I do not choose to discuss it
I was really enjoying all the 5 yard check downs right in the middle of the field; the offensive brain trust for UM must have been so excited that MSU was leaving that so open. Hit it again, they’re just giving it to us! It’s almost like MSU was up by two scores with under 5 minutes to go and were very happy to let UM put together a clock grinding drive.I just rewatched scUM’s scoring drive at the end of the game when they were down 10 and I defy anybody to find a dumber sequence of situational play-calling in recent history. They need to score, stop Sparty and score again, all in 5:11. They proceed to call a bunch of passes across the middle and Milton takes off several times on runs getting tackled nowhere near the sidelines. In 18 plays, they get out of bounds to stop the clock TWICE. I counted twice that Milton could have got out of bounds on runs to stop the clock, but went straight forward to get another two or three yards. They weren’t exactly getting to the line for the next play with anything that I’d call a sense of urgency. They score to cut the sparty lead to three with :36 on the clock.
It was as stunning a display of incompetence both from a play-calling and execution standpoint in what should be a hurry up situation as I’ve ever witnessed. It is the undeniable proof that that program has no clue how to rise above mediocre with this current regime. It was beautiful.
The cherry on the cake was UM getting stuffed on a standard run right up the middle on first and goal.
