MU's size on the front line wasn't the issue, (avg of 6'4 and 305 lbs), it was their lack of speed out of the stance. In the first half MU did have some success running the ball, not enough obviously. But it's not the size of the front lines that MSU will face that will be the issue but rather the speed of thos offensive lines. Based on last night a big quick and mobile offensive line could give MSU trouble, particularly early.
This was a good game to open with for MSU despite the criticism. There was never a question of who would win. It was a game that was geared toward finding out what they needed to work on going into a much tougher match next week.
MSU did exactly what it was supposed to do, put the game away early, win big, and avoid injuries. Whether they found much out other than the defensive line issues is questionable. A win is a win, but if anyone in Cat Nation thinks this was a test that would show them how great they think they are, is simply delusional. This is what was supposed to happen, nothing more, nothing less.
