MSU just had a bye week after playing 2 tuneup games against Bowling Green and Western Michigan which they easily won. Their offense features a dual threat QB Brian Lewerke and a good RB in LJ Scott. They have a fairly decent OL and a good front seven on defense. They also have Mark Dantonio
Don’t let yourselves get conned – that was not a Chris Long Offense run against Georgia. That was all Kelly. Just like Sanford, Long is on a tight leash. I’m almost positive Kelly told Long we’ll run MY offense and all Game Plans have to be Ok’d by me. So nothing has changed. Also, ask
