Notre Dame-MSU

There's no thread, so I thought I'd make one. ND looks awful without even running an offensive play. A penalty and a timeout before even starting.

Their first drive didn't start out so well. They've been dominating since.

That's because Dantonio is an asshole, but his D got us a national championship. Respect.

I really can't believe how underwhelming Sparty is this year. Or is Notre Dame really this improved?

Jason: I say it's both. ND is a pretty good team and MSU has no offense outside of Bell.

Sparty has a good running game, but nothing to complement it in the air (it could develop, but it's not there now).  Their D is pretty good, but ND's O is pretty good - Sparty O needs to get something going to keep their D from getting worn down.  ND's D is improved and isn't aweful, but their not great.  Both teams are ultimately just a little better than average...

Sparty will lose. Stanford I'm not so sure, looking good at this point though.

I think it's fair to say Sparty misses Kirk Cousins.  He was a pretty good QB who gave that O the chance to make people pay on play action and vertical plays- the constrants you need to hit to make a power running game work.

Cousins was a fairly mediocre QB in my mind. Nothing special.

^ This

[Edit: Sorry, too slow, meant the second one up.  Although Cousins was/is a bit overrated, he was competent and consistent and could make play-action work]

Mediocre, perhaps.  But, he was good in the offense they had, compared to their current model.

At least if we go undefeated we won't have to feel shafted for not making the NCG because our conference sucks...

Given Stanford's quarterback's skillset, shouldn't it be Stanford, oui?

Is the B10 really this bad? Michigan State's qb throws a two yard pass on 4th and 6 with 5 minutes left? You can't even try for a first down?

This is the one year where I wish we weren't the best team in the B1G, we really are...O'Brien at Wisconsin? Are there QB recruits so bad that he can come in and start day 1?

Anyone that pushes us into the top ten didn't watch what I watched... we play Stanford and/or ND and we lose worse...

I don't know if we'd lose worse. Cal finally put a game together today. Our D and O had their issues today, but Cal came to play and didn't have a lot of break downs. The ones they had were promptly taken advantage of.

D and O has had their issues all year. At some point we have to realize Urban is going to need more than a partial offseason to whip these guys into shape. He may have made them more in shape but they've proven they don't have the football part figured out yet. Not one gam ebut three games against lower level opponents.

Who is the upper level opponent we'll play?  Michigan State is probably the best the B1G has to offer, maybe Purdue or Northwestern lol.  Not exactly any "upper level" opponents on the schedule this year. 

New staff and offense, it's going ot take this team a while to figure everything out.  That's why I've said people who think we'll go 12-0 are nuts.  There's going to be a game where playing like they did yesterday bites them in the ass.
