College Football Open Thread Night 2
August 30th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
Drummond doing his best impression of Woodson.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
A great catch, as much as I hate to say it.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:41 PM ^
It wasn't even close to the same league as Woodson's. Nice but not even close to Chuck's.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:44 PM ^
I never said it was close, but I agree with you.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
Also....BAHAHAHAHAHA Maxwell benched.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
That was impressive though
August 30th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
Andrew.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
2nd unsportsmanlike conduct of the night for Sparty.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
The first one should have been a penalty, the second one was stupid. College is becoming the No Fun League.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
Drummond must look up to Denard. Stealing his eating thing.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:41 PM ^
Good d no offense
August 30th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
Well thus far Sparty is what we thought they were - top notch defense, lost offense.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
I'm just going to say it again. States not going to be able to run the ball this year. Their lack of play from the quarterback position will kill them. This is western Michigan. Come on?
August 30th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
Is State's new OC the walrus from Tressel's days at OSU?
August 30th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
State running game looks horrible so far. What was the penalty after the interception for...the eating gesture?
August 30th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
So..with this Cover 2 under...WMU might want to think of something other than crossing routes.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
Not sure where their points will come from against us. I think we'll be alright
August 30th, 2013 at 8:44 PM ^
This guy!
August 30th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
It's going to be a long night for Western. Every throw by their QB has been really ugly, slow release, usually into double coverage. Sparty should have more than 2 interceptions right now.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
anyone think it was weird seeing the old Michigan band director leading the WMU band? Just saying...
August 30th, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
If you let those punts you've been catching at the eight yard line bounce once you can have the ball at the twenty.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
Western needs to put in another QB. This guy with the epic name isn't getting it done.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
And forcing everything.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
how deadspin ranked MSU in the top 25 is beyond me.
August 30th, 2013 at 9:28 PM ^
BTN pre-game hosts predicted 10 or 11 wins for Sparty. Not quite sure what they see in their offense. I know they have a favorable schedule but this offense can't move the ball on Western.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
Sparty's offense is horrible. Color me confident about that game.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
Any moment now, the Spartans should reach close to 80 yards of total offense by most estimates, and it only took a shade over 15 minutes of regulation play.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
Now now, maybe Western's defense is just that good........maybe.....
August 30th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
Honestly....this kids throwing motion makes Threets look fast.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
appears to be awesome
August 30th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
Hope he has a backup or a bionic leg cause it could be a looong season for him!
August 30th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
Some people in various preseason polls ranked this team ahead of us...with this offense. Ok.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
Yeah, Maxwell's career is over unless Cook gets hurt.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
Has state crossed the fifty yet? I'm too bored to recall.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
Bullough has some serious speed on the edge. I am sure Big 10 LBers will never be able to catch him.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
Sparty offense on night 1 is fantastic...
August 30th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
With that last first down, Connor Cook just became Michigan State's second-most prolific rusher in the game to date. Oh yeah, all sorts of fun on this offense. Granted, it is Western that they are playing.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
LOL.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
State feels the need to pull out the "end around" to try and get some offense>
August 30th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
This games going to get interesting. Wow. States offense is horrid.
August 30th, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
It wont be interesting. WMU might have as many first downs as MSU gets points... 13? Every pass by Western is at risk of an interception. Every one.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
Without Bell they are who we thought they were!
August 30th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
Funny how different Hoke is from Dantonio. I think it has to do with the history of the program being awful. He talks up his players to the point you think they are a NFL team. Everything in camp has been awesome, every player has been special, quote after quote "I love what I see from ABC player" and "XYZ has stood out all camp. Meanwhile Hoke when asked about a specific player just says coach-y stuff like "He has been practicing...He is competing." I get why Dantonio does this since the psychology of State is one big loss and they implode year after year, but I thought I would see Alabama North here based on Dantonio's descriptions.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
I'd actually like to see Riley Bullough play well since I live in the same area he's originally from
August 30th, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^
Well, sorry man. Dude runs sideways.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
Wow, western has an great defense!
August 30th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
Pouring rain will make this game so much more exciting. I see the offensive execution really picking up
August 30th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
This is actually quite embarrassing for the state of the B1G. Come on sparty, you SHOULDN'T be this bad on offense.
