Thanks all for the explanations, and for the stats Mike.  I didn't realize he had played in that many games.  Was thinking he had already missed 4 or even 5.  I hope if he comes back he can avoid any further injury the rest of the year.

I am optimistic about this weekend, provided the Blackshirts show up and not the group that played at UCLA.  If the D plays well and the offense holds on to the ball, I can't see MSU holding the score down in the teens.
