Nice choke by the cats. Gave up 22 points in the 4th quarter to a team that only averages 24 per game.

MSU finally goes on top. Probably will get it done now.

DONU - 24 tOSU - 21 Passing - 190 Rushing - 210

a chance to equal our stride

Selected for the Semper Fi All-Star game. Didn't realize they selected long snappers for those games but that's good for him.

Selected for the Semper Fi All-Star game.

Will play in the Semper Fi All-Star game.

Rescheduled his visit to Oregon to later in the year. NU, Oregon & Cal currently the top three. Might be worried that Oregon doesn't have a spot for him anymore.

Nice job of bounding back by Indiana. Should have a nice lead at halftime of their Homecoming game.

oh boy. i could never bet on a game. i could not handle it. Unfortunately MSU was my pick in my B1G eliminator this week. Though I could squeak them through with a lot of tough games this week. I guess I have to hope they squeak out the W.....

you'd be surprised. (that was a joke, but probably as much as us?) I know they give him notes but he threw out some names and stats like he knew what he was saying, but like you said who really knows... yeah, well how much do any of the talking heads really know? statistics say not a lot. I'm sure he got some help but he spit out some stats without looking down. Doesn't mean he knows anything about who's going to win but at least seemed to have a pretty good interest in college football. I was impressed.

I really think we need to play more zone defense as we've done somewhat since UCLA. Keep the LBs (at least the ones not blitzing ) and CBs looking forward at Miller so he can't run for 20 yards before anyone gets close to him. Two deep safeties over the top is fine until they prove they can beat us over the top a couple times. GBR!!!

Runs for 124 yards on 23 carries and scores three TDs as Southwest has to rally to beat Norfolk.

MSU down 17 in the first quarter. They are 112th in scoring offense. They are 1-2 against non-directional schools and are now losing big to the perennial doormat of the B1G. Not looking good for the supposed favorites of the Legends.

Loved the look on Herbie's face when Corso pulled out the live chicken!

How old was he during his junior year of high school? 16, 17 years old? Only really been a QB for 4 or 5 years, Now he finally has coach and offensive system that is stable. He made the effort and work to be a better QB. May not be the best QB in college football or Geno Smith. But the kid has heart, talent, and the mentality of the great QB and great football player. Quite possibly one and the same.

If this is the case, we'll be in good shape.

Here's hoping we break out some of our new-found zone D - corners and LBs underneath with safeties over the top. Not having 6-7 people turn and run at the snap would go a long way toward containing a mobile QB.

Another excellent contribution to political discourse.

Didn't come up with that directly but pretty much what I was thinking.

I will be watching but . . . meh. Odds are that they won't be too significant. Unless someone (Romney) manages to shove his foot in his mouth. Its kinda sad that the main thing that may come from the debates is just a screw up, otherwise they are coached to stay on script, and odds are they even know the general idea of the questions asked, and wont be held to actually answering the question and just talking around an answer. So far, so true.

Agreed. Blaming the Oline, Tmart, or "any" part of our offense for that loss is just silly. Well, you know, the defense did it's job by holding UCLA to 36 points (34 minus the safety), but the offense failed theirs by not scoring at least 37. Hows that for looney logic? Some are just so preset on blaming certain people that nothing pleases. Just like the guy that was cut off sports nightly last night for being a complete idiot. The best, and maybe most important assessment of the line this year is the penalty situation. Hardly none at all. What'd they have Saturday? One holding call was it a believe. (4th qtr clip was on Ameer). No false starts, again, if I recall. That is just a flat out impresssive improvement. Bill Callahan is that you???

"Down by contact" has no bearing in college. It is only an NFL rule.

This doesn't apply. This is when a player falls to the ground and the ball comes loose "AND THEN" the ball touches the ground before they've "caught" the ball. So you're falling, land on your back, ball pops out. The ball has to be loose before it makes contact with the ground - in which case it's an incomplete pass. However, if the receiver had possession of the football, the ball first makes contact with ground "and then" comes loose - it's a catch. Otherwise, if you applied this rule to all catches (which you have to correct?), then a RB that receives the ball in the backfield and runs for 50 yards before being tackled, however goes down and as he does the ball comes into contact with the ground and (while he still has possession) it comes loose...then the ball would be 50 yards back at the original line of scrimmage and ruled as incomplete (when it was clearly a complete pass). The argument isn't whether it was complete/incomplete...it's whether he officially had possession before the ball hit the turf. That's why this rule specifies "in the process of completing a catch". That's the only time it applies. So was Enunwa in the process of completing the catch, or did he already have possession? I think he clearly did. So did the announcers. The difference is where they were when they caught the ball. The rules are different if you catch the ball with your feet (or foot) on the ground vs. catch the ball while in the air. If you catch the ball while in the air, you have to maintain control all the way to the ground, whether that's just two feet or your whole body. That's why your analogy with the RB running 50 yards doesn't apply. He either caught the ball with his feet on the ground or returned to the ground and began running while in control so it is a completed catch. If you catch it in the air, you have to maintain control through going to the ground with whatever body parts hit the ground in the time immediately following the catch. Just because your feet hit first doesn't "complete the catch" if the rest of your body goes to the ground immediately afterwards.
