Why the trick plays in the 2nd half?

[Win5002]

The WR pass by McNutt and the reverse to Chaney? They are pointless to this game. Especially the McNutt pass if you want to use that at some point in the season why show it?

Is it because they want other teams to have something to think about in their upcoming games?

Trying to prove were not conservative I guess. Seems like a little over compensating to me. If you really want to score just keeping running your offense! Just do what we do.......

This game just got weird with 5mins to play in the 3rd qtr.

IMO it was solely to give OSU something else to prepare for.

I think they threw the reverse pass for one reason and one reason only...to get DJK the all-time receptions record with a "bang" play. He's currently tied with Kasper and went catchless today, which sucks because now he'll almost certainly get the record on the road.

the Chaney reverse is nothing new...the McNutt thing was neat though and yes, its all mental for other teams to think about

isn't it obvious? it's because ken o'keefe reads the message boards- wait, ferentz reads the message boards- because he pulls the puppet strings.

When you are up by 30, those are conservative calls. I was glad to see it.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

So you had something to complain about...

 

[unkydave]

I think Kirk and Dantonio genuinely dislike each other. The way Dantonio acted after last year's loss and perhaps some head to head recruiting may have caused some bad blood.

 

[DDThompson]

why not?

MSU took two cheap shots at Robinson before the McNutt pass. A blow to the head caused the fumble. Two plays later MSU took Robinson to ground two seconds after the whistle blew. They also did it on Robinson's first carry of the second half. They tackled Coker late before the Chaney reverse. Its classless play from a classless program.

The McNutt reverse pass to DJK

Iowa is too chicken **** to run a play like that when it counts. They had it in the repertoire and thought "What the hell..."

Trick plays? What else would you expect on the Eve of all Hallows?
