Whole team looks to talk a lot of shit.

Completely missed that but then again, I didn’t do much Twitterind nor spend time reading about this game by Friday.theknowledge said:
No. Mele is out for a few weeks. Maybe more.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
Did Mele play at all? It was still 1st quarter when I noticed Brailsford at center (I think) but didn’t see an obvious injury substitution.dnc said:Meant to mention the running game and ST (outside FG kicking). Running game still not used a ton (and when you can pass like we can I am good with that) but Johnson looked much more physical than I anticipated and Tybo has some nice burst. Both of them looked better than I expected any RB to look this year. Super encouraging since the one thing Michigan State is great at is producing DL. This OL seems to have come together even without Mele (and Buelow). If they can open holes like that consistently and we have a run game when we need it the offense is officially unfair. Strong day for the backs and run blocking.
Special teams coverage is really nice and we hit hard. Germie is so slippery on KO returns, he's gonna break one eventually. Would be nice to see the punt return unit open a hole but that's nitpicking at this point. Jalen made at least one bad decision on fielding a punt inside the 5 but got bailed out by the clear unnecessary roughness.
Complete performance really. -

Dang, big hit. Banks is done for the year too.

@JoeEDangerously made a good point that while the Polk TD was lucky it's the kind of plays that happen to good teams you write off as luck but it happens because when you're good and know it and expect good things players are more on the look out and confident and expecting to make big plays instead of the other way around. It's one reason why the modest OKG Petersen shit sucked because even though they were good they never played with that energy.

The fact that we’ve already had a few injuries and the next guys up have stepped right in is pretty nice. The depth looks 10x better but it’s the same guys maybe they have some coaches.

we finally have QB with a big penix @MikeDamone

Not many db's are going to intercept an absolute fucking laser like that. At worst it's just an incompletion.WoolleyDoog said:@JoeEDangerously made a good point that while the Polk TD was lucky it's the kind of plays that happen to good teams you write off as luck but it happens because when you're good and know it and expect good things players are more on the look out and confident and expecting to make big plays instead of the other way around.

Was there ever any explanation as to why the booth never reviewed that obvious fumble after having an abundance! of time to do so?
Maybe booth man was taking a dump at the time? Replay should be beyond that kind of shit happening by now. -
