For today's Against All Odds piece, I dare to ask the question of whether it is too soon to make a joke about the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand? Maybe? (Bonus points if anyone can get this reference beyond simple world history.)
I had to dig deep for this, but I think that it is a pretty solid analysis on all fronts. THE key factor for me both in the Oregon loss and going forward is the play in the trenches. If the poor showing in Eugene was an isolated incident, partially fueled by fatigue and jetlag, then I think MSU will finish strong, make a bowl game, and basically be OK. MSU still has two bye weeks and only needs to leave the state once more (at Illinois) all year.
I also did a little math that shows that relative to the preseason math and expectations, MSU is still slightly ahead of schedule.

Dr. Green and White Against All Odds, Week Six: Trenched
On the western front on Friday night, MSU was beaten in the trenches. Did we do any better on the betting front?
