I watched the first 3 quarters of the MSU/UIW game last night until my smart TV locked up.
After hearing from MSU fans about how great their QB is, I was starting to rethink my original prediction for this game. Well I gotta tell ya, I wasn't all that impressed. For as fast as this kid is, he sure doesn't look like he plays fast. He either has lost a step or two in college, or he isn't opening it up when running the ball. He actually threw the ball better than most MSU fans gave him credit for, however, he had a ton of time to throw. He won't have that luxury against NDSU.
MSU couldn't put IW away until the fourth quarter and after 3 only led by 7, thanks to a blocked punt that resulted in a touchdown. In other words, if not for a blocked punt early in the game, the score would have been tied at the end of 3. To incarnate word!!! Let that sink in for a bit. MSU allowed nearly 400 of offense to IW.
I mean really, IW? You allow 400 yards and take 4 quarters to put away a team that many said shouldn't even have made the playoffs. Yeah, this game isn't going to be pretty for the Bobcats.
I initially said the game would be over in 8 minutes. Well, maybe it will be interesting for a while longer, but I will be very surprised if this game is close by halftime.
