All in the basement is quiet. Why wouldn't it be?

On O.
Their all Big1G running back is on the Derrick Green diet plan and he couldn't beat out Connor Heyward. Let's unpack that for a moment. Collins ran for 1,000 yards as a freshman, was expected to be the cornerstone of Sparty's running offense, behind their "revamped :eek:" OL and take the pressure off of their game manager-ceiling quarterback. Heyward was a total bust last year and that was before he went to the transfer portal, got ZERO takers, and returned to CMFT with his hat in hand. Newsflash, he is worse this year than last year. AND HE IS THE STARTER.
  • The net net is that Sparty rushed for 1.3/YPC against Rutgers. Again, let's unpack that. ..., ...., Actually I can't add anything to that. That level of horror stumps even me.
Rocky Lombardi. 31-44 for 319 yards, 2 INTS. Don't be fooled. Zero passes down field. All that yardage was from their WR's after the catch. (Tre Mosely appears to be hurt so their #2 WR is most likely out). Zero stretch plays.
  • Hidden stat: Rutgers D had 12 TFL. Rutgers D.
  • Michigan's DL/LB and Don Brown will be looking to build NFL stat lines Saturday to improve draft positions.
  • Question? How many TFL's does our D get? Against Sparty's OL? Oh, Collins was their best blocker in the backfield..
On D.

Sparty is running a 4-2-5 with a single safety back. A single, safety, back. Will they have the courage to run the same D against the stupid fast Michigan WR's and TE's? I hope so. I think they will.
  • We will see Joe Milton air it out Saturday. If he is close to as advertised, it will be glorious.
  • MSU had 2 sacks, and none from the DL.
Michigan's OL vs. Sparty's DL/LB. Sparty will pack the box. That is what they did against Rutgers (1 safety back). If they do that, then I expect Milton to make them pay. He will have time.

lastly, the difference in team speed is going to be very apparent. MSU is the slowest team I can recall seeing. Rutgers looked faster. Let's unpack that: Rutgers looked faster.
