Every college around is setting personal offensive records. We have been going thru an offensive revolution the last 10 years

Yep.

What is the one question mark EVERY SINGLE YEAR going into the season at MSU? What about the years we win 8 or 9...what is the reason we didn't get to 10 or 11? It's always the same one position group that keeps our seasons from being what they could be, or has us questioning our team going in. Even in the 2014 year, one position group kept us from winning the West....they were overachieving enough to get us 10 wins, but they ultimately weren't talented enough to get us that monster 11th. I don't have to say what group.

2014 was on our ass clown DC in the UM game and we scored 20 on Bama and lost by 5. Had no DC for the bowl game but scored 34 and lost. Our OL had little to do with those games we lost. 2015 was a crapfest at OL though.

The 2014 offensive line was definitely not the problem vs Georgia Tech--we set offensive records. OL was a problem vs Bama and OM, but I believe we had two or more starters out vs OM. And really, the defense was the biggest problem vs OM in 2014, too. They jumped out to a big lead early.

For a lot of our games vs Bama in recent years (not 2016) we had several unforced interceptions by our QBs. We outgained them in 2014 and 2015.

Then shouldn't we be freaking out about how to improve our defense? The differences between our defense and Bama & LSU's defense is why they slaughter us every year. They always have top 10 defenses and ours always sucks vs them. When we start having top 10 defenses is when we can beat them not when we get lucky to land a couple "stars" on OL.
