Nice opportunity for the conference to get a good win vs. a ranked B1G team here.

I'm not either but I think they've just got such a good QB-WR combo that it's going to be tough for MSU to hold up all game long.karlhungis wrote:I am not firm for Herm. I think MSU smokes them.
Eno Benjamin is also one hell of a RB. I don’t know any team in the conference with a better QB-WR-RB combination than ASU.Duck07 wrote:I'm not either but I think they've just got such a good QB-WR combo that it's going to be tough for MSU to hold up all game long.karlhungis wrote:I am not firm for Herm.

MSU looks very pedestrian, but what makes that puzzling is they return something like 18 starters. Maybe they read too many of their own press clippings this summer and coasted.Duck24 wrote:Is MSU good or was this two “meh” teams battling it out? Neither team has looked remotely impressive two weeks in. Preseason polls made this game an upset.
They only were able to run the clock down to 4 seconds because they ran it on 3rd down. Had they kicked it on 3rd down, there would have been around 45-50 seconds left so it wouldn't make sense to settle for a field goal in that scenario.Duck07 wrote:So who else believes that Herm did the right thing by making the last snap a "win or overtime" play? Anyone think he should have kicked it on 3rd down in case of a bad snap or hold and then let the defense take the chance? I don't know if anyone has done a study on it but it does seem like the likelihood of the bad snap/hold seems to be awfully low based on all the other snaps/holds throughout games and how often they get bobbled.
I know that, which is why I'm asking who is more a fan of the zero sum situation which Herm went with or the give yourself an out and rest on your defense strategy. Further, if you do have a bad snap on 3rd down with 38 seconds, the clock keeps running and you line up and try again.lukeyrid13 wrote:They only were able to run the clock down to 4 seconds because they ran it on 3rd down.
