Also, you can't let NW run for 4-5 yards a pop. They can't run the ball. Worthy is out or limited. The corners are weak. The QB run is getting just enough, and given the number of slipped arm tackles by MSU, its a wonder this game is even close.
NW scores again. 17-0 after a missed field goal by MSU.
Missed tackles, injuries, and lack of pressure have exposed this secondary for what it is: overrated. To be fair, with Rucker in and Dennard healthy, this team is a lot better. But, they sure aren't showing it now.
Also, can we stop with the play action? Here's the deal. Play action is effective AFTER you establish the run. MSU hasn't established the run, pass, or that they are a Division 1 team. This is sick.
And don't tell me about "the biggest comeback" story again. That was Drew Stanton. If Drew Stanton was on this team they would be a LEGIT top 5 team in the country. This is not a comeback team. Not like that Stanton team.
17-7.
Finally, a sign of life. Get it to playmakers. Get it to Baker. Get it to Cunningham. Get it to Dell.
You still have to get a stop here before the half. Maybe, just maybe, a pick 6. This defense is due to buckle down and make something happen. The offense made the first move, for the first time this year, now the defense needs to feed off the offense.
Halftime.
Broke open the IPA. Should this work, I'll be taking IPA sponsors for each of the upcoming games. Should really free up my budget (and tongue) to give more analysis.
24-14.
Persa is, well, doing just enough. Missed tackles continue to haunt. The offense needs to move the ball and score. MSU still has to run.
