I'm disappointed too, but come on. You're saying it was the same because it was a poor result. That was not the same offense! Or the same formations! Or the same plays! As to the "lack of flair"-- everyone wanted no huddle. And shotgun. And empty backfields. And two tight ends. And five wides...

I'm not seeing it. Central Michigan is pretty bad. Penn State lost at home to Ohio. Minnesota looked shaky but could get better. And I am not exactly ready to crown Iowa State just yet. That NIU team played well and has a really heady QB who should improve from week to week. They're going to be...

I'm with you. Obviously who knows what to happen, but to adopt this woe is me attitude and expect that we'll be lucky to beat Iowa State and UNI-- come on. Iowa State is going to be a tough game as it often is. Homefield advantage is huge, though, and it's been pretty clear lately that what...

Michigan had better scoring defense stats than MSU last year (they were #3 in the Big Ten, MSU was #4) and they have 8 returning starters on that side of the ball.

Re: San Jose State is giving Stanford a nice games The Pac-12 network is the best way to watch football until 2am. If you have a sports tier on digital cable, it's probably in there somewhere. 90% of the commercials star Summer Sanders. Stanford isn't doing a damn thing and the San Jose...

And now tied 17-17.

Down 17-10 but driving deep into Cardinal territory. A couple of minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Anybody else have Pac-12 network? Bueller?

I don't buy it. They probably have the most early-round NFL picks of anyone in the Big Ten. But they play about as undisciplined as any group you'll see. MSU had ten penalties tonight, and 6-7 were on the defense, including three personal fouls. The defensive play-calling was also bizarre-- no...

Sparty's defense is good but it is nowhere near what Alabama's was. Boise's receivers were getting open against both corners-- their QB just wasn't good enough to take advantage. I am not seeing it at this point. It think it's more likely that they blow up and go 7-5 than that they run the...

Really? You should tell Big Ten teams that before bowl season this year. Boise doesn't really talk any trash, so I don't see the point in shutting them up. I would have much rather seen Sparty get shut up than Boise. But I think MSU will get their comeuppance fairly soon-- maybe even in two...

This x1,000,000. I mean, I love Iowa, but when we're crapping our pants about playing Northern Illinois on a neutral field, we have no room to criticize Boise.

If Michigan State had a good QB I'd like them for a BCS game-- maybe even the NCG. But at this point, it looks like they don't. Tough titties. They had home-field advantage but still couldn't put away a supposedly inferior team until the final three minutes-- and that's with a historic...

Ask Sparty if they think Boise are pretenders. If Boise's QB hadn't slipped on that 4th quarter deep pass (to a wide open WR) they take a four-point lead with seven minutes to play.

Obviously I was cheering for Boise, but that's a nice result from an Iowa fan's perspective. Michigan State gets the win but is nothing to be frightened about at this point.

Boise covers!!!! And there is much rejoicing.

That was a hell of a game. Michigan State should be happy to get out of that one alive. If they can't develop another weapon than Bell, I don't see them threatening in the Big Ten. Right now he's at 41 carries and 6 catches. That's out of 85 plays run.

Jesus. Boise just went at the same CB three times in a row. Man, they are fun to watch.

Agreed, but if Sparty rides him this hard all season he might not make it to the Iowa game.

Note to Dantonio: Boise's D sees plenty of that stuff in practice. You probably aren't going to catch them off guard. Also, YOUR RUNNING BACK IS A MONSTER AND YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM THE BALL UNTIL THEY STOP HIM OR HIS LEGS FALL OFF.
