00:00John, you're seeing the same thing I'm seeing.

00:02You're seeing a program with a little bit of juice.

00:04No one's overselling what they're doing in East Lansing.

00:06They're going to be fighting to make a bowl game.

00:08So it appears they're headed in the better direction than Michigan is.

00:11Here's here's the way I see it.

00:13Which team is better than when they started the season?

00:17I miss you.

00:18And you have that win against Iowa.

00:20It creates a little confidence for the players going into this rivalry game.

00:25And honestly, for this game is typically decided by who rushes the ball the most.

00:31Now I know football has changed.

00:33Offenses have changed.

00:34Corner coordinators, coaches have all changed.

00:37But that's going to be a part of it.

00:39Honestly, this game is going to come down to who wins the turnover battle, because we've

00:43seen some costly ones by Aiden Childs and the Spartans.

00:47And it's not like he's lighting it on fire as a passer.

00:49He's less than 60% completion.

00:52He has more interceptions than he has touchdown throws.

00:56But it's the same thing with Michigan.

00:57They've got 15 turnovers.

00:59Yeah, I think it's like a cliche to say you got to win the turnover battle.

01:03But I think it's especially doubly, triply true about these two teams, because that's

01:07MSU's deal to MSU has had issues with turnovers.

01:11The Boston College game was on Aiden Childs because he couldn't stop turning the ball

01:14over.

01:15I think the difference is while Michigan and Michigan State both turn the ball over, one

01:19of them at least gets explosive plays out of their offense.

01:22One of them has a quarterback that can challenge 30 yards down the field with NFL throws.

01:26And it's still not always there for Childs, but at least the threats there and that they

01:30do deliver on it a couple times a game, Michigan doesn't.

01:34And it's like, OK, both teams have to avoid three or four turnovers because because they're

01:38both capable of turning the ball over multiple times.

01:41The difference to me is MSU has the quarterback in the offense and some balance to where they

01:45can actually produce.

01:47And I think their defense, they did a really nice job against Iowa stopping the run this

01:51week.

01:52There's one big run and their tailbacks really good.

01:54But I think Joe Rossi's been a really good hire for Jonathan Smith in East Lansing.

02:01Ticket text to four, eight, five, three, nine, ninety seven, ninety seven.

02:04We're getting plenty of these.

02:05The program is the same as before their sign stealing go green.

02:10So who do you blame that they don't have the other team's plays?

02:15Let's be honest.

02:16We're not going to get better with more as our coach.

02:17We need we need someone who brings something else to the table sickening when you have three

02:21first rounders on defense.

02:22There's no excuse to be this average ticket texture says Jim flirting with the NFL after

02:27saying he was done with the NFL has hurt this program and recruiting and the roster.

02:31He was all in with the covid extra year guys.

02:34More was forced into this mess.

02:38And now the fan base hates him.

02:40Your reactions.

02:41Who do you blame?

02:42And the question was apathy or outrage.

02:44Michigan has not held up their end of the bargain.

02:46This rivalry week feels flat.

02:48Ninety seven one.
