If they need those comments to get pumped up for the biggest game of the year, then they have issues. I'm sure they do not "need" them, but anyone will use it if they can find it. It says nothing about issues or not. Think of it this way. MSU has to pass more, because they can't run as well. It looks like MSU runs more often than they throw. Of course our rushing attack is better, I am making no arguments to the contrary. Quote Link to comment

Hercules Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I guess this is how I look at it: If imaginary Team A rushes 200 times for 0 yards, and passes 200 times for 3000 yards, while Team B rushes 300 times for 1500 yards and passes 100 times for 1500 yards, which team is more balanced?

stlspartan Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Because MSU is a running team, when they have been forced to pass and have been successful at it, they are perceived as being balanced. On the other hand Nebraska thinks of itself as a running team as well, but either hasn't been forced to pass or hasn't been as successful at it so they are "less balanced". You can read it two ways... either MSU isn't as good at running as they should be or Nebraska isn't as good at passing as they should be. Quote Link to comment

Heh...if they need those stupid interview quotes to get "pumped up" for this game they have a combined IQ of a gerbil. But zero chance that they do as they know full well how big this baby is. GBR!!

Enhance Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I've come to realize over the years that "balanced" means three different things. 1) If you throw for more yards than you run, but you can still run OK, you're balanced. 2) If you run the football a lot, you're not balanced. 3) If you throw the football a lot, you need to work on being more balanced. ESPN is not the only group of analysts that likes to throw the term "balanced" out there about as often as they do moxie. Always remember this, however - Nebraska, throughout the last several decades when running the football has been the priority, has consistently been told they will lose games because they're not balanced. Time and again, Nebraska proved otherwise. I'm not saying this means Nebraska will win, but our fan base should be more than accustomed to hearing people say more balanced teams will beat us.

Animal_Mother Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I don't know who is more balanced and I do not care. I think it is going to be a kick-ass game to watch. GBR! Quote Link to comment

The ABC/CBS/etc announcers in the 80s & 90s used to say the same thing endlessly....."We won't reach the championship level without being more balanced!". Thank Goodness TO didn't listen to them.....
