I am about to jump off a building. We were screwed. We played terrible. Crap. So much for the playoff.
To answer the questions posted by the ES last week:
- Which team will show up? The 2012 Spartans showed up. Can't finish.
- Will Tyler O'Connor show up? His real self did. Tyler O'Connor just is not a playmaker. It ain't gonna happen with him at the controls. It does not help being handcuffed by the referees.
- Will Dave Warner show up? Not in overtime he didn't - the questioning leading to a time-out (and visible frustration from Coach D), followed by a pair of sacks and a missed FG left a big turd. O'Connor has GOT to throw the ball on third down - get rid of it, don't take the sack; and, well, Geiger - he Geigered it. Warner had GREAT play calling on the final drive to put MSU in position to go to OT. But, overall, fairly unimaginative.
- Will the defensive line show up? Not in the second half when it mattered
- Who will show up? WHAT IS WITH ALL THE PENALTIES!!!!! I give up. Look below.
