I don't think you had a weak showing, I think MSU played a very good game that they should have won if we didn't have a moron for a coach.houndawg wrote:Salukis pull their heads out for just long enough to get the win on a FG by a kicker MSU passed on.....looked out of sync on offense and defense for most of the game.

I saw a lot of sloppy play on both sides of the ball. I was impressed with MSU front seven despite giving up 420 yds. Likewise Wooden, good job for a converted WR despite 3 picks and under 300 yds offense. I think the bye week can work both for and against a team and that we were flat after ours. I also think we were complacent after playing very well against Ole Miss.MSUBear42 wrote:I don't think you had a weak showing, I think MSU played a very good game that they should have won if we didn't have a moron for a coach.houndawg wrote:Salukis pull their heads out for just long enough to get the win on a FG by a kicker MSU passed on.....looked out of sync on offense and defense for most of the game.

MSU stopped kicking extra points to try and chase points. The first was one wasn't even a miss, it was a botched snap.MSUBear42 wrote:I don't think you had a weak showing, I think MSU played a very good game that they should have won if we didn't have a moron for a coach.houndawg wrote:Salukis pull their heads out for just long enough to get the win on a FG by a kicker MSU passed on.....looked out of sync on offense and defense for most of the game.

And when you get to go for two from the one yard line, you should make it.siuham wrote:MSU stopped kicking extra points to try and chase points.

Going for two on the second TD was a very poor decision. I think it's silly to try and get your two points back early in the game like that. If MSU had decided to just kick the XP then, they wouldn't have been 'forced' to go for two at the end of the game in order to make it a three point game. Going for two at the end was an attempt to make it so a FG wouldn't beat you, a logical move that any coach would have done. It just would have been unnecessary if the decision to go for two early wasn't made.
