MSU Game

[AFGuin]

South Florida gave up 53 to an FCS school last week
Michigan State is only winning vs USF 7-6 at halftime today

if we dont beat MSU then this is going to be a bad year, they have a god awful team

[ysufan0505]

Yeah I watched a little of the game.... Not impressed at all

[penguinpower]

What is the line on this game?

[Wick250]

Michigan State certainly had some issues on offense during the first two weeks.  But let's not get carried away.  They have better football players than we do, especially on defense.  They will have 80,000 fans in the seats, and Delaney's Big Ten officials will not give us any 50-50 calls.  Furthermore, we have no idea what we can or cannot do against a real team.  Let's just hope for a competitive game.  No stupid turnovers.  If we are still there in the fourth quarter, pressure shifts entirely to them.

Does anyone know if the game will be broadcast on a local station?

No one is getting carried away, MSU is a bottom feeder type team this year, if we cant beat them we aren't beating NDSU, NIU or any other hard teams we play this year

What are you talking about?  They have a national championship defense with national championship special teams and an offense that is inept.

purdue and Iowa are bottom feeders.

[ysuindy]

Sparty's defense has given up 100 yards total rushing in two games on 52 attempts.

They are fourth in the nation in sacks, 14th in scoring defense.

The defense has four touchdowns in two games.

If anyone thinks a loss to Sparty means that YSU is destined for failure in the MVFC, they are clueless.

The only reason YSU might have even a chance in this game is the ineptness of Sparty's offense.

AFGuins knows everything about high school and college football. Do not question his vast knowledge.

As an aside, Ursuline faced MSU QB's Tyler O'Connor (Lima Central Catholic) and Damian Terry (Erie Cathedral Prep) in the past 3 seasons. Although both are very talented, Damian Terry completely ate apart Ursuline's defense last year and was one of the best quarterbacks I've seen in person yet. He did not play last week due to an illness, but Dantonio expects that he may play.

He has that IT factor that the MSU offense has not seen this year and I would argue last year. He is mobile and has a rocket for an arm. Only thing that we have going for us is this will be his first college football game. Our defense best be ready.

They dont have anything close to national championship defense or ST.  They will not finish above .500. they are a putrid, putrid team.

I am beginning to think youe are thick in the head or a fan that is delusional. They have more scholarships and more athletes than we do. They are a slow starting offense just as tOSU was under tressel. MSU is not as good as tOSU was, but we will have great difficulty moving the ball on that defense. We have a shot if we can keep the game close. One thing you need to remember is that when we play good defenses Hess tends to struggle in the passing game. Most of our WR's will be overmatched with their DB's. MSu has proven they can score and win football ga$es with their defense. Their special teams will keep the field long for us.

If we don't turn the ball over and if we can find some success running and passing we have a chance to keep it close enough to have a shot in the 4th qtr. That is as long as our defense can contain them.

You are coming off as if WMu and USF are cupcakes. Boith of them played MSU tough. But the better athletes pulled away in the end. We will certainly have our hands full. This will not be like the Pitt game. Pitt let our receivers and TE's free in the secondary. You won't see that against MSU. We will have to earn evertything. There will be no gifts. Also would like to point out the youth of our OL and DL this will nake it even more difficult.

Power, excellent points.  By the way, does anyone else think that our new friend, AFGuins, is actually a high school student?  Could you comprehend a former YSU player calling a Big Ten team "putrid?"  Would a former YSU player fail to know the correct abbreviation for Northern Iowa?  Wait for the name-calling directed at me for offering this hypothesis.  It will be another demonstration of failing to act like a grown-up.
