C'mon NUTS, while our talent level is low, it's not zero and we're simply not executing well and don't seem to be that fired up either - and lots of penalties - some of that is on the coaching staff. I like them, but they're taking some lumps, too.

Absolutely some of it is on the staff, no question, but the lack of talent, in most of these games, has been abundantly clear. I mean we can't even run a KO or Punt back more than a few yards because our ST's are so devoid of talent.

disagree....talent plays out over the course of the game not repeatedly right from the get go, you dont have to be down 21-0 looking like pop warner in the first 10 minutes..its on Ash

Bingo....very disturbing to see us continually unprepared to start games. It was the same story even vs howard and New Mexico.

Ash has done nothing to impress me other than recruiting and I highly doubt he'll be able to build on this year's class after this showing. ...and that's assuming this year's class doesn't fall apart.

Hicks Goodwin and Martin have talent. Strength of our team and throwing out patterns cross the field or poorly executed draws or screens. Alot of this is indeed coaching.

If Gio can't run, then get Oden out there. You already burned his shirt, so let the kid play. Can he do much worse than 22 yards passing in one quarter...?

We have no talent.

Exercise for the game. Name all the players we have that would start for MSU.

Go

fire Mehringer, fire Special teams coach, pray that the recruiting class sticks around and move on...

I'd say demote Mehringer. Fire Okruch. Ash take over DC responsibilities as co-DC. Bring on best seasoned OC and special teams coordinator Ash can attract.

You're hysterical. All you do is complain about not getting the RB's the ball more. When Goodwin is getting it too much you want Martin in there. When Hicks is getting touches you complain. I assume you were a RB back in the day because your love-affair with the 3 of them is just a tad noticeable lol! [cheers]

Nice to have Calhoun talk about how great it is to beat up on his home state. Should be a 15-yard penalty and loss of down for Mich St. for unnecessary piling on. :(
