MI State WR somehow makes great one-handed catch
MI State has been waiting a year to avenge last year’s 49-37 loss to Ohio State in East Lansing. Cook has been brilliant for the Spartans, but the Terrapins will try to disrupt his rhythm. MSU was then able to hang on from there. The third quarter began with Cook wearing a headset rather than his helmet.
“I just landed on it amusing”, Cook said. Cook has stated that he will be good to go against Ohio State next week, according to Spartans reporter Graham Couch.
“We will be alright, Connor will be alright”.
Kings hauled in a 28-yard pass from Connor Cook with a diving one-handed effort early in the second quarter on a 3rd-and-6.
The No. 14 Spartans will play host to the Maryland Terrapins at noon November 14 in Spartan Stadium. An important aspect of the game will be if the Spartans can capitalize on Maryland’s tendency to give away the football.
“I heard about it”, Conklin said. Look for the MI State secondary to also bounce back in a big way.
Maryland quarterbacks Perry Hills and Caleb Rowe both threw interceptions for an offense that added to the nation’s worst turnover margin with five giveaways Saturday. With Jordan Howard back, the running game was outstanding against a supposedly impenetrable Iowa D, coming up with 227 yards averaging close to six yards per carry. It gave MI State a tough time, and lost.
That acrobatic catch was the biggest play of the game for the Spartans offense in the first half, as they took a 17-7 lead over Maryland at the break. Maryland now has 28 interceptions this season, which is by far the most in the country.
“Last week was a letdown on the defensive side of the ball”, MI State linebacker Riley Bullough said. I think MSU has a chance to really shock a few people this season but if Anastos misses the NCAA tournament for the 4th season in a row while football and basketball continue to be great, apathy could hit a new low.
MI State: RB Gerald Holmes.
“Probably about 30 seconds”, Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said when asked how much time he talks about CFP rankings with his team in a given week. The performance did not go unnoticed. “They’re going to get worked on at times”. I want to just keep doing my part when the coaches call my name, which I’ve been telling them I’ll get the job done. “We plan on executing our assignments – and get everything straight”. MI became the eighth Big Ten women’s basketball team to garner a postseason berth last season, earning a berth to the Women’s National Invi-tation Tournament (WNIT). The Spartans held All-Big Ten return man William Likely to just seven punt return yards and 58 kickoff return yards. Freshman punter Jake Hartbarger also had a solid game, averaging 42.4 yards per kick and putting four punts inside the 20-yard line. Boykin joined his team on the sideline and did not return for the game. “I thought Hartbarger performed tremendously”.
Can MI (7-2) focus before the big games ahead? This is the game that everyone had circled on their calendar. The over/under total for the game has been set at 56.5 points.
