Staying late at work to avoid coming in through the weekend, but I'm following Wisconsin and MSU through box scores.
For UW, Coan has an efficient stat line. For those watching at home, is the jump as obvious as you'd expect given these numbers? The run game seems in good shape at 5YPC and Taylor at 5.7. I take it the offensive line is as expected. And for the defense, it's hard to argue against these yardage totals. Looks like a nice start towards putting last year behind them.
For MSU, last year's dichotomy is coming through on this box score. Lewerke is under 5 YPA and the team is only averaging 3 YPC on the ground. There's a good chance they'll hold their opponent under 100 to 120 yards, though, which is a good step to meeting preseason expectations on D.
