MSU 52 --- IU 27

We are not Last Years TEAM... We are a NEW TEAM ... We are Improving ....
We are a Resurrected Spartan Team...  We are A TEAM ... We are ONE !!!

Wow... Just Wow....  If Coach D, the Doctor... was ever going to show that there is a difference this was the game to do it...  No let down.. No confusion.. No missed tackles... No missed assignments..

This isn't your Dad's Spartans.. This is the Year.. New Coach.. New Personality on the Field..  They Showed it.. What a difference between the NW game and Indy.

Sitting in the stands, this one a fun one to watch !

Indiana University came in with a High powered offense, Hardy is a stud, and Lewis is a good QB.. Boy did they get shut down!  I was pleasantly impressed with the feeling I got from the Team From the moment the team stepped on the field to when they cheered with the Student Section after the game.

Just look at the Stats... Ringer 203, Hoyer 20 for 23, Thomas 148, Caulcrick 94, Forth down conversions 4 for 4.. 90 offensive  plays.. 5 Sacks... Wow... This was the team I believed they were from Day 1..

I'm sucking from the Green Kool-Ade faucet today!!!
