Hope the team doesn't have as defeatist an attitude as some on this board. I think there is little evidence that they will get blown out and I believe they have the ability to win the game. It will be a good game no matter who wins. Go Irish!

How good do you think MSU's lines are on offense and defense? Basically I'm trying to compare them to Standford. Re watching some of the game last night we didn't dominate the line of scrimmage on either side of the ball. I'm hoping that MSU just has above average lineman, I know their OL line is built to pound it. But on defense we weren't really getting any push either.

Also a big key for me is to end this big play streak. Robinson's 80yd run was a huge momentum shifter (and more annoyingly huge highlight reel clip). And Baker's run was just unacceptable. The line got crushed and Teo and Carlo totally over pursued and took themselves out of the play. I watched it 10 times last night. Baker got past the line of scrimmage and had a 15 ft hole in the secondary. Nobody even near him. The only person who had a chance was Harrison and he bought a juke and Baker was gone.

Actually here's the clip.
