Stupid to even punt it.

They said the Purdue defense is playing well?  They played well on one drive.  Otherwise MSU has marched right down the field, and lost a fumble, and then got backed up on a phantom chop block call and the walk on backup kicker missed a FG.
Well, they answered the bell

Two calls (not saying right or wrong) have been the two biggest plays of the game

How much do you make on an over/under?  I thought UGA-MIZ was way too high.
The bet for an over/under is listed as "-110" odds, meaning that in order to win $100, you'd have to lay down a $110 bet. That's true whether you're betting the over or the under.

That extra $10 is known as the "vig" and is what makes the casino money, because you need to be right 55%+ of the time to come out ahead against the house. 

So the bets are always just slightly worse than even money.

I've never seen a double reverse screen pass in my life, but hell, it worked!

That gunner turning up too soon = 45-yard penalty.

The defense looks like it has zero interest in playing today. At least four guys had a chance to make a tackle, didn't get juked, didn't have their tackle get broken, just half-assed the tackle

this game had HUGE let down possibility. On the road- after a crazy 16 point 4th QTR comeback vs the main rival- MSU might've blew their emotional load last week.

I truly do not understand the strategy behind the wildcat if the RB isn't a threat to throw.  They aren't even sending anyone out to cover Thorne, so you don't even have numbers

Am I the only one annoyed by talking about a QB "spinning it"?

It's only slightly more annoying than hearing a team wants to "be multiple".
