The Big Ten Today (9/15)

Caulcrick is a beast.

Not to be forgotten (perhaps unfortunately) - Minnesota is tied with FAU. I was never counting on them winning that game. That program is gonna pay dearly for firing Glen Mason. This whole season is going to be ugly for them trying to run a spread offense with the kind of players Mason recruited.

Wisky TD - despite committing a 5 yard penalty on 3rd and 1 from the 1.

Indiana nudging Akron 20-17 with the ball on a drive from their own 19-yard line.

Danotnio definitely has the Spartans playing better ball - with JL Smith that last toss is likely a TD.

2 games into the season while everyone is still playing cupcakes ? You're kidding, right?

...and they're struggling against the "cupcakes". This is where you make your argument. Big Ten teams playing Big Ten teams doesn't show the rest of the country how strong you are as a conference. If Big Ten teams were destroying thse cupcakes, it would be different. Sad but true, perception becomes reality in the polls. Today is a big chance for tOSU to make a statement, but the rest of the Big Ten is struggling again.

Thing is though, other teams are having problems too. Look at Auburn, or Texas versus Arky St, or the other OSU losing to Troy. It's happening all over the country this season, just seems more widespread in our conference.

Things aren't so bad. Illinois is blowing out Syracuse, Purdue is blowing out CMU, and Penn State is blowing out Buffalo while MSU and UW at least have leads. Like I said last week, the Big-10 may be winning ugly but it's still winning.

This MSU team is really missing Drew Stanton. That guy seemed like he was there forever - it just now registered with me he's not there anymore. I guess that explains to me why they're not as good despite their improved defense and stability.

Despite the fact that Dantonio is a defense guy, Stanton could've really benefited from playing for a guy like him.
