I am going to say the quiet part out loud here. Let’s go ahead and “Tecmo Bowl coach” this game and hang 100 on Sparty
Forget “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” stuff. Day took pity on MSU last year in the second half, I say, “All STOP— NO MORE!” Blitz every play, if they hit a home run, who cares, more time on the clock for our offense. Fair catch every punt inside the 5 and run kickoffs out of bounds inside the 5. More yards for our offense. Take a few penalties here and there on offense to get more yards. Go for every fourth down, again, who cares if we don’t get it? They will not outscore us. Put the second team in and let them eat once we eclipse the 50 point mark. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, the enemy of my enemy is an opportunity to put the fear of 100 points in my enemy.
