Biggest crowd in Ohio State history, over 108,000 people, watched MSU gift the 2-TD favorite Buckeyes their advantage, but nothing more. Only 132 yards and 5 first downs from the "Mighty Buckeyes", and the Spartans won with two backup quarterbacks - not the trio of Buckeye QBs. Gerald Holmes, LJ Scott, Damion Terry, Tyler O'Connor combined for more than 200 yards rushing. That guy - yeah that Heisman guy, Ezekiel Elliott? 12 carries for 33 yards. Hilarious.
Now, all the Ohio State fans are whining and lighting up the Twittersphere. And, Elliott and company are bailing because they don't know how to lose. How classy is it when your Heisman-contending back says "there's no way I'm coming back next year." What a sissy. If I were a Buckeye fan or alumni, I would be embarrassed. Instead, I am laughing.
Dear God, GROW UP Buckeyes. You are lower than low. Gouge Away, Buckeyes.
This was a brilliant defensive performance by Michigan State. It's not about Ohio State. It's about the MSU defense which had to have its best performance to hope to beat the Buckeyes. MSU hit OSU straight in the mouth, made them bleed. We pounded them and pushed them around all game long. It's easily Michigan State's best defensive performance since the Rose Bowl in 2004. OMG, look at the stats:
MSU OSU FIRST DOWNS................... 17 5 NET YARDS RUSHING............. 203 86 Rushing Attempts............ 51 29 Average Per Rush............ 4.0 3.0 NET YARDS PASSING............. 91 46 Completions-Attempts-Int.... 8-16-0 9-16-0 TOTAL OFFENSE YARDS........... 294 132 Total offense plays......... 67 45 Average Gain Per Play....... 4.4 2.9 Fumbles: Number-Lost.......... 2-2 0-0 Possession Time............... 38:10 21:50 Third-Down Conversions........ 7 of 15 4 of 14
I had mentioned before that we have not had a complete game all year and except for the two turnover it was certainly a complete effort by the defense and considering that CC was not playing and the atrocity weather a pretty good effort by the offense. OSU had not been impressive all year long and similar to us won but not in a convincing way.
ReplyDeleteyesterday was historic.
With the basketball team beating the number 4 team in the country and now OSU the number three team, could be the best week in Spartan sports history.
Very proud to be a Spartan.
