[QUOTE="illini80, post: 1811210, member: 2241"] Pretty much everything I was worried about all week, but tried to not rain on everyone’s parade. Football has to be played with emotion and while we played hard we didn’t have the same edge we’ve seen. MSU has talented players and probably more depth than we do. They aren’t a great team by any means, but they are good enough to win some games. Like against Wisconsin and us. As others have said, I’m disappointed but not discouraged. Lots of learning moments. I was hoping to see Josh McCray take a heavier load and punish their linebackers. I still question whether he is 100% and hope our injuries in the secondary are minor. One big negative is special teams. I hoped we had solved some issues there, but they certainly hurt us today. Their punter vs ours was a game changer. Griffin didn’t seem to have his full leg strength today either. I wonder if that had anything to do with not taking the early FG. [/QUOTE]
