• I agree; Sparty shouldn't lose six in a row next season.

• State is suffering from an awful 2012 and 2013 recruiting class. They are a young team but you have to trust Mark Dantonios track record, they will be fine. Losing an NFL quarterback and 1st round Tackle doesn't help. I would expect the Spartans to bounce back in 2017.

• It hurts not having Narduzzi. The no-fly zone disappeared when he left for Pitt.

• Could MSU be suffering due to the loss of Narduzzi, and it's finally catching up with them ?

• Just looked it up, Allen Park only gave up 62 points on D all year. Yikes!!

• No way can #9 play in the Big Ten.

• Maybe your Spartans need #9 ?

• State had their highest recruiting class in history in 2016. They were 3rd in the B1G. They have some sort of bad karma going this season. There is talent still left there. They had 32 players returning who had started at some point prior to this year. I think injuries have taken a toll, pride has gotten in the way (didn't like them allowing cameras into training camp very undantonio like), and quite frankly I think coaching has become a bit suspect. I thought State looked very good at times against Wisconsin. You give up a 66 yard fumble recovery for a TD and a bad snap on a punt that leads to a 1 yard scoring drive and the wheels fall off. Blow a game to Indiana that you led in and now players are second guessing. I always thought the Spartans have lived on the good side of karma since the 7-6 season, maybe it is finally catching up with them.

  I would love the see State offer PJ Fleck $1 million per to come in as the OC or maybe replace Dantonio if he retires. I really think his health is an issue. He looks gray and just doesn't seem right.

• After the playoffs. I don't want to steal any teams thunder. Plus it lengthens the season a bit. :)

• Hey Chris, when is your All Huron League picks coming out?
