    9-3. Our schedule is favorable other than that 3 game stretch in the middle.8-4 only if we drop ND or UNL.

    I don't know how you could see us losing against Michigan. We were so dominant against them last season, and nothing they have done would suggest otherwise.

    We should beat Boise by more than 7, they lost everyone

    OSU is going through a transition year

    and Denard still hasn't proved he can beat a good defense

    I'll say 10-2, lose @Wisconsin and somewhere else

  • Wait... With our defense and their loss on the o-line, and lack of a qb in general, what makes you say UM will score 28 on us? False. Venomous needs to take a fucking pill.

    I think a W vs. tOSU is more likely than an W against UM at this point. tOSU will have their first Big 10 road game and still be breaking in the new O. Great chance for MSU to get a Big 10 W, before this grind hits:

    Iowa
    @UM
    @UW
    Nebraska

    We all saw how tired MSU looked vs. Nebraska last year and against Iowa in 2010. The BYE does MSU no favors this year, as it comes AFTER the Nebraska game. That's right, 10 straight weeks of MSU football. Depth has never been more important than now.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    Boise is looking tougher than thought, they have a solid OL and very good TEs.

    um loses their only good DT, their best OL and have depth issues on both lines. And 2 years in a row, narduzzi has called brilliant games against them. We should be able to ru on them, and stop them on D.

    tOSU, who knows, wildcard game, but they looked like crap for much of the year, and urban is on Coach D's shit list.

  • I don't see any "sure" L's on the schedule, though @UW and Nebraska back-to-back doesn't look particularly appealing.

    On the flip side, there are VERY few "sure W's": the 2 MAC schools, + @IU and @Minny. Northwestern at home is probably a W too. Then again, Marquise Gray went pretty nuts against MSU last year and they'll be in year 2 of the system. Big 10 is very competitive. I'm thinking of moving Iowa into the "probably W" category; the last 2 years have been blowouts, but before that the series has been very competitive.

    Boise, ND, tOSU, UM, UW and Nebraska are all capable of beating MSU next year.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    I hate to be "that guy" but Minnesota out-played us in SS for 45 minutes last year with a very young team. Not to mention, we never do well in Minneapolis. I think we pull out a 27-24 win over a 6-5 Gopher team hungry for a big win on Senior Day. I think we win...but a "for-sure victory" is a stretch at this point.

    FTR, I'm going with 11-3 with a B10 Title Game win over UW and a loss in the Rose Bowl to USC.

    Look at a picture of Cousin's jersey after yhe UGA and you will know that the OL was not exceptional that game.

    As for all this Nick Hill love, how can you have more faith in him than in Caper? Caper has at least proved he can be effective in the Big Ten as a running back when healthy.

    When I think of Hill, I think of his fumble vs Wisconsin last year. When I think of Caper, I think of UM 2009.

    Hill vs wisconsin still gives me nightmares.

    9 is usually the 3-4 OLB putting his hand in the dirt. The Lions go "wide 9" sometimes in the 4-3.

    they actually use it as their base 4-3 look nerd

    Personally if this coming year is not meant to be our National Championship year (I reserved 2013 for that)- I would not mind a close loss at Wisky with a rematch in the BCG and a win this time.

    Second hope is that we play PSU and slap them down in the BCG.

    I just love the fact that both us and Wisky kind of rub salt in the recruiting rankings. I know Beilima is annoying but hey it is getting to be a good rivalry and knocks out the traditional powers.

    So back to Shilique- 2013 he takes over the spot vacated by #1 NFL draft pick Will Gholston and helps lead the MSU D to a ferocious showing and victory over Nick Saban in the 2013 NC game! green_koolaid

    Better slow down on the Roushar criticism or Punisher99 will show up and cry. I still think Roushar needs to prove himself. He called at least three terrible games last year and the opening call vs. UGA was inexcusable.

    Does this douchebag ever say anything besides "Dan Roushar sucks?" Why don't you bring some insight once in a while instead of your played-out bullshit.

    That last TD screwed up the whole perception of that game. It was a garbage time TD, of course- they had less than a prayer of scoring again. Today, though, everyone just sees the score and thinks "Well, derp, it was really close. OSU would have blown them out if they'd had any offense!!!!!!"

    but then again, if this team somehow powers through that stretch and comes out 3-1, chances are we're going to be heading back to Indy with a bye, at home against NW, and on the road against Minnesota to end the year. that would be 3+ weeks of getting injured guys healthy again before the B1G Championship

    That's funny cause when I think of Hill I think of how he returns every kick out to the 40 after running north and south the whole time.

    I understand.

    However, the post I quoted referred to UGA's DE playing a 9 tech against France. Without going back to watch, I'm not sure how often their LB put his hand down, but I don't think it was often.

    I believe it was Minnesota that challenged us with a 4-3 9 tech all game. It (kind of) worked.

    Also, "wide 9" is sort of redundant. Not calling you out on that, but just saying as an observation. I know it's used by pretty much everyone.

    SHhhhhhhhhhhh!

    That's exactly right, and is what happened this past year, which I think led to MSU's best offensive showing of the year. The only difference is that the last 2 games were IU at home (aka, BYE) and a trip to Evanston.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    9-3. Our schedule is favorable other than that 3 game stretch in the middle.8-4 only if we drop ND or UNL.

    Your Ohio State prediction is laughable. First road game under a new coach and new offensive system against a top 5 defense. The only way OSU wins is if MSU fails to score more than 10 points.

    The Michigan pick is possible, but unlikely. They will be extremely hard pressed to score 28 points.

    And losing by 14 points at Wisconsin is a big stretch, too.

    Coming from a Spartan fan that tends to be pessimistic, you really have to be fishing or you just don't pay attention.

    EDIT: I keep forgetting this thread is supposed to be about Shilique. Oops.

    Just using the term coined by the announcers. The 9 tech is technically the outside shoulder of the tight end, but guys will line up to the outside shoulder of where the TE WOULD be if there's no TE present and that's what I think people commonly refer to as "wide-9".

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    Check my post history. I say plenty of things about plenty of things. You only pay attention to the stuff I have to say about Roushar. Listen, I am not Tanfan, I do not want Roushar to fail so that I can be right. Anyone with sense however can see that Roushar had at least three performances last year that were not indicative of a D1 Offensive Coordinator. Stop your blind support for two minutes and view this situation objectively. Roushar still has to prove he belongs. Period.

    I wasn't refering to the LB #29. I was talking about #83. 83 kept lining up outside France and running past him. 29 was moving around a lot, but he typically was opposite 83 right over the Tackles shoulder, not wide of the Tackle in the wide nine. UGA was playing a 3-4, but they always had at least 4 players on the line typically filling the 7, 1, 3, and 9 gaps.

    Ok, we all understand by now. Trust me.

    By the way you said "at least three". Give me the third besides ND and UNL, and give me even a remote possibility for a fourth. This should be good.

    Partially true. I think others would also point to the fact that MD hasn't done well against OSU for the most part, and the development of Braxton Miller as being reasons for concern. Not to mention, Urban is a hell of a coach, like him or not.

    I do see your overall point though, and I think we will win that game (close).

  • I'm willing to give Roushar a pass for the ND game. That OL was so inexperienced, Burkland went down, it was Roushar's first challenging game and basically that whole game was a shitfest.

    UNL was an atrocity though. Bell was wreaking havoc until Roushar decided that passing into the teeth of a cover 2 was a better idea.

    That said, he called a great game against UM, Iowa, Wisconsin, Wisconsin II, and started out slow against UGA but did a great job getting us back into it (TE screen to Linthicum was a thing of beauty).
