May have been one of the best games they have played. Eiland and Reese are growing up fast.
0 sacks allowed again today, only 3 TFL?s for -4 yards, and only 1 QBH. And they were road graders setting 282 rushing yards. And they all come back next year.
Eiland has had the most growth for a player I have ever seen in my life
Those 2 young men at the tackles have been awesome for rookies. Darryl Williams pulls almost as good as Jenkins did last year and Calhoun and Jenkins are doing serious work. Our best ol who will be a high draft pick hasn?t even played the last 2 games. Future is bright.
Glad you posted this. I?m a terrible judge of oline play, but I thought Eliand looked good.Quote:

Looks like we got a few good ones coming in this class to go with what we already have. Got to keep getting better!Quote:

It's more like if you have to choose between two coaches who can get you to the NFL but you like one better than the other.Quote:

Having downplayed them, this is our most talented OL that in the era of Mullen/Hev recruiting and it is looking up from that perspective.
I'm not as experienced as you at looking at so many high school players but ... yea, I sho never thought he'd look as good as he is looking. His movement and feet are light years from his high school video.Quote:

He needs to be in the NFL. He don’t care to recruit, problem solved. His o-lines need a pre-season to get to form, problem solved. And we could find a recruiter that can coach, and has his guys playing well earlier in every season. That being said our young guys caught on pretty dang quick, and are better than I thought they were.Quote:

He is certainly one of the most complicated coaches in MSU historyQuote:

Below average to disgusting recruiting.
However, if he pulls Johnson, McDowell, Carvin, & Bliech in this recruiting cycle, then that is pretty damn good recruiting
The biggest development factor for the tackles this is year is having to face Rivers on the scout team every week.
We are now #2 in the country in Sacks Allowed; #4 in TFLs allowed, and #1 in least yards lost in TFLs
3 of our opponents are top 25 total defenses also.Quote:
