MSU’s Dantonio talks to Big Ten about controversial call

Their quarterback, Connor Cook, is positioning himself well for a future pro career, throwing for 398 yards and four touchdowns last week.

Reilly’s touchdown came at the end of a 91-yard play drive that lasted 38 seconds.

Nebraska’s Tommy Armstrong, Jr., accounted for four touchdowns in the Huskers’ win over Michigan State.

Cook had a record-setting game to that point as it appeared Michigan State was going to shake off a sluggish start to remain unbeaten. In fact, Armstrong made plenty of mistakes during their 39-38 win over the Michigan State Spartans.

“I was putting a few clothes on a hanger this morning that had just been cleaned”, Dantonio said during his weekly teleconference on Sunday.

No. 7 Michigan State is 8-0 on the season and 4-0 in Big Ten play but is just 6.5 point favorites as it visits 3-6 Wisconsin.

In another Big Ten game last month, Carollo acknowledged a breakdown of officiating mechanics in regard to down and distance during Nebraska’s game at Illinois. Nine games into Mike Rileys first season at Nebraska, and coming off an embarrassing 55-45 loss at Purdue, athletic director Shawn Eichorst expressed his support for the coach in a letter to fans this week.

While Butt’s younger brother would later take credit, or more accurately, blame, for the ill-advised tweet, a similar sentiment was already widespread in Ann Arbor-even if it puts the Michigan faithful in the unique position of rooting for rival Ohio State for the next two weeks.

Got a question about Ohio State football? Assuming both teams win next week, the Buckeyes will have no losses, and the Spartans would have one. It felt odd, but maybe the odds makers in Vegas knew something that the rest of us simply needed to wait to learn. “My job is to coach”, Dantonio said.

Reilly had gone out of bounds and come back in to make the catch. It does not bode well as they come up against one of the top rated offenses in the country, so look for this to be a one-sided, high scoring affair. And last season, while a November 8 loss to the Buckeyes in Spartan Stadium cost MSU a spot in the first CFP, it rallied for three-straight wins to land a berth in the Cotton Bowl and become the only team in the nation to end the last two seasons with victories in top-tier bowls.

“I just don’t like to use injuries as an excuse because we have depth on this team”, he said.

Nebraska’s win improves the Huskers to 4-6 on the season.

“I’m pretty offended by that”, Harbaugh said. We kept believing. Being down two scores with four minutes left, we saw guys leaving the stands. That would be bad news for the Big Ten at large-if a two-loss Michigan team ends up beating Iowa in the conference title game, the league will probably get shut out of the playoff-but it’d obviously be a fantastic result for the maize-and-blue faithful.

“We want to do better for everybody”, he said. His wide receivers have played well, the offensive line is finally healthy and the running backs have shown they’re capable.

“We can only control what we can control, and that’s making plays out there, and what the refs call whether it’s in our favor or not is out of our control”, Harris said. If Michigan State, the Spartans are in the Rose.
