Maybe it will be a 11am kick...... lets see how they like that humid heat. Haha

We'll beat them pretty solidly IMO. I watched their game with UMass and they aren't good. I think we score 50+

Skattebo ..62 yds rushing TSU had something figured out on stopping him.

I?ll take 3 of TS?s d-linemen and 1 LBer! Can they transfer today? 😂😂

Yep, those TS D lineman and LB did not get pushed and run over like we did.

They had more than 5 in the box.

That we for the second straight year have hired a "DC" that has never been a DC is another potential disaster for a "D" already short on talent and depth due to the lack of DL recruiting success the last 3 or 4 years.

TSU is good. They were projected to be the G5 in the playoffs. That ASU loss might not look as bad later in the season. I remember the meltdown last year after a close win against AZ at home. AZ ended up a top 15 team.

ASU is 3-0 and while maybe not top 10, they are pretty good. Bad gameplan, on road, west coast, some players out on D, bad PI call and bad D TD and we still almost won. Not time to mail it in just yet.

Typical doom and gloom from our fans. We will man handle Toledo. Jesus christ. We could backyard football our way to a win and cover 9.5. What the hell are you guys smoking?

We stubbed our toe on a 9:30pm kick on the road with a new hc and entire new offensive and defensive roster. It happens. Bama struggled with USF for 70% of the game at home.

I agree totally but the ASU game was one of the must wins to make a bowl game. gotta upset a couple teams now along the way

Jason Candle is a really good coach. It is not doom and gloom to give respect to the opponent.
What we saw with ASU was their 5ft tall RB , running over our players, and their line pushing around our line.... compared to ASU v. TSU. It is some reality.

I have not been as into MSU football as far as seeing marketing, after seeing all they hype and BS after we hired Arnett, and how he lied to us also in the offseason.
Then we had to read "Blue Collar" , "Back to MSU football in the 90's" propaganda.
That literally would be like in the 90's to hear our sports writers and fans say " we need to get back to MSU football like we played in the 60's"....that is the same time frame.

Sorry for the tangent but our leadership pisses me off.
All this to say, ASU has over 30 players from the portal and rebuilt their team. So as you said, the revolving door of coaches has not been to our advantage with the right DC hire to recruit the portal at least enough to not be pushed around by a team like ASU.

I read somewhere that ASU has 53 new players from 2023.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, young grasshopper!

"stubbed our toe"

We were getting blown out and they just ran the clock in the 2nd half to get out of the game. We may roll tomorrow but the metrics say it should be close
