"Overrated!"

All hail Drew Stanton!

MSU: 51; MN: 17

Today's weather: cold, windy, and rainy. "What a beautiful day for football!" Was the announcer insane? The game hadn't already started and my ass was already numb. Now I came in pessimistic about our chance against Minnesota but today certainly turned my frown upside down. We scored early in the game and just kept running it up. In some sort of devine inspiration, the sun broke out while MSU scored two of their touchdowns. The rest of the time, it was raining, and in the last few minutes of the game, it was freezing rain. But we stayed through it yelling over and over again, "Overrated!" towards Minnessota who is ranked at 20. It tasted so sweet to bring this team down a peg.

So who's the man? Drew Stanton is the man! This guy really knows when to run the ball himself. He does it so well that today he broke the school record for total offense-- 410 yards. His predecessor, Jeff Smoker, held the record for 393 yards set in 2001. MSU is lucky so far to have this guy. I hope that he stays and improves for two more seasons and perhaps MSU will become a big Big Ten team.
