ES thoughts on #5 MSU win at Western

Initial thoughts about the Big Green's 37-24 victory over WMU in Kalamazoo. Before I look at the stats:

1. Coach D brought vanilla, and it showed. No wrinkles on offense (no trick plays, no reverses, etc), no wrinkles on defense (did we blitz? ES couldn't tell). He's keeping his cards close to his vest for the Oregon game. So, what you saw basically was a high school scheme - line up, and play straight up. The better talent won. Nothing more. Yawn. I should have stayed home and saved $150.

2. DB concern. Re #1 above, WMU figured it out at half and adjusted.
