Things discussed:
- The Rutgers game: Is the passing game coming along? Defense: just a handful of breakdowns and a grind down. Need more help from the WRs.
- Running games are more consistent than long passing games; low-variance option getting 7 ypa is going to hold up better than 2 long pass plays on 3rd and long.
- Rutgers had a good gameplan.
- Donovan Edwards had a game. He's rounding into a star now. Vision is great, receiving is A+ for a receiver. Needs to get to be 75% of Corum as a pass blocker to be a complete back.
- McCarthy: Great throw, shoulda made an easier throw to another guy.
- Illinois: got unlucky to fall into MSU's strength. Ohio State-Northwestern: there's a certain lack of toughness to them, but they can kill us in a track meet.
- Tom Izzo is sick of being the bad guys.
