Honestly not even that weird. Our defense is gettable which isn’t a surprise and on offense we had a dropped wide open TD, followed up by a block field goal, intermixed with our new LT getting absolutely facerolled Quite a few times. That’s about it.
It’s pretty much the entire OL

These announcers on peacock are annoying. Terrible first half all around. Turner looks good even though he looks like he’s still not 100%.

Felt like a defensive secondary trying to find its way without both their leaders for the first time.

Fitz & four going for it every time MSU has the ball. We have to make him pay. Offense needs to step up in the 2nd half. Go Cats!

Sorta, but honestly the secondary has been pretty okay and it’s just Pate getting cooked on the outside, and Pate (and Adeyi) being cookable outside isn’t new

They're offensive coordinator realizes how bad our cornerbacks are and they keep taking shots that have several opportunities that could have been significant plays with a quarterback overthrew. With no pass rush and poor cornerback play this is going to be a struggle.

Felt like we were dragged into a classic Fitz “rock fight,” just from the other side. Sign of program growth if we can emerge out of it in the second half.

Milesovic is playing on rythem and on time because he has total protection most plays and is able to just make his reads and play on time and clean

McG doesn’t think MSU can consistently execute. He’s probably not wrong, but we probably have to force the issue a bit.

Child's not having a good game missed wheel route again. And of course our special teams aren't very good. Just an all-around flat game just so sad
