[NU Sports] YES!!!

I don't care how awful our defensive tackling on sweep
or toss plays was.

I don't care that our special teams were a mixed blags
of nice blocks and poor FG snaps and kicks.

All I care about was that CJ Bacher was absolutely
frickin' ON FIRE today and led our team to a MUCH
NEEDED win in East Lansing!

In fact, just give the entire offense game balls. MSU
came out the second half hitting as hard as you can
legally but the line kept holding off their blitz,
Conteh kept fighting for yards, CJ kept his cool and
Peterman, Ross, Thompason, Yarborough and Ward kept
making the clutch 3rd and long catches.

This wasn't bad D by MSU, though they were sloppy at
times. This was precision execution by as focused an
offense I've seen in awhile in purple. McGee really
seems to be finding a rhythm as a play caller these
last two weeks and the execution and poise is right
where it needs to be.

We needed this one. After blowing the Duke game,
getting whacked at OSU and giving away Michigan, we
showed a lot of heart here.

So now we're 3-3 and staring at a second half where
there are certainly no gimmes, but where all games are
winnable if we play like we did on offense today and
shore up the tackling on D to Michigan game levels.

Let's start next week by mashing Minnesota for
homecoming.

GO CATS!!!
