This conversation began when you said "They might put up a lot of points, but they'll have to." If by "they'll have to" you were implying that by losing Winovich, Gary, and Bush, they'll fall out of the national Top 10, then I disagree with you for the reasons stated. But if you meant literally anything else, then we don't even have a disagreement.

Prediction.... 

Every QB that faces Nebraska will leave the game with an injury.

What's the opposing QB injury connection? I never assume dirtiness but UNL also doesn't have the pass rush and DBs to make "highest level defense" the answer.

I remember a recent year (was it 2016?), where I think as many as half the teams Michigan faced left the game without their QB starter on the field due to injury (sometimes temporary, sometimes season-ending). It wasn't dirty play that did it, just overwhelming and punishing play.

I still can't believe that Dantonio's response to the last few years of dismal offense was to:


  • fire no one
  • move his QB coach to RBs and OC
  • move his RB coach and co-OC to QBs
  • move his TE coach and co-OC to OL
  • move his OL coach to TEs
  • move his DBs coach to WRs
  • move his WRs coach to DBs



All the same faces are in the clubhouse, but literally every offensive coach has a new job. That's incredible. But it seems relatively few non-MSU fans have noticed.
I've noticed. I'm not sure what to think. There is a lot of Tressel in Dantonio. Tress had some bad years offensively and would move things a bit, but never made some giant change. And magically sometimes they looked a lot better.

Aren't a lot of them even the same coaches that were on Tressel's staff?

HUH?
I think it is plausible that he is unaware of the ownership of the specific broadcast rights for the B1G CCG.   

There was a great story, in the Ringer I think, about the NFC TV rights when FOX blew CBS out of the water for in the 90s, and one of the lines reported was Rupert Murdoch rubbing his hands together during a celebration and said, "Now, somebody tell me how they play this game."    That was a great story, and huge moment in broadcast sports history, but I digress.

Prediction, some of us will not like FOX's emphasis on 11 am central kickoffs.

I like it that the Iowa/Nebraska game on BTN will not be at 11am

1:30pm!

I think MSU has made a living with so many offenses that range from bad to average to good in that way you don’t notice that everyone just takes it as a given.

What’s more underrated is how MSU redid its defensive identity to a degree, and really no one noticed.

It depends on how you define "no one." We were well aware of their ascent last year, though we are obviously not a normal bunch.

I am going to be boring and pick Wisc vs OSU for the CCG.

It seems if you go that route, you can be right about 50% of the time.

Boring often is close to right.  The SEC picks look pretty obvious, and boring.  Florida though has a decent shot.

Michigan. Sparty, and Ohio State will all contend for the East Division.  Illinois will not contend for the West Division.

I don’t mean their ascent. I mean they went from high-risk, high-reward pass D (press coverage under Pat D) to more of a really good bend don’t break on the back end (a Dantonio-Tress type thing).
