Not much to say other than I was off by 7 points (predicted 42-7 PSU win at www.spartantailgate.com). I hate it when I am right, especially when it comes to a Spartan loss.
Everything that I have been writing about these past few months regarding the issues with this team was in full display on Saturday.

		<description><![CDATA[With the final regular season game set for Saturday I can only reflect on the season the might have been.
The team just never jelled or gave the feeling that they would sustain the momentum generated the previous year. The defense which was supposed to be the strength of this team has failed miserably in my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jollygreengiants.wordpress.com&blog=877012&post=3097&subd=jollygreengiants&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So MSU decided to beat up on the lowly Broncos of Western Michigan, whoopee!  Sorry for my sarcastic attitude, but I still see too many mental breakdowns by this team to make me overly optimistic about the final two games of the 2009.
Don&#8217;t be fooled by the rushing stats against WMU that the Spartans [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jollygreengiants.wordpress.com&blog=877012&post=3096&subd=jollygreengiants&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me first state the I am proud that Mark Dantonio took responsibility for the loss on Saturday night, however that still doesn&#8217;t exonerate him or his staff from the absolutely horrendous job of coaching.
Redzone offensive play calling was once again questionable, especially short yardage situations where the only option appears to be poorly designed [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jollygreengiants.wordpress.com&blog=877012&post=3093&subd=jollygreengiants&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The words, &#8220;Two minute warning&#8221; now strike fear into the hearts of Spartan fans.  it seams that no matter how large a lead the Spartans have, an opponent will find a way to overcome the deficit and pull out a victory.

		<description><![CDATA[Forgive me if I don&#8217;t sound enthusiastic about MSU&#8217;s chances Saturday against Iowa, but the short history of the Dantonio era in &#8220;Big Games&#8221; has not been spectacular. To me a &#8220;Big Game&#8221; requires players to step up and make plays consistently and coaches to have their team mentally and physically prepared.
In 2007 MSU had [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jollygreengiants.wordpress.com&blog=877012&post=3088&subd=jollygreengiants&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Force them to run the football.
It&#8217;s that simple.
For the first two years of the Dantonio regime the running game was what carried this team offensively. It was a key, the bread and butter formula Dantonio instituted for playing winning football. If you could stop the MSU running game [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jollygreengiants.wordpress.com&blog=877012&post=3076&subd=jollygreengiants&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

First and foremst the offensive line is definitely offensive. If people believe that having Javon Ringer running behind this line would make a difference they&#8217;re wrong. It&#8217;s not who is carrying the ball that is the problem but the line and its inability to run block.
