That is how I am going to describe the MSU performance over EMU. Or as my dad pointed out, the Emu's. Get it? No? It's a play on words.
There was not a lot of positive to take out of it, other than our defense played OK and that Bell and Sims are the only thing keeping us from being 1-3. MSU looks like the 4th best team in the B1G right now. Behind OSU, Northwestern, Nebraska. Penn State might be as good as us as well, they can certainly pass the ball 100% better. Michigan I would put right about next to us as well.
-University of Michigan (no the) did not fair any better than MSU did against Notre Dame. Denard Robinson looked lost (MSU wide receiver level lost). Three of those picks were just plain bad. From what I can tell, Denard had room to scramble more on some of those picks, and maybe should have. Maybe that is the problem with trying to be a "Michigan" quarterback. Just be Denard, the best player in the B1G. Instead of Denard, the less good version of Braxton Miller (I went there). Along with that, the UM line did not live up to what it was once billed to be. That has a lot to do with the Notre Dame front seven being full on legit. Being a mostly outsider looking in on UM, every time I see UM struggle on offense, I think: why don't they just let Denard run the ball and get the juices flowing?
-Seriosuly though, Ohio State? Theye might be the biggest enigma in the B1G even though they appear, right now, to be the best team. For a team that was supposed to have one of the best defenses in the B1G, they love giving up points to wildly inferior opponents. Along with that, the offense is all Braxton. Take away his gashing run plays, and they are much less dynamic. I will break things if MSU loses next week.
-Penn State looked good against Temple. Temple is a solid Big East team (better than Eastern). Allen Robinson, looks like the best wide out in the B1G. McGloin still makes some bone headed passes/attempted passes but seems a lot more accurate when throwing down field. The running game is a bit up in the air right now. However, if the defense finally has turned it on, they could very well win the Leaders.
That was all the B1G I managed to watch.
Did I mention that CBS is ripping off what Pat already wrote? No seriously, Pat wrote this last Thursday. Now if only we could get the readers they do.
