Grantham is a terrible DC. He called and coached a terrible game on defense, and damn near cost us the game. But in the end, Savage’s efforts paid off for us in a big way. If Grantham has an ounce of integrity, he’ll give his inflated salary for this week to Savage.

mostly at the secondary position. Their WR/TE just looked like men amongst boys against everyone back there. Hendo would have made an impact.

I'm taking my early statement back. grantham just plain sucks ass. Pure diarrhea ass. No discipline, no fundamentals, undersized upfront and can't cover with a king size blanket on the back end.

This. We seem to have cardio for days which shows up in the 4th, but we seem to get manhandled a lot up until that point.

Not really, on average. I think we were more out schemed and out coached for most of the game. UK put their players in a position to succeed and we did not.

We are playing one small DT, one DE and two OLBs on the DL most plays. Their 300-320 pound OLs (five of them) outweigh us by 60 pounds per man and we often just put three of our minis on the DL.

Wouldnt you expect to be pushed around? It is the choice we make in order to be blitz happy. We have real DLs on the sideline and we use them on goalline or 4th and 1.

I don't think UK has a good anything. They will be battling vandy and mizzo for bottom of the east as usual. The problem is that we are now slipping down to their level.

I'm sitting at the Louisville airport reading some posts. I had great 50 yard line, upper deck seats. If anyone ever asks "why do they call him '3rd and Grantham'?" - well, there you have it. Great win, but no "warm and fuzzies" about this team having a special season.

Thanx for the stats as they are good support for the many who side with us. But all I have needed is my own two eyes watching him for years to tell you that Joe Lee Dunn Jr. sux dog's ballz.

This year seems so bipolar. Never quite sure what to expect with the defense other than it’ll be better after halftime adjustments.

He is, at best, an average DC. There are far worse DCs out there, but a ton of better ones, too. He by no means deserves to be one of the highest paid DCs in college football. I really wish we'd let him walk to the NFL.

He’s said it before and he’s right: Grantham is a great hire at MSU. He’s not at Florida.
