Well, the Central Michigan Chippewas did a number on my boys. The Spartan defense failed to put any pressure on LeFevour late in the game , and our secondary allowed 400 bizillion yards or something like that. I really felt that as long as the chips defense was out there, they would surley buckle, but I think conservative play calling and PENALTIES not only gave the chips A LOT of extra chances to complete plays and make first downs , they also prevented us from extending drives. If there was a game to make mistakes and such, coachable stuff that can be eliminated or improved, thsi was an example of it. I have to say, even AFTER review, I think the last TD by CMU was bunk. I dont htink the guy was ever in bounds when he caught the pass. Obviously the officials felt differently,but the BTN broadcast caught an angle that sure looked like CMU's receiver was out of bounds. Different game if that call goes the other way. It doesnt take away from the fact that MSU needed to put LeFevour on his butt a whole lot more.I dont think the defensive strategy was up to par really. I didnt see any blitz packages that I felt were going to be effective against CMU. We didnt attack the weakness, and really I didnt see any change of plans at the half way mark. Im not on suicide watch, or condemning the staff or players.It was a disappointment against a school with a pretty good team. How CMU managed to lose to Arizona, I will chalk up to jet lag or something, because Im confident, we could blow away Arizona. Anyway, the coaching staff has their hands full with this weeks opponent, the dreaded Notre Dame. This is rival number two of two. Notre Dame looked pretty good against UM this week in a shoot out that scored the most points out of ALL the games between the Wolverinoes and the Irish douche squad. I thought Nicholl looked really good,and Cousins did ok. We need to find some running game, and it doesnt start with sweep left, sweep right bullcrap like I saw on Saturday. We need to run up the guts and off tackles MUCH MORE.Pull em into the middle then let the horses run up the sidelines to catch passes. the tightends looked great and a game ball to BJ Cunningham for making some great catches.
On a another note, KUDOS to Ohio State. Although they should have won by a large margin, I thought they made a good showing anyway. I saw lots of Bucks scrap it out with abandon for all safety, and you have to credit the crowd at the Shoe for leaving it all there, and firing every shot in the gun. Thad Gibson is a stud, and I want him. We will make plans to kidnap him for MSU fiendish plans. Pete Carrol is a lucky douche, and USC will NOT be Nat.Champ. The freshman QB for USC should thank his lucky stars hes been groomed for the job, because anyone else would have fallen apart Saturday under the scrutiny of the OSU home crowd. I only wish we could have that kind of energy every game at MSU. I do my part, and the crowd follows L.O.S.T's examples, but it doesnt start until we get there. Well, back to drawing board for MSU.
