re: MSU WR Osirus Mitchell postgame comment

I'm not taking up for the other guy, but without watching the replay, we basically never ran this D. We played tons of single high safety man. We did 90% single high safety man and man zero blitz. Costello is a veteran QB who is well coached. He would look the safety off left, throw right.

My question is why are Raymond and Busch's names not brought up instead of just Pelini's? Raymond hasn't forgotten how to coach DB's. Then people are acting like if someone can't play man then surely they know zone. I think they would have screwed that up as well with lacking knowledge of responsibilities, transitions/switching off/on receivers, etc. We have too many guys with very low experience levels and started off vs a daunting matchup with Leach. If the offense had generated more productive drives the first half some of this would have been alleviated to a degree.
