[NU Sports] Illinois v MSU

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

And too bad Purdooo's kicker didn't suck LAST week instead of that one right before the half today. :(

But I agree, Sparty is beatable. Our D was caught off guard by a running QB last week - Cousins won't do that. Otherwise, the D was solid. Where we need to work is the special teams (ugh!) and running game. But if the running game ain't working, McCall's gotta let Persa be Persa and open up the passing game more instead of killing drives with dumb running plays that net one yard. There's keeping the D honest and then there's playing our way into third and long. :)

And judging by the way Michigan and their mobile QB just sliced up Iowa's defense on the opening drive, we need to let Persa be Persa against the Hawkeyes as well.

It's a great day of football in Big Ten Country!

GO CATS!!!
