re: I think I found out what happened Saturday night.

To be honest, when you are an 8 point favorite on the opponent's field, which in reality makes you an 11 point favorite ( give MSU 3 pts because it's home) it screams to the fans....and even the team that this will be "relatively" easy.

MSU has a very good system in place especially offensively right now that does not necessarily require that Mullen recruit all 4 and 5 stars. Like Oregon under Kelly, he's recruiting specific types and then developing them into his scheme. He's not grabbing a Brandon Harris because he's 4 star. He would recruit a Brandon Harris because he's 4 star QB who fits the criteria he wants . He's not going to take him and try to make him into a pure pocket passer...if tat's not what he's good at.

Also, quietly, he has been getting some quality recruits on the defensive side....like Leo Lewi$
