The right call
October 8, 2009 8:09 AM
Think about that. 222 yards of offense and 3 points. Or the Minnesota game last year: 550 yards and 20 points. An explosive offense between the 20s, and then field goal attempts. It's the rut we've been stuck in since the win at Michigan last year.
So we need a spark. We need a QB that will make the right decision on 3rd and goal from the 4. Is Eddie that guy? I have absolutely no idea. If you asked me after the spring game, or after a two-minute drill at Camp Rantoul, I would tell you absolutely not. Eddie was so mad at himself in Rantoul for throwing yet another interception that I though he was going to throw his helmet 45 yards. But then again, Juice looked fantastic that day, yet was unable to replicate that in a game. Maybe Eddie is the opposite - maybe he's a gamer. Maybe he'll turn it on once he hits the field and never look back. Certainly wouldn't be the first time.
So Eddie it is. MSU's defense, which was supposed to be their strength, has been struggling. So Eddie will have every opportunity to show himself. Whatcha got, kid?
