How did the game go?
Well MSU looked amazing once the Offense got off the bus in the third quarter. Hondo tweeted, not while driving I'm sure, that the traffic going to the Outback Bowl was awful. I can't believe the whole first half got played before the O showed up, but I'm sure glad they did.
More seriously though, this game was completely a microcosm of MSU's season. No or inconsistent offense all through the first 2/3rds of theseason game. Stifling defense all through the season game. Good to great special teams all through the season game.
Sacks
Remember how Cousins was under fire the whole first half? Well, he only got sacked once. This had less to do with the Offensive Line which substituted McGaha to help France figure out what to do... which like luv u McGaha, but WTF. Our tackles were lost and hadn't played a 3-4 worth a shit since ND. It took them almost 3 quarters to figure out WTF was going on. Meanwhile, our D-Line rattled the shit out of Murray for four sacks and a host of bad throws. Well played.
Anthony Rashad White
When he was playing out of his gourd in the first and second quarters and I figured he'd be exhausted by the fourth quarter. But the MSU D-Line just looked better and better as the game moved along. He was a mountain of a man who was an example of his unit today. Gholston was outstanding, Worthy was outstanding, Rush was outstanding. Outstanding game across the board by the DL. Drone was huge. This unit could not have played better in my opinion. KJ from the not so reclined position in his living room noted that 24 percent of plays resulted in a tackle for loss. This is legendary.
Dan Roushar
A great point made by LVSatTOC, Roushar called plays super craptabulous in the first half, but made outstanding adjustments in the second half to put MSU in a position to win. I still think he abandons his gameplan TOO quickly and that's something he should work on in the offseason. He got MSU the points he needed to win the game.

- Why did pass pro improve so much from the first half to the second?
- How did UGA so effectively shut down Bell?
- Why was MSU's D-Line so effective at getting through UGA's O-Line?
