Surely you can't actually think MSU was the better team? Baylor was up the whole f'n game and let off the gas.

Whose fault was that?

How can you say Baylor is the better team when they fuckin' blew a 3 TD lead in the last quarter? A decent team doesn't give up half of those points.

Wow. BAYLOR is dumb. How bad can you prosecute this. That receiver once he got the first down should have just fallen. The game was virtually over. Instead: face mask, false start, stopped in backfield, etc

These people need a LOGIC coach

Sorry. It needs to be reiterated. BAYLOR did everything to win the game. Not in some obtuse sense. In actuality.

The receiver got the big first down up the middle with 3 minutes left on the ~12 yard line. All he had to do was wrap two hands around the ball and either fall at the 10 or get tackled somewhere inside it. Then run three running plays up the middle to burn clock or time outs, and kick easy 27 yard fg to make it s two score lead with -~ 2 minutes left.

Instead, face mask, false start stopping clock, stopped in back field, blocked long fg, loss of game.

I really really think these players and coaches need a Logic seminar but more likely Logic coach on staff. From KIFFIN to strong to Malzahn to miles to this receiver: games are literally handed to the other team that are virtually already won.

Congrats...



...jerk!

Are we to assume the B10 is better then the B12 because Sparty won one game?

Nope but we can say B12 isn't better. Equal if anything but bowl records speak for themselves...

Narduzzi took their foot off the gas by finally throwing more rush at Petty. Cook had a clean pocket and open receivers all day. If he had even an average game MSU wins by 2 TDs. Yeah, the best team won.

 

[TexasExes98]

Keep telling yourself the B12 is better with that 1-4 bowl record

Lol, B/c a one point win proves something. Narduzzi is supposed to be some defensive guru. It's not difficult to be a defensive genius in your weak conference. MSU's defense gave up 18 Ppg and 290 yds of offense in B1G play. Against Oregon, MSUs D was raped for 46pts and over 500 yds of offense. Then Baylor just raped MSUs D for 41pts and over 600 yds of offense. Just saying a one point win over Baylor doesn't prove anything. Not to mention, the Bears suck on the road, hence the reason I picked MSU to win this game.

B1G teams are as close as you get to high school teams

really? tell us all more.....

Sparty was down the whole damn game. A decent team isn't getting manhandled the whole damn game. Baylor being the most undisciplined team lost them this game.

For the record I think Sparty is a hell of a team and I wanted the to win, but today it certainly looked like the better team did not win. It happens.

 

[PIBuckeye]

congrats Spartans!!!!!!!

That's fair, I respect that. N I know most of your teams in your conference are better then my team.

LOL at Art Briles....


Classless U got served humble pie again.


Texas, Oklahoma, and TCU had their best recruiting weeks in years.


It is just a matter of time before they are Baylor once again.

I don't usually agree with Exes, but there's a good point here he could've made in a less a-hole manner. People give teams in the Big12 and PAC shit about not playing defense until they have to play them and get 550 yards and 40 points hung on em.

Narduzzi's d was getting drilled all game except the 4th quarter. Please stop acting like MSU d was good, it was Gawd awful. Petty passed for almost 600 yards vs the vaunted d. In the end Baylor was too undisciplined to finish. Glad MSU won.

Manhandled teams don't usually win games.

Discipline is a major part of being the better team.

I thought they were about even. Baylor was better quarters 2-3, but MSU was better the last quarter...when it counted most.

You make some good points. Thought Baylor had it but glad Sparty won. Also glad petty is gone.
