A few weeks ago, I crossed another B1G stadium off the list when I took my son to MSU's game against Akron. You obviously wouldn't know it from looking at the score, but Akron's offense had considerable success moving the ball on MSU in the first quarter. Now, Akron's QB scrambles quite a bit more than Stroud will need to, but what I saw on the field that day (and what a lot of the TV angles of that game didn't show) was just how out-of-position and slow-to-respond the MSU secondary continues to be this year. In the intermediate passing game, Akron was getting chunk yardage. They just kept fumbling the ball. In a world where Akron converts, they put up 17-21 points on MSU in the first quarter.

I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on MSU, but as a guy who saw them in person, the lack of a dynamic RB is not their biggest concern this year. Stroud is going to have a huge day passing.
