Their loss in Nebraska was karma for their win in Ann Arbor. They should be a one loss team and they are.
Ferentz vs. Dantonio: Their head to head record
- Thread starter Herkmeister
- Start date
we put a beatdown on them in 2010, 37-6. The following year, they were back at kinnick for a second year in a row and they came out and throttled Iowa the first half. Iowa was making a comeback, and then a comet flew over the stadium causing all kinds of injuries for michigan state
Iowa could've easily made a game of that, if they hadn't stopped playing midway through the 3rd qtr. They moved the ball late, but had run out of time.
But hey good news is, since you got us in that game, that means we're due a game (i.e. you owe us one). Turnabout is fair play. You've got your championships. Now it's our turn. Deal with it.
it will be interesting to see how Dantonio creates his faux chip on the shoulder thing this week since he'll be favored. I still think we will see in the coming years that Narduzzi was the brains behind the operation. Dantonio is a good coach, but he has also benefited from a weak Ann Arbor and PSU over the last 5 years.
Farty has a flair to throw in the occasional trick play. Ex; the hook and ladder the year that McNutt extinguished them on the slant across the middle.
And all we have to do is "win" again, no need to dominate. Apparently you didn't hear Kirk yesterday when asked about style points. "Style points are important in gymnastics, we just want to score 1 more point than the other team"...
I will never forget those guys faking injuries. Happened at least 5 times. Guy would lay on the ground walk off under his own power, then be in the next play. Sad display of sportsmanship rivaling European soccer teams. Comes in 2nd to Dantonio allowing Rucker to call his own punishment after getting out of jail on a Thursday.

wow...
But our colors, mascot, songs, and name of our team is more awesome, which gives us the advantage.

From who we played stats look similar however we beat Nebraska. MSU will have a slight edge. I'm thinking it will depend on which D comes up with the big plays. We'll see how it all pans out soon enough
Just heard them talking about this on the radio. Not only is Kirk 4-3 straight up against Dantonio, he's also 5-2 against the spread. I don't know what talking head it was, but he like Iowa.
