I think we are better offensively, but they are better defensively. They actually have a pass rush. But, we are not a better team. We look pretty equal in my opinion.

Maybe there are some special teams PhDs out there that can explain to me why it isn't a good idea to try to at least pressure if not block the punt in that situation? If you're not likely not going to be able to return it, why not make them keep more guys in to block so they aren't just standing at the goal line waiting to down the ball?

In case they fake it.

On a side note, did anybody see Jimbo Fisher kick the Showtime camera crew off the sideline today?

OK I knew that someone would say that, but you don't have to rush 11 kamikaze style. I just hate seeing the ball snapped and everyone stand up at the line of scrimmage. Go after the punter. Faking a punt is a low percentage play. You have a biology major trying to throw against 1 on 1 coverage 15 yards down the field against 4 star cornerbacks. Let them do that if they want.

Ha. I kind of agree.

Sitting here amazed that we are trailing. Dominated the opening quarter and now we look like straight butt.

I would hate to see our 3rd down percentage on defense.

Missed an OBVIOUS false start on MSU... goes for huge gain.
