    I certainly question the coaching- especially the usage of personnel. I do not question the effort of our players though.

    We don't really use a true FB. We hybrid H-backs that can function as TE's or FB. And Malcolm is a good one.

    100% talking about the lack of tuck and run on 15's part. Somebody is making that change from last year and logic says it's not Mullen.

    I can't understand why more people have not mentioned this. I agree that Shump isn't the answer at RB, but JRob wouldn't have fared much better last night. We were not nearly aggressive enough up front last night to run the ball. I do give them credit for improving the pass blocking in the second half.

    Having said all of this, I think our OL got better last night simply by going up against a good defensive front. I hate the loss as much as anyone, but I'm proud of the way we continued to battle and fight the entire game. There was a time in the first qtr some past MSU teams would have packed it in. This team did not.

    The black helicopters are strong in this thread.

    And in retrospect, we all should have seen this new "pass first/run second" dak coming in June when it was obvious he had dropped 10-15 pounds.

    There is no run 2nd.

    Just like there is no real read option as the handoff is guaranteed.

    Dusted off the 2012 playbook for this season. Weak and finesse all around.
