Dantonio said MSU held its breath a bit while removing red jerseys from its quarterbacks this winter

MSU is looking for more production from quarterback Andrew Maxwell and others on offense, and has used some interesting tactics leading up to Saturday's game against TCU.

Sunnier days for the offense would start with finding someone other than Andrew Maxwell to start at QB.

I expected this to be a "roushar is finalist for coaching job X" story.

I don't believe anything the coaches say. Earn it on the field... maxwell a household name(awful), best OL in 6 years(worst), receivers playing well in camp (ha).

I just watched some dvr footage of our games this year. I can confirm that all of our qbs do, in fact, posses legs.

I've been a member of this site for a few years without posting. Someone tell me why a recruit would want to come to a school with such negative fans? I can understand being disappointed but that should give license to attack a college kid. How many of you have had to read a defense in front of 75000 people?

The offense is going to have to actually show they can do it on the field from now on. There has been too much to talk in the pre-season this year. With all the doubt about Roushar, Maxwell the Oline, the schemes etc now is the time to put the product on the field and stop the talk.

I will not bash a kid for playing the game to the best of his/her ability. I will bash for moral failures. I will point out poor decisions.
Generally, you can count the true bashers on one or all three hands. And a few of them are actually solid, disoriented, Spartans. Please don't label those few as representative of the fan base.

Your point is well taken. Seems like the same posters were filled with hate for Hoyer and Cousins and there both in the NFL. I read your 1st post and thought it was funny. I did not mean to imply that all posters were negative. My point was that during the down years is when your team needs your support the most. Hopping on a bandwagon is easy. Staying true during hard times shows the character of your fans and alumni.

Can it really get worse? Seriously, multiple drives starting inside the opponent twenty or getting the ball inside the 5 and we leave with 0 points. It literally cannot get worse.

Wonderful, Roushar has a plan...

Sunnier days will be when R is fired or resigns...

WRs did. This was confirmed by national media as well. And they came on finally in the middle of the year, after helping cost us some early wins.
OL: Name the injured. Name the different line ups. I believe it was after the NW game where it came out that was the first time they had 2 straight weeks of practice with the same line.
You talk a lot out of your ass.

Your point is spot on. I honestly responded to you for the possible benefit of recruits and their families.

MSU's fans are not any different than anywhere else. People have a right to their opinions without having to measure up to what you or anyone else thinks a fan is supposed to be.

No...all inside info shows that Roushar is struggling during bowl week and that he has this pressure to prove that he is an executive chef, rather than just a buffet manager of an offensive coordinator.
I am expecting something contrived and silly...like the 2011 MSU @ ND game.
