7-6 MSU 7:38 2nd Quarter. MSU's defense isn't looking too well early.

[Hawkeye4021]

no, tons of rushing yards after initial contact. I do think they were screwed over on a pi call in the endzonw though.

just posted something similar 2 minutes after you. wierd

YSU had 12 first downs through a quarter and a half...and are driving again...MSU poor tackling in open field.

[JonDMiller]

with 2:20 to go in 1st half, YSU with 42 plays to MSU 16, 14 first downs to 7, 19:08 TOP to 8:34, but down 14-6

Is it really as bad as the gamecast is making it look? I'm stuck at work yet again.

[hoffman22103]

Sort of... I can't believe they have 7 penalties so far!?!?!

[JonDMiller]

It's the first game and you expect some rust, but MSU has some poor tackling tonight.

[JonDMiller]

Was listening to some of this game on XM and they were saying Baker might be running in high 4.2 40's, then now on the BTN broadcast they are saying high 4.3's.

I will wager right now he doesn't run sub 4.4 at the NFL combine.

14-6 Halftime. Kind of a disappointing 1st half for MSU, we'll see if they can come out in the 2nd and do some damage?

[homerHAWKeye777]

MSU replaced a bit on D. They'll tighten things up as the season goes along.

Iowa often times doesn't tackle too well through the first game of the season.

Besides, YSU isn't too bad of a team. They legitimately gave Penn State quite a game last year ... and that was even before PSU's D got too dinged up.

MSU not looking great in the first series of the 2nd half. Surprised that YSU has held onto the ball so far though. 20 min vs 10 min for MSU?

[hawkfan1319]

This is our division favorite right? ha

[VintageHawkeye]

A lot of people on here have put up an "L" for teh Hawkeyes when Spfarty comes to Kinnick. I have said since the prediction threads began that we will NOT lose to MSU this season. I stand confidently by my prognostication even moreso as of this evening.

[IATrainMaster101]

as a rule, I try to avoid reading too much into week 1 games.
