***Michigan State vs Iowa***

[Wing-Back]

Surprised they didn't flag MSU for a head shot on the interception.

+1 same type hit as Gerry

 

[Lincoln100]

We also need a competent OC.

He's going to become much more competent when there is a QB who can find and throw to an open receiver.

 

[bigboxes]

I'm loving this game. As soon as I admire something that Iowa had done and then your applauding State. This is fun. Sure wish it was us. Great defense, good discipline, suspense. What more could you ask for?

 

[newAD]

I feel like MSU has a kicker from FSU from the late 80s early 90s.

 

[meo1960]

Doink!

I blame BO! Cool

 

[red rover 70]

Oh please - we need major help at LB, DE. We were barely able to field people to fill those spots at times this year. We had the same problem at DB and were close to pulling red shirts just to have enough bodies late in the season. Safety is not a sterling area for this D as well. So we really even know the depth on the OL since we didn't actually see it used? On paper maybe, but not on the field. Time will tell but there are holes all over the place.

That's because we have over 20 players that RFR and FR at those two defensive positions. We are so young as a team it's scary what we could do as a team in years to come. But to get there we need quality depth and talent at quarterback.

At least this kid can hit the goalpost and not go wide right.

Yeah, I too have trouble following these dual narratives:

1.) There's no point in even trying to run the ball, because the O Line sucks and the RBs are no good.
2.) All we need is a competent QB, and our problems will be solved.

 

[newAD]

Wow, Calhoun decided to show up today.

 

[jteten]

Gus Johnson makes my ears bleed my own blood.

The PAC12 game is much much more enjoyable to watch.

 

[Husker-N-VA]

These two teams seem very evenly matched.

 

[DerHusker]

Great catch by Lang

 

[newAD]

Before that last pass, my thought was QB change for MSU. Maybe he should get a few more plays.

 

[regionsdoc]

These two teams seem very evenly matched.

Iowa could have been called for at least 3 targeting calls tonight. Wonder if their fans will see the irony ........

 

[whiplash]

Look at all those Iowa DBs leading with their helmet and making contact.

 

[newAD]

No. They do no wrong.

 

[DerHusker]

And it's tied up!

 

[Wing-Back]

No. They do no wrong.

This game sucks.

 

[red rover 70]

Field goal Sparty

Michigan State- 6
Iowa- 6

 

[Lincoln100]

Yes, and whichever one wins better hope they draw Clemson, because I think they will get destroyed by the other two.

 

[newAD]

Yep screw the rankings. If Clemson is in I'd want to be seeded 4th. Don't want to play Bama first and give Saban that much time to prepare.

 

[newAD]

Maybe Sparty can start opening up some holes.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

Iowa D may be getting tired

 

[newAD]

Oh sure, now in this game Sparty gets called for that.

 

[newAD]

At least this kid can hit the goalpost and not go wide right.

Guess he just sucks from 52.

 

[red rover 70]

Michigan State- 9
Iowa- 6

 

[newAD]

Fire Sparty's DC.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

That is sooooo odd...why is the Iowa staff putting their QB in good spots?

 

[The Mean Farmer]

Ugh. I don't want Iowa to win this.

 

[jimbosc]

Monster play there by Iowa - I think the Fox announcer lost his headset (and his mind) on that play....lol

 

[HuskerO]

Are these announcers from Iowa?

 

[red rover 70]

Ugh. I don't want Iowa to win this.

No worries... Graduation will take care of any Hawkeye dreams.

 

[mwulf]

Go Iowa ...Love to see them in the playoff ...they can beat Clemson

 

[newAD]

Cook not looking right tonight. Injuries?

If he isn't hurt then I don't know what his problem is. I was more impressed with him 2 years ago than I have been this year.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

No worries... Graduation will take care of any Hawkeye dreams.

I wish that Riley would graduate

 

[dawills]

We have one. Just not the QB to make the right plays.

Langsdorf calls plays like he's still in the nfl, that has to change

 

[SkerInCo]

This game sucks. The big 10 is a joke this year.

 

[red rover 70]

I wish that Riley would graduate

Riley's going to be here for awhile. And next year our young players will be a year older. While Iowa will be back to square one.

 

[CatColumbia]

Does Iowa loose a lot to graduation?
