LAST TIME OUT: November 17, 2007 – Michigan State struck first to go up 7-0 but PSU responded swiftly by putting up 24 unanswered points, including a TD run by Kevin Kelly off of a fake field goal at the start of the third quarter. At the time, such a play seemed to be a [...]

I originally meant to do this earlier in the week, but like always, the procrastinator in me took over.

Well, I finally got around to another blog post after being bogged down with class and job responsibilities. Unfortunately, I’ve decided to scrap the whole Stephen Colbert-like approach to this segment and just go with straight-up analysis and interview.
