The Good, The Bad, The Random in MSU football’s blown lead vs. Penn State

Happy weekend and happy halftime if you’re reading this during the MSU-Oakland game!

Not going to lie, yesterday’s loss sucked. Not great seeing a double-digit lead evaporate to a double-digit loss within 30 minutes of game time.

Let’s try to make sense of it.

THE GOOD

The offense for the first half was great, which is one more half than I would have guessed. Payton Thorne is clearly the guy heading into the 2021 season and its his job to lose. He looked poised, threw an accurate ball on intermediate routes and also a beautiful deep ball to Nailor.
