What do you think Norm's scheme will be for MSU?

Same as it ever was...


And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Curse the person who invented "cut and paste" :rolleyes:
 
I feel like a cold war Kremlin watcher. The U.S. used to make policy based on who stood next to who at parades in the old USSR. It's so hard to get a read on KF, but something that really jumped out at me was seeing Lowery listed behind Prater and not behind Hyde on this week's depth chart.

This thread got me thinking. At first I thought maybe the change in the depth chart was a message to Prater to work harder because Lowery has been making his presence felt recently. But my second thought is that the thing that really impressed me about Lowery during the open practices was his speed when blitzing from the corner.

With Binns on that side could there be a plan to put Lowery in at times and blitz from that corner?

Or, IIRC, BJ Cunningham took advantage of Prater's soft zone play quite a few times last year. After Lowery's glove tight coverage Saturday could they be thinking tighter coverage on Cunningham this year?

Is Norm going to try to take away one side of the field and force Cousins to throw to Hyde's side?

Whatever the plan it is going to be exciting to watch it unfold Saturday.

Go Hawks!
 
Did anyone see the Nebraska Michigan State game? How did Nebraska shut down MSU so thoroughly because Nebraska's defense isn't exactly dominating this year?
 
MSU is 12th in the league in rushing. They have quality backs,but their o-line has been somewhat decimated by injuries this year,but,they get a couple of linemen back this week. Clearly,Hawks must clamp down on the run.
Then, I think they have to selectively bring a blitz on passing downs. Cousins is smart as a whip,so cannot be predictable or fall into a pattern,but must make him move his feet at least. If he settles into the pocket and steps into throws,we are in trouble.

I agree with shading toward Cunningham...but watch out for Martin,who is also very slippery along the sideline.

Biggest challenge of the year for the Hawks right here. MSU smells the Big Ten title game,and they are seething about last year....they will come out on fire. Senior Day emotion must offset it....get ready,Hawkfans!!
 
I'm pretty sure as far as scheme goes will be in the 4-3 all day. Thats the one with 4 dlineman, 3 linebackers, and 4 dbs. We'll probably do that one all day as kind of a base defense and then just send linebackers out to cover wide receivers when they're in 4 and 5 wide receiver sets. Yep that's probably the plan. This will be the most vanilla we are all season long.

Sometimes vanilla tastes reallly good. Quarter-quarter-half baby! We were pretty vanilla with them last year and that worked out pretty well. Cousins isnt that great. Sash's pick came from film study and he jumped the route. I hope our D is in the film room rather than on the town this week. Much more important than scheme.
 
Cousins is not a running QB, that works well in a base defense, contain him and contain the rb's, Iowa ussually does its best against this type of offense
