I had two two-hour drives, one on Sunday and one today. I did a lot of thinking about all of the comments here about the game (not the post game). Let's see.....UM was favored by what??? 25 points. Every sane person was expecting a blow out and UM was planning on embarrassing MSU by running up the score.
So the final score way 29-7. That is a smaller margin than the odds AND you have to say 7 of UM's points were a gift from our 2nd team long snapper. Without that snap it probably would have been 22-7. Add in a dumb PF penalty by Horst on the first drive (that looked like it might end in a score) killed the drive.
I'm not smart enough to know if Thorne is a MAC QB or not, but he led the team to only 2 losses last year. I don't know if JJ's offensive plan is good or bad (I know I would have called some different plays, but so would every fan), I don't know is Scotty's D scheme is any good or not, but the past two games have looked pretty good.
All in all, we didn't show too badly Saturday other than losing.
Let's forget UM until next year (then kick their ass) and go beat Illinois. Go Green.
