Sparty run defense is really really really good.

We're trying.

They are, they don’t miss tackles and they really flow to the ball. 

Maybe some mis-direction to slow down their pursuit a little bit?

Yea. But can we hold onto the ball? Just keep ozigbo in. Washington isnt ready for this just yet.

Frost is trying.  We're taking plays opposite of pulling linemen.

If we can just break one......

Designed QB runs would accomplish what we want it think. It will slow down their rush and make them commit to stopping it. Then you can burn them. That’s assuming AM can start hitting open guys because if he isn’t more accurate it won’t matter

Designed draws would work for sure.  He just needs to plant and go.

Yep, one big play will probably decide this game. I have to think we can get a pick.

Short passes over the middle of the field seem to be working. Also, sparty secondary is weak. We should be able to complete passes to Stanley Morgan...Martinez looks very timid and scared today...I do not know why...he should have confidence in himself.

He just looks tentative today. All around.

Have to agree here:

I hope someone told the refs to get their crap together 

 

[huskerfan74]

Our defense is playing good enough for us to win the game...I am really surprised our offense is not taking this opportunity to score some TDs.

Was that touchback kick into the wind?!

 

[TheSker]

Why are there so many posts about how "easy" it should be to run against Michigan St?

Have to agree here:

I would say Sam's giving the D credit for the wind.   Passing sucks in this cold wind.   

 

[3rd and long]

They strung that out really well. Watch for that middle run now.

Very nice D!
