Peppers Not on Dressed List, Chesson/Hill Are
Moot point for Peppers if he is all he is made out to be, we just basically lost his services for the year as he is not going to be a 5th year guy. No reason not to RS him if he is missing games as November approaches.
Chesson and Hill are on the dress list but as we know from prior weeks that doesn't mean much.
Nick B also says Morris is taking snaps pregame although right now the difference between Russ and Shane is negligible.

HOKE FOOLED 'EM!
*Michigan State throws entire game plan into the garbage*
*contemplates just forfeiting*

I don't normally swear but FUCK - what is going on with Peppers? This is more frustrating than McGary.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:04 PM ^
The interwebz has speculated about bone chips in his knee for a good 3-4 weeks now.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:00 PM ^
@nickbaumgardner "Shane Morris is taking snaps this week in warmups. Hasn't since Minnesota. So he looks good to go, as Hoke said."
October 25th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
Oops, will edit it. Thought it said the word not in there. Moot point based on how they have performed this year.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:00 PM ^
Not related - there is a plane flying over Spartan Stadium with banner "Keep Brady Hoke... please"
And a group of shirtless MSU students also have Keep Brady Hoke on their chests. I assume they are all male.
Yes it's at that point when rival fanbases are wishing for our couch to continue. We are on full on Bobby Williams era now.

MSU 49 UM 3
October 25th, 2014 at 3:13 PM ^
Avoiding a shut out will be a moral victory.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:05 PM ^
To be fair, I don't think MSU wants to continue anybody's couch.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:07 PM ^
True that.
But is there much difference between the coach and a couch at this point other than the khakis and clapping?
October 25th, 2014 at 3:13 PM ^
Which explains Hoke's coaching tenure with the Ottoman Empire

Maybe Davenport University in GR---now that they have a football program, the next step might be to lure a head coach that has had a taste of Division I football.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:07 PM ^
I want to keep the couch, too. It's a nice couch.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:08 PM ^
topless Sparty?

October 25th, 2014 at 3:01 PM ^
The real question is how did he practice?
October 25th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
October 25th, 2014 at 3:15 PM ^
But did he execute?
October 25th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
We're not going to talk about injuries.

One could argue that a snuff film as being more entertaining than Michigan games as of late.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:06 PM ^
Moot point for Peppers if he is all he is made out to be, we just basically lost his services for the year as he is not going to be a 5th year guyWe don't know that yet. Hopefully it will prove to be true. Countess once looked like a guy who might not be here four years.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:08 PM ^
But he dominated Miami OH and usually that's good enough for a 1st round grade :P
October 25th, 2014 at 3:07 PM ^
October 25th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
Erik Magnuson is repping with the second team at right tackle, FYI. So he appears healthy enough.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
Meanwhile...Magnusson is repping with the2nd team OL at RT.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
Not sure for such a hard hitting team how they enter this game with effectively 1 injury. (a backup LB who broke his arm) Maybe they just don't make enough football sounds at practice. Or Dantonio has indeed sold his soul to the devil.
MSU dress list, James Kittredge is on it. So is DeAnthony Arnett, who didn't travel last week. So ... pretty much everyone is dressed.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:15 PM ^
Or he could be playing coy as well.
I do have some questions/suspicions about MSU's S&C practices, though.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:18 PM ^
No, i follow them pretty close. They have had zero injuries to QBs, WRs, TEs. Langford came up with a light ankle in week 1 but was fine within a few weeks. Their OL have had some 1 week out type of things. Their defense has had zero injuries outside of the tackles.
That is 2 years in a row with no significant injury outside of a backup LB. Kind of strange.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:16 PM ^
Desmond Morgan also off the dress list - so I dont think it was "just" a broken arm which would have had him back in about 6 weeks. Give credence for how his injury occured, which if true - would be the ultimate in stupid. But I guess we have a medical RS there.
October 25th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
October 25th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
He didn't break his arm he tore all the tendons in his wrist after punching the window out of his door so he could get into his house/apt.
I mentioned this a while back, his dad lives in our neighborhood and although parents dont say anything about injuries or anything within the program very much his family friends did..
They told us what happened and Morgan is going to get a medical redshirt so he can also work on his masters

Nick B also says Morris is taking snaps pregame although right now the difference between Russ and Shane is negligible.No. This is the same "it can't be any worse" attitude that IMO led to the Minny Shane start over Devin. It can always get worse if you put in a less capable player. Devin >> Morris >> Bellomy. Russell looked like a deer-in-the-headlights against PSU. His only hope throwing the ball would be to play "500" with Devin Funchess. Seriously. Shane has accuracy issues, but he also has a gun and a quick release to avoid sacks. If he gets his mobility back such that he can use the gun, then at least there's a chance, as Lloyd Christmas would say.

It's pretty well known that Peppers WANTS to play.
The confusion comes somewhere after that fact.

Why would he stay at Michigan?
He was injured early in the first game and they played him the rest of the first half until he injured something else.
