Ohio State will be number 1 for another week. They were up 24-0 before sights of the 99 game came and they turned it over 2 times in the span of about 1 minute and almost lost another one if the defense would've just fell on it and the ball would've been inside the 20 I believe and they could've gotten a TD out of it. MSU got a FG with about 4 minutes left, but OSU just ran out the clock after that. I thought Dantonio should've went for the onside kick after the FG. You have 2 time-outs left, if they get it you try to stop them, but you got to at least try an onside kick. Probably the worst decision of the game, well except for running the ball when you are only averaging 2.1 yds a carry. I know, I'm probably expecting too much.. but if Hoyer doesn't get pressured and throws that pick deep in his own territory and if the punter (forget his name) can punt it more then 30 yards it may have been a different game. Their defense was great after half, but if they would've passed to Thomas more it'd be a different ballgame. He only got about 6 passes thrown to him, 4 of which he caught. I know Dantonio likes to run the ball, but you think he would've done some slant routes or something.
Good
Defense. They may have let by 3 TD's, and Chris Wells ran all over them, but 2 of the TD's were because of short field position. Besides, They were the only ones for MSU to get the ball in the end zone. (twice)
Devin Thomas. He only had 4 receptions, but he's one of the top recievers in the Big 10. They need to get him some screens like they were doing in other games before this one.
Bad
Running game. I don't give a #### how good Ohio State's defense is, if you aren't getting anywhere, do a Play Action once in a while. One time they do it and Thomas catches it.
Blocking. Javon Ringer only got 49 yards, Hoyer seemed to be getting pressured a lot (which caused the INT which also resulted in a TD the next drive for OSU.) and the line wasn't doing anything right. Dantonio better focus on the line this week.
Next Week
Iowa 3-5 (1-4). The Hawkeyes aren't the best team in the Big 10. MSU tries to clinch a bowl berth again and be in a bowl for the first time in 3 years. They should still stick with the running game because they allow over 100 yds rushing and over 200 passing. Their offense is weak also, only averaging about 15 points a game and a little over 300 yds a game. State should have their way with this one, unless they still are thinking about the OSU game by then. Pick- MSU 28-13.
Oh let's see here... I was an all around athlete in my younger days. I have been to many Tigers and Lions games, will try to make to at least 1 Red Wing game in my lifetime. I like smelling my own farts for enjoyment and like listening to R&B and rap. I think Rasheed is retarted and McGrady is the best in the league when he's healty. I think the Tigers will make the World Series this year and every year in the future. One more thing... testicles... that is all.
