NC State is playing not to lose and is gonna lose. I don't trust their kicker.

NCSU's cooked now, after that last missed FG.

Except that time we beat MSU in 2005 I think that holds true.
October 15th, 2016 at 3:56 PM ^
thats often the case - huge difference bw playing to win and playing not to lose, obviously.
i do feel bad for kickers in those situations though. even if they stretch on the side for long stretches of practice and maybe not take conditioning as seriously, and even though they may only have 1 job, its still a tough gig. by nature, youre either the hero or the scapegoat. i didnt know our kickers all that well but its obviously extremely difficult to face teammates in the locker room after missing a kick

These missed FGs are killing me. Even when it's not my own favorite team doing the missing.

Lewerke the RS FR starting at QB for MSU

The following is taken directly from the Illinois Loyalty blog:
Congrats to Lovie Smith becoming 1st Illinois non-interim head coach in inaugural season to win a B1G game since Lou Tepper (1992)
It doesn't get any better than that, does it?

I went to law school at Illinois so I sort of keep half an eye on U of I. The game thread is full of TWIS material -- and this is for a game they won even if it was Rutgers.

Clemson probably wins this game in OT now, but whoever in fact wins, they will have more or less won that completely by accident.
Meanwhile, over on BTN, Lewerke just found out that Northwestern is not terribly good at defending the edge. Still.
October 15th, 2016 at 3:48 PM ^
just threw a TD. Don't know why that guy wasn't starting already.
October 15th, 2016 at 3:52 PM ^
He's a freshman. He may not have been ready earlier.
I'm glad we get this preview of him, and the limited playbook he'll probably have, right now.
October 15th, 2016 at 4:05 PM ^
O'Connor and Terry are known quantities. The biggest advantage about Lewerke is that there's no real scouting reports on him.
Now that State's playing him we're going to have two games worth of scouting on him. Plus, he'll be playing two very medicore teams, so the jump up in competition from Northwestern/Maryland to our D will be drastic.
I love how Dantonio did this honesly. Start Lewerke late enough that MSU's season is already shot, but early enough to give us plenty of film to look at. Thanks Mork.

Lewerke TD pass to Josiah Price and MSU leads 7-0.
Cue MSU fans talking about Lewerke being the savior and how MSU will crush us with him now.
October 15th, 2016 at 3:50 PM ^
October 15th, 2016 at 3:50 PM ^
No, no, no.
It's clearly the return of Bullough that's going to lead this team to the Super Bowl.

But you're still basing it on one drive.
Last week against BYU, MSU marched right down and scored to open the game, too.

Well, look at it this way: MSU is putting all this on film for us to sift through the next couple weeks.

No way in hell does Clemson deserve to stay at #3. Not even top 5.

I'd like to watch a game that actually matters.

I'm not sure a whole lot of 3:30 games actually "matter" today. The MSU-NW game is about to get out of hand.
October 15th, 2016 at 4:01 PM ^
Clemson rushes the field after every win. It's their tradition to "gather at the paw".
October 15th, 2016 at 4:01 PM ^
Clayton Thorson is so bad.
October 15th, 2016 at 4:01 PM ^
Oranges craps the bed and somehows wins in the noon game. Orange craps the bed (as per their norm this year) and gets its doors blown off in the late afternoon game lol..
