Wow, MSU with nearly 500 yards of offense yesterday? 42 points? I didn't think it was possible. Incredible, particularly the 238 yards on the ground and a blistering 10-for-14 (71%) efficiency on third down.
The ES really likes Delton Williams, a big body at RB that we needed desperately. 12 carries, 92 yards, and a 7.7 average. He ran fantastic. 4 TDs and 109 yards on the ground from RB Jeremy Langford. Tony Lippett at WR had his best day as a Spartan, with 6 catches for 64 yards. The ES really loved that 34 yard TD sprint on the end-around run by RJ Shelton. Wow, what a burst of speed. And, the defense? After giving up a 64 yard run in the first minute, they gave up a whopping 28 yards on 26 carries for the rest of the game (total of 92 yards on the ground for Indiana). That's just domination.
The most hilarious play of the day? With MSU leading 42-21 early in the 4th quarter, Indiana got greedy. They received one of the few Spartan punts at their own 35, but MSU was called for an illegal motion. Instead of taking the ball at the 35, they forced the Spartans to punt over. Tisk, tisk. All-American Mike Sadler responded with a 69 yard punt, and Indiana instead started at its own 4. That defined the afternoon, and that ended any chance the Hoosiers had. The ES was roaring with laughter. Indiana coach Kevin Wilson just flat-out blew it with that bone-headed decision.
