Mel Tucker has officially been fired "for cause".

Right, it means they chewed through Sparty's defense so quickly they didn't even need to convert 3rd downs to keep drives alive. Of the 7 failed 3rd down attempts, 2 were punts, 2 FGs, TO on downs, a fourth down convers

[Jeff Buchanan]

Looking at the Huskies v. Spartans game stats, I expect that Washington was very efficient (i.e. points per play) and 3rd down conversions to continue scoring drives were immaterial. They ran 72 plays and only punted twice. They were 6/7 in the RZ. Still, 3/10 third down conversions is a weird stat in what was otherwise a humiliating blowout loss for Sparty

[Mike]

Michigan State played good 3rd down defense only allowing Washington to convert 3 out of 10 opportunities. So it's pretty amazing that Washington compiled 713 yards of offense whilst only converting three 3rd downs the entire game.

While Sparty fans were so excited about Dantonio's return when announced, I must say he looked like a shadow of his heyday on the sideline. Bit of a deer in the headlight 'why am I here?' Joe Biden look, he's going to be 68 in March. Clearly, he is not going to be around long for this mess...and doesn't look like he wants to.

375 in the first half. Lol

[lineygoblue]

So if they held them to 34 yards rushing, did they have about 500 yards passing?

[Mike]

MSU held Washington to 34 yards rushing in the first half.

So glad Dantonio can give support down on the sidelines. Rally those guys!

I said before the season I want Tuck to go 5-7 and NOT get fired. The more information I’ve seen though, as dumb as he could be, I think he could be getting railroaded by her and the MSU university a little bit. This year might be tough if guys quit and start looking at other destinations mid-season. I would have rather they had to deal with the contract.
