This is becoming an increasingly more difficult piece to do on a weekly basis when you have games where nothing really happens for 90% of it. The pattern seems to pretty clear at this point. Michigan State’s defense shuts teams down, and the offense struggles.
Post Penn State, so the start of the MSU quarterback controversy, the offense has had one game where the passing game has been anywhere close to decent, and that was the Purdue game.
The rushing attack has the same problem, with one decent game over that stretch, which was the Maryland win.
