MSU CB Josiah Scott out at least 2 months
Lets focus on our other morally corupt rival real quick.
Starting CB Josiah Scott is out for two months due to a non contact injury according to Mork. Link. That would put Scott's return date right before MSU's game against PSU, the game before we play them. Scott was a freshman AA last year so if he misses those games it's a big blow to MSU.
MSU is having a mini-string of bad luck with DBs lately. First they announce Tyson Smith (non-starter but played every game in 2017) is out for the season and maybe his career due to a stroke he suffered in November, then this. AMSUDBHG?
Why does the Angry Michigan State University DoucheBag Hating God who spites D'Antonio, Izzo, the players, and all MSU fans into having a Little Brother complex and wearing Axe body spray while watching reruns of Jersey Shore want to take out their corner backs?
talk about an unfortunate Situation.
Waiting for Mork to join the group pic.
A stroke! what kind of drugs are they trying out on those 20 year olds!

Are you fucking serious?
Rough injury but luckily for MSU they don’t exactly face a devastating passing offense before PSU. N’Keal Harry is phenomenal but he’s one man, and IU has some good receivers (Westbrook and I like Philyor and Timien), but I don’t trust DeBord to attack MSU well.
If Scott has to miss any more games than those, then they may be in trouble.
Manny Wilkens is a very solid QB for AZ State. That’s a trap game that I can see Sparty losing. It’s never easy playing a late night game on the west coast.
I agree! I just don't think Scott will make the difference in that being a W or an L for Sparty. I will certainly be watching that one and won't be shocked if MSU loses, however.
Isn't Sun Devil Stadium a notoriously hard place to play for traveling teams too?
I assume it is they beat a really good Washington team there and usc last year. Any game with a late start in the west coast is tough at the start of a season
No. You're just confused because every road game for UM seems hard for them.
So insecure. You represent your team well
I know they beat Washington there last year. They just redid some of the stadium, they've got new uniforms and a new (questionable, but new) coach...they will be hyped up for the game. The atmosphere will be live. If MSU doesn't get out front early, that one could get a little hairy for them.
I fully expect Dantonio to plug-in some roided-up 2* with a significant criminal background and not miss a beat...
Wasn't UMBig saying that MSU had another big story that would drop before season? One that would be very disruptive?
From what little I have figured out from the various hints out there, I think that this new issue is more Dantonio and admin related than player. Something about an assault on a WBB athlete by football players that was covered up/colluded by the higher-ups. I have no firm info but I got the impression that this was far enough back that it wouldn’t affect the current team.

WTF, they either have no functioning Title IX department and/or no moral compass.
HEY PARENTS with daughters, don't worry about them at staee especially if they know athletes as the AD will take care of everything.
Or, or, or (says Occam) the rumors you're hearing and accepting as gospel are... not in fact gospel.
Come on man, the "roided up" line is tired. Michigan just posted a new roster with how many players gaining 15+ pounds during the offseason? No "roided up" comments in that roster thread from what I saw. Maybe UM has just had a substandard S&C program for decades.
To be fair, this has been a common theme about MSU - at least on M boards - since Mandarich or before. Meanwhile (to my knowledge) this has never been accused of M players/staff.
There is a reason for the double standard here even if just in jest.
Mandarich played what in the 80's? That was ~30 years ago when drugs were more easy to acquire. Steroids were not class III controlled substances until the MLB PED fiasco galvanized Congress to "protect the children."
HGH not steroids is the cheat of choice in that cesspool. Dantonio is a gigantic dbag fraud that will be Tresseled soon enough.
How about the LB who got kicked off the team before the bowl game? The one with 27 brothers who all played for MSU? I’m sure it was purely coincidence that he weighed in something like 30 pounds lighter at the combine
I should clarify - I think there are a lot of PED users in CFB since it seems nobody gets caught until they go to the NFL where the drug testing is better. However, I don't think there is any evidence that MSU does more than an average P5 team. Most steroids are class III controlled drugs - in the same category as opiates. The minimum sentences for possession and possession with intent to distribute are very high, which would make systemic/institutional use very difficult just based on sheer quantity of drugs to acquire. Unless you believe that there are a bunch of doctors at MSU just writing scripts willy nilly for MSU football players with zero thought for repercussion, I highly doubt this could go on for decades without coming out in a big way at some point.
Careful, don't get whiplash from back tracking on your BS logic. I wouldn't raise an eyebrow if your morally vacuous coach had 'roids sprinkled into the "conditioning." I wish MSU nothing but the worst.
What am I backtracking on? I do think UM has had a substandard S&C program in the past - or at least around average and certainly not elite. If Dantonio is "sprinkling roids" into conditioning, it isn't a moral issue - it's a criminal one that would involve the DEA. I also wish MSU nothing but the worst but don't think they have an S&C program built around steroids - these things are not mutually exclusive.
Also holy shit, "my" coach? You think I'm an MSU fan? Check my posting history.
You sound measured and reasonable in your interpretation of the world around you.
nobody would accuse a doctor at MSU of doing anything uneth.... oh, nevermind.

Yes, you are right.
There is no way a criminal doctor could flourish as a MSU staff member for decad es, right?
Never want to see a player injured, no matter what school he plays for. Hopefully he has a full recovery and we drop 350 yards on his 100% healthy ass.
Heal up quick, motherfucker.
I laughed so hard at this!
Boy I never thought I'd say this here but I'm actually happy to read a post about MSU. Not because it's bad news but because I think we've already jumped the shark on the Meyer/Smith situation and that has two more weeks to go.
We didn't jump the shark with the Izzo/Dantonio stuff?
I still can't believe Izzo AND Dantonio retired in the hours after the ESPN report.
You chose to go to a school run by jock-sniffers and cover-up artists and to be coached by a petulant toad who lets criminals walk out of jail and into the starting lineup all while spouting bible verses and looking mad, but I hope you heal up soon and are able to resume your career real soon, young man.
They'll just plug in some other grabby, mugging corner type substance.
I'm sure they have some suspended player they can vote back on the roster.

A sixth year one.
Next chip up!
He's by far their most talented corner. This is a big loss for any games, but I don't think I expect them to lose to Arizona State, IU, or Northwestern. Two of those are away games, though (@ASU, @IU). Still, I think they'll come out unscathed. The bigger concern is whether 2 months is enough recovery time to return at or above his playing level from 2017.
It's Ok. Scott will be ready to pick 6 Patterson by late October and until then 4* Frosh Kalon Gervin (whom Dantonio recruited over Bama/UM) will get some valuable game time.
Lol. Idk if MSU will be gifted 4(?) turnovers again to only squeak by with a 4 pt win. Maybe another miracle last-second punting fumble? You'd think MSU has blown out UM lately with how pathetically confident you losers are.

"Jim Harbaugh has been a loser in over 83% of his rivalry games as Head Coach of the Michigan Wolverines."
Cool stat. One season can (drastically) change the very stat that you're clinging to.
Yeah, you play 3 rivals (on the road and all likely ranked). So it's not unlikely he could be at 88% after 2018. It's more likely than "drastically" changing to 44% by winning all 3 games . Most likely scenario (per S and P) is UM goes 1-2 making Harbaugh 2-7 vs rivals.
Hey. UM fans are happy with Harbaugh. MSU and OSU fans are happy with Harbaugh. So I guess everyone wins.... Except for Harbaugh.
It was 5: http://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup?gameId=400935372
That was mostly due to Captain Khaki deciding to throw the ball around in a monsoon.
2015 could have been prevented by not placing gunners in the punt formation when MSU had 11 players 3 yards from the line of scrimmage.
I believe Harbaugh is still the UM coach?
