That game was played in Little Rock (capacity 54,000) and not their home stadium in Fayetteville. Still would have figured they would have more than that though. Think most of their fans want that Head Coach gone.
Is there a reason they went neutral site? Cause 40K seemed high from the pictures I’ve seen

That’s 100% targeting but holy **** does that QB slide super late and very weird

It’s within the rules I guess. MSU needs to adjust.

But that’s one rule that needs to be looked at. I don’t know what a defender is supposed to do. Cause the moment that they start letting up the QB will just stay up and run through him.

Agreed, this was a point the staff brought up alot this week and has been pointing out to the refs, also glad he was ok but no idea how you don’t run a concussion test on him. If he keeps sliding like that he’s not surviving the season it’s just so unorthodox. He doesn’t slide he jump sits, it’s really weird but did get them almost 45 yards on offense

UNC quarterback Max Johnson, who is the son of superbowl winning QB Brad Johnson, underwent season ending surgery today for a broken femur. He was a grad transfer.
Hope he got paid up front.

Agree, it already happens on runs to the sideline where QBs look like they're going to run out and the defender eases off to not make contact and the QB instead turns it up the sideline for more yards. Complete BS.

‘Sold out Spartan Stadium’ as they pan the crowd showing all of the empty seats. Students showed up though.
