Sparty beats PSU

Makes next week critical.  We can eliminate MSU and PSU with two wins, making it a two horse race...

Crazy.  Never expected it.

MSU pulled out quite a few tricks and plays today to get this W.

however, a great win for them, will be confident heading into next week with some returning players. It’s gonna be a intense battle per usual.

You would think so, but when they fumble time after time without ever losing it, and throw passes right to DBs without it getting picked, some luck comes into play.  They had a key conversion because Davis caught a pass between his knees, FFS.  That and PSU shitting the bed by awarding first downs with stupid penalties.

They won another horrible, ugly game, which is exactly their MO.

I don't think it will have an effect on our game with either of them, but this is almost the best outcome for us. MSU is better than we thought but PSU is also not as good as we might have thought. Both are very beatable, hopefully we win tonight.

Fuck State. This might set up our win over a ranked opponent on the road.

 

also on States winning drive, wide receives kept getting injured stopping the clock. Davis went down to stop the clock then 2 plays later he scores the TD.

Every loss exposes Franklin as a sham. Hopefully 2 more coming. 4 losses with mcsorely, who knows how many without him next year.  Recruiting should hopefully drop off for them.

After State took a major risk and faked a FG that would have tied it. But Penn State got the ball back with a little over 5 minutes left with a 3 point lead and the momentum.  Franklin called three pass plays in a row (I'm fairly certain one was complete and then the receiver stepped out of bounds). They then punted the ball back to State and had only run a minute off the clock. State ultimatley punted on that drive (and Penn State gave it away again) but I still thought it was extraordinarily stupid that Penn State was in such a hurry to give the ball back to State each time.

Dantonio is a good coach but in this game Franklin helped him out big time. I'm actually looking forward to the Penn State game now.

DEAR MICHIGAN, PLEASE BEAT THE EVER LIVING FUCK OUT STATE NEXT WEEK. SINCERELY, THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

PS: you should rename this thread Michigan State beats Penn State to win the Sexual Assault and Institutional Cover Up Bowl.

No matter what people will say, Dantonio deserves his pay:

1. Under recruits.

2. Injuries everywhere.

3. Back 2 back PSU wins during their resurgence.

4. Constantly forces opponents to play their game...

 

PSU had so many opportunities to ice this game.

MSU has learned to play pass defense. Get ready.

 

and guy that says this “MSU will get waxed dont worry they dont stand a chance” can you take the week off please.

No explanation for that game.  MSU's defense was really good save for 2 long Sanders runs.  I don't even know anymore.  PSU choked, but MSU seems to just win those crazy games.  Dantonio is 10-5 in his last 15 games vs top 10 teams, that's just stupid.

PSU is a fraud. Franklin is Franklin. And they dropped a ton of INT’s. But whatever. I hate those effers. Sets up Michigan for a more meaningful game next week.
