Receiver Blair White was among the best in the entire Big Ten, scoring eight touchdowns and making big plays at crucial times. However, the running game has been less than stellar. It is hard to blame Larry Caper and Edwin Baker for lack of production, as both players are freshmen. If the Red Raiders focus on Cousins and the passing game, it could spell trouble for Michigan State. Then there are the defenses. Texas Tech is nationally known for its offense, but its defensive unit isnt chopped liver either. The defense can make plays when need be. Michigan State, on the other hand, has had many trials and tribulations.

The defense gave up points in bunches, had trouble stopping the pass, and allowed 29 touchdown passes Losing their best cornerChris L Ruckerwill not help out a reeling defense either. If the Spartans get down by a couple scores, it could be long day for the boys in green and white. Aside from Michigan States legal complications, there is one other little side note about the game: Its played in Texas! The Red Raiders have an extreme home-field advantage in the first-ever meeting between these two programs. While Spartans from near and far will make the trip to San Antonio, fans will mostly be donned in red and black. With plenty of time remaining between now and the game, the pressure is definitely on Michigan State to devise a game plan sufficient to contain the pass and put some big points on the board. Odds makers will be heavily favoring Texas Tech, but sometimes bowl games are about more than just statistics on a piece of paper . I have fought, fought, and fought some more. The Steelers are not the team that won the Super Bowl last year.

As hard of a fact that it is to swallow, it is one that has to go down anyway.I have argued with many people who have said for weeks that the season was over for the Black and Gold. Called some idiots, some bandwagon hoppers, and other just argued with to no end.And it is starting to look like, maybe they were right.After the Mike Tomlin decree to "Unleash Hell" in December, I thought the REAL Steelers would show their faces like the 2005 eventual Super Bowl Champions did. All they have done is show people that they are not the team that won their sixth Super Bowl just 10 short months ago.The Steelers philosophy has been to grab a head coach and keep him for more than a decade. Is that the Steelers best course this off season Tomlin has one year left on his contract, so the Steelers need to decide if they are going to let him enter the last year of his contract as a lame duck coach, or give him a contract extension.In analyzing this, we have to look at the pool of coaches that are available in this off season.In doing so, realize this; the Steelers will get which ever coach they choose to have.
