MSU scoots by Iowa 62-54 in a 59-possession game. StatSheet box score. The reflexive thing to say after you’ve beat a vastly inferior team by just 8 points at home is to say the team “lost focus” or “didn’t keep their foot on the pedal.” I’m going to resist that temptation and say MSU did [...]

Here’s a topic: How the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire. Also: How many points/minutes are you hoping to see out of [...]

A win is a win. And we’ll take this one. But, from an analytical standpoint, there were as many things, if not more, to be worried about than there were positives to take from this game: Good: Javon Ringer didn’t take the beating he has in previous games: 25 carries, 1 reception, no kick-off returns.

Hawkeye Sports News gives us their take on the Spartan football team and provides a statistical comparision between MSU and Iowa. On offense, the Hawkeyes look a lot like us: run-heavy. On defense, they look quite a bit better–albeit against weaker opposition. Big Ten Country says this is a must-win game for both teams. The [...]
