    Rich Rogriguez has to be off his rocker if he called that fake punt. You are at the opponent's 21 yard line... your punter is standing at the 13 yard line... you are less than half way though the 3rd quarter and down by 4 points... tea, that's the place to call a fake punt.

    I'm sure he figured it would suprise the hell out of them. Very unconventional and out of the box (or mind) move.

    Going to overtime, Tate Forcier does it again. The kid is money in the 4th qtr. I have to say I grudgingly admire the kid.

    Well the string ran out for Forcier. He got away with a really bad toss on the TD drive to tie that should have been an INT. Now he tosses the critical INT in the 1st possession in OT. MSU just has to hold on to the ball and kick the FG, instead they go ahead and score.

    Dramatic finish and a big win to turn the season around for Sparty. Life gets even tougher most likely for UM when they have to go to Iowa.

    Tom, I see their problem...the punter should never line up 66 yards behind the center...that is just asking way too much of your long snapper.

    Oops... I got as sloppy with my post as a Jonathan Crompton pass to the flat. :?
