Scout’s Notebook: Wisconsin @ Michigan State

Scout’s Notebook: Wisconsin Michigan State  10/02/10

Written By: Tyler Oberly

Greg Jones and the Michigan State defense proved they are one of the best in the Big Ten Saturday as they held Wisconsin’s offense under 300 total yards for the day. Jones was all over the field against the Badgers, leading his team with eight tackles on the day, three of which were for a loss. His play inspired the Spartan defense to make big stops throughout the game. Wisconsin’s offense converted just 3 of 11 third downs, something senior Spartan linebacker Eric Gordon notes. “We call it our ‘money down.’ We stayed focused every time we stepped on the field today and made plays. I was really proud of our team for that.”

Wisconsin’s running attack proved to be their bread and butter offensively, rushing for 165 yards and a pair

Scout’s Notebook: Stanford @ Oregon

Scout’s Notebook: Stanford Oregon  10/02/10

Written By: Kenny Franek

If you love offense, then this was your game. Featuring two of the top offenses in the nation, not to mention two of the top quarterbacks in the nation, these two teams combined for 83 points and over 1,100 yards of total offense. Both Andrew Luck and Darron Thomas played as advertised, but it was LaMichael James who stole the show with 257 yards and three touchdowns. The defenses weren’t much of a factor in this offensive explosion, so the main focus fell on the offense of both teams. Here are the highlights and lowlights from some of the players…

Darron Thomas may be one of the more underrated runners at the quarterback position. On the very first play from scrimmage he kept an option and went virtually untouched for a 22-yard

Scout’s Notebook: Penn State @ Iowa

SCOUT’S NOTEBOOK: PENN ST.@IOWA

Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions gave a solid effort versus Iowa’s offense, but their inexperience and inability to contain a formidable defensive line were too much to handle for Penn State in their 24-3 loss.

Iowa’s front four was dominant throughout the contest. Here’s a review of the Hawkeye’s devastating line play, along with the rest of the players who took part in the Big Ten showdown.

Clayborn still the man

Entering the game last Saturday, some were wondering if standout defensive end Adrian Clayborn might have been in the midst of a down season given his lack of stats in weekly box scores (15 tackles, 1.5 TFLs, two quarterback hurries, no sacks and no forced fumbles).

What the box scores don’t tell you is that opposing coaches specifically game plan for the 22-year-old hell raiser by making sure he’s being guarded by multiple players.
