Michigan State (4-4, 6-5) at Nebraska (3-5, 4-7) Post Game

2 weeks in a row MSU doesn't find the end zone. Yikes.

Against two bad defenses.  This offense isn't just bad, it's horrifically, historically bad.

Charlie Weis objects.

saw this on twitter....

This was the first time MSU and UNL met since Mike Sadler and Sam Foltz passed away and all the points scored were kicks. 

[ELA]

Someone on Twitter charted 9 MSU drops.  Unacceptable

[MarqHusker]

First Nebraska win w/o a touchdown since 1937.

Poetic

Ugly yes, hairpulling entertaining at times.

this was obviously true, but I didn't see this coming
no way the Huskers win a defensive slugfest vs Sparty
no way Freshman Barret Pickering out kicks Coghlin

S&P+ now has MSU #4 in defense, #115 in offense.

For comparison, 2012 was #2 and #89.  Oddly that 7-6 team was #15 overall in S&P+.  I want to say 5 of their 6 losses we're by 6 points to or less, so maybe luck factor wasn't in their favor, because that seems REALLY high for a 7-6 team in a year I don't recall the Big Ten being particularly strong.

This year #31 overall, which actually ahead of some ranked teams like Texas, Kentucky and Syracuse

I don't know how teams like Syracuse and Kentucky were ranked so high. Still trying to figure that out.

[FearlessF]

Syracuse and Kentucky had not played anyone with a pulse and had fewer losses

lazy pollsters

Well, that was an unexpected game. Weather was worse that I thought it was going to be.

Sparty's OC should be tarred and feathered for calling 41 passes, especially when A Gap runs were getting chuck yards, but he has my appreciation. 

Lombardi could be a pretty good player when all is said and done. Sparty needs better wideouts though.

I'd bet Iowa won't pass 41 times this week.  They'll see the film and will challenge UNL to stop the inside running game.

Well our best wideout is done for the season, and Cody White is a few games back from a broken hand, and clearly not what he was when healthy.  Cam Chambers never developed, and Jalen Nailor is a true freshman, who shows flashes but has to grow.  That's basically what we got.  We were playing a pair of walk ons out of desperation.  Would have been nice if Rison and Jackson hadn't transferred.
No MSU fan will argue with you that the OC needs to go.
