[NU Sports] Just sick ...

> I'm just not sure we know how to play with a lead.

We can't run the ball.  Even when we had good running backs, we had 
difficulty running when the defense knew that's what we were going to do. 
Our OL lacks that nth degree of power and skill to take control at crunch 
time, which is what we saw MSU's line do today.  If we're passing - as we 
would be when behind - we have a shot.  We also, as usual, lack a good pass 
rush without blitzing, which again MSU demonstrated in the second half. 
When we did get two sacks in the fourth quarter, they went for naught 
because we gave up big yardage on the next play.  Sigh.
