ever see, and with tremendous authority as MSU's QB was horizontal immediately after the hit - the definition of a 'de-cleater'
- this article... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/16/sports/ncaafootball/houston-cougars-t… ... coaching, like leadership, at every level is about teaching and caring; winning is only a result, of good teaching and building believers amongst the team, the team, the team...the article struck an interesting chord with me
What you got?

MSU always playing above expectation in this game. However, we finally have a coach that will ensure we are not outschemed and also not intensity deficient in this game.
It feels like it has been a very long time since we could say that.

The special teams yardage was heavily in our favor. So it was a lot closer overall in terms of yardage.
October 16th, 2016 at 12:37 PM ^
Because Rudock sucked at that point in time.

was a total pretender. This year's team is The Truth. We might not see a better defense in the Big House for decades.

throw out the records when we play them, just like you do with Ohio State. Rivalries are a funny thing. I think Harbaugh really wants to drop the hammer on them though, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hit them harder than we did Rutgerzzz.

last year.
Sure, we lost on a fluke play at the end, but the fact that it had to come to that is proof that we were'nt a head above them.
Oh yeah, they also beat OSU (which we sure couldn't do)
& an undefeated (if overated) Iowa for the B10 Championship.
As much as I hate them, after all the games were played, they were the best when they needed to be.
By the end of the season, had we played them again, I think we could have kicked their ass.

The only thing that's going to keep UM from scoring in this game is Harbaugh playing 4th teamers. Yeah, I have no doubt that MSU will come out fired up and will play HARD. For the first quarter. By then, the blowout will be on and they'll start to quit. It'll be over by halftime...
They lack talent across the board, and haven't believed in the coaching. McDowell alone isn't going to be remotely good enough to beat an angry Michigan team after last year.

has said on several occaisions that his favorite word is "Relentless" ......should be fun to watch him put that into play against Sparty

I would have to say MSU getting shellacked at home by the #112 scoring offense
October 16th, 2016 at 2:36 AM ^
If I was Kizer I'd want to go in the draft early. Why would I come back with a HC that has no trust in you? Throw 2 ints and get yanked?

by how easy NU moved up and down the field vs. Sparty. Their QB had tons of time...they ran the ball..they seemed to pretty much score at will.
I see NO way the Spartans contain Michigan for 4 quarters and even less chance that the Spartans can sustain any sort of consistant offense against this defense.
Michigan 45 Msu 6
October 16th, 2016 at 6:59 AM ^
Yeah, the main thing is that MSU won't be able to move the ball at all. I'm not really concerned about how much our offense will score against MSU. If it's 20, fine. If it's 60, fine. Either way MSU is not going to put up a couple TD's at the very most.

Joey Galloway is so dumb he ranks Clemson above his alma mater in his top 5...wow.
October 16th, 2016 at 6:26 AM ^
Clemson is living way too close to the edge. That's two losses now they narrowly avoided. This one had a 33 yd chip shot lined up square in the middle of the field and he botched it. They are the least impressive of the top 4 no doubt. I think FSU beats them in two weeks at FSU.
October 16th, 2016 at 8:26 AM ^
Don't know about that... FSU hasn't looked all that good, either. But it is at FSU, so that game will look a lot like the Clemson-Louisville game did - offensive fireworks around zero defense. And the national media will eat it up.

Carr never even had a 3-game losing streak in a single season.

If I read RCMB correctly last year - D'Antoni is a much better coach than Schembechler ever was. SMDH.

+ the EMUs win again.

I didn't actually see it happen but Vandy won at Georgia(!!!)
Maybe Richt wasn't so bad, Bulldogs fans.

I don't think Aubrey is really the issue, it's moreso mama Solomon doesn't want him going far away for college based on what I've read.
