For those of you criticizing the offensive game plan, MSU is a great D, especially against the run. We're trying to go over the top to spread out the D to run. MSU also ranks about 100th in the NCAA in penalty yards this season. The game plan exploits their tendency to commit pass interference penalties.

GAIII's been fine IMO. He had a really nice 9 yard run on 2nd down on that last drive, broke a couple tackles as well.

This team is reeealy lacking in an identity on both sides of the ball.

By the way, Wisconsin is destroying Purdue running the ball (262 yards in just two quarters). Just like us last week.. oh.

And a funny note. This is how the Coliseum looks like:

Thoughts:

- GAIII not impressing again.

- Who's calling plays? Lee Corso? When we were on their 30 yard line and it was 3rd and 3, have to run Cam back to back. There's no way they stop him twice. He churns too well.

While GAIII looks like he may have lost a step, I think the play calling has not helped with his performance. He has made a couple good plays this game, along with some bad ones.

You can this team as zombies on the next episode of "The Walking Dead,"...no emotion, no urgency, no spark

- Corey Robinson = stud.

This is the kind of thinking that leads to huge let downs and crying fan bases in the future. He's playing well--that's it.

Ehh. I don't know.

- I like that they're letting it fly down field. They're not completing enough, but it can open up the run. Hopefully.

I've actually really liked the calling. The pressure (from Koyack sucking) have ruined a few of he underneath routes that would have helped big time.

frustrating that they cant split Niklas out because the other TE can't handle the inline stuff

We are doing exactly what I thought we'd do against their man coverage on the outside, but we're not winning the individual matchups as I thought we would and Tommy has been off on quite a few throws today.

If I were to be critical of the first half, I'd say we're looking deep too much and abandoning the intermediate routes. Have we run a slant all game?

Whatever though. It was a disappointing half but we'll be fine. If the offense executes better we should win comfortably.

100% agree.

Fair point, but he's the type of WR that's as close to a sure-fire star as you can get IMO. As a true freshman, all he needs is strength. He already has the hands, frame, and looks fast enough to play the part. And with Longo the strength is a guarantee :).
