and we still have no answer for MSU's double A gap blitz. None. That defies logic. Every year, I sit and wonder, is this the year we actually have a counter measure in place to defeat Narduzzi's favorite toy? And every year, the answer is no.
Agree with Ace, anyone questioning Devin's toughness gets a free week as the scout team QB imitating Braxton Miller. We'll then do a toughness check on that individual. I'd anticipate a lot of NO MAS.
Even the MSU types are giving Devin props for scraping himself off the ground and going back to the huddle. He's a tough kid, rest assured.
As much as the O Line struggled Saturday, everyone needs to take a deep breath. They are hellaciously young, and Funk will get them turned around eventually. You just can't replace experience and maturity on the line. I don't give a crap about other "young" offensive lines that are deemed successful, when you have your interior three that are as green as grass, you WILL struggle. I don't care if Alex Gibbs is the OL coach, the result would be similar.
MSU fans were ready to buy Mark Staten (MSU OL coach) a one way ticket out of East Lansing last year due to the poor OL play. Much like Michigan, MSU had a lot of injuries, inexperience, and guys playing out of position. This year MSU is healthy and rotating 7 guys, including their damn centers. And now Staten is hailed as being a really good coach. I expect to see the same from Funk. Give him some healthy bodies that he can consistently put on the field and see what happens. Brian says as much in his write up...go with what you have and see how much better you can make them, and hope they are mildly proficient by the time tOSU rolls into town.

Drives me crazy.

I don't think the kid transferred. My understanding is that Crockett closed and East Village opened in the same area.
Don't want people to think the kid is school hopping.
