Run Game

Post by dyedblue » August 31st, 2018, 9:26 pm

'22 I'll again rely on you. Do we have a run game? I loved what I saw all over the field tonight but the run game scares me to death and has for years now. MSU is a great defense, but are they great on run D or do we suck again? That to me is the ceiling to our season.

Last I heard they were the # 2 rush D in the nation. That's pretty darn good considering they play in arguably the toughest division in College Football.

This is not the game to determine if we have an adequate rushing attack. MSU is a tremendous defense against the rush, and we were playing from behind for most of the second half. Time will tell, but I think if we keep passing like that our running backs will have plenty of room to run.

I believe MSU had the #2 run defense in the country last year behind Bama and returned a ton of starters.

I wouldn’t be concerned at all yet.

I thought the same after going to the fall scrimmage.

If I remember correctly, he’s not as good at blocking.

Yeah, that wasn’t on the blocking. That was on one of the best linebackers in the country making a ridiculous play.

That guy is Joe Bachie the best LB on the team and one of the best in the Big 10. The dude is a Bad A$$, I don't fault Thompson at all. Darwin will be really good for us.

Thompson will be a guy that can get 3 yards every time against the rest of our schedule. Haven't had that since Mays.
