****Michigan State Game Day Thread****

It just kills me how we always have the tendency to make mediocre teams look like world beaters. We always play down to our competition. At some point, the team needs to dominate lower competition. We are not there yet.

Listing to the radio broadcast, we’ve got receivers open all over the field. I’d consider putting Purdy in to wing the ball to a few of them.

The last few years we've done pretty horrible when putting a QB in the game cold.  We get turnovers more than anything.  I doubt he takes much 1st team snaps as a 3rd stringer.

Who cares how it gets there. That’s a result of our offense putting pressure on them. 

Exactly.  Those two D holding penalties were because the DB was getting beat.

Yep. It's not Satterfield's fault. Haarberg just doesn't see open receivers.

How do you go through progression when there are 2 or 3 green jerseys in the backfield?  It's one and done passing.

It’s Game 9 of the season. Could we please learn to at least spell Sims name correctly?

We are at best a mediocre team.  This is by far our easiest game left, so it would be nice to win.

Why not run the clock down before the TO?????  Seriously dumb

Exactly.  Why give msu a chance with a kick return?  The little things matter.

Rhule is not known for time management. He is a good player developer but time management is not his strength.

[Undone]

Ricky has to stop throwing it to guy's that are covered.

 

And Satterfield should probably let up on the called passes on 1st downs. We're getting into so many 3rd & longs and that's not where you want Haarberg. Coaching needs to make some small tweaks here at halftime.

Newsflash, Nebraska is a mediocre team too!!

At times I am unsure he sees any receiver with his ball placement or he simply throws that bad.

When a hold wipes out another really really poor thrown pick, it kind of does

[ColoradoHusk]

Michigan State’s D weakness is defending deep passes. The issue is that NU can’t easily exploit it.
