After spending a great day in Berkeley last weekend with some Spartan faithful that ended in another frustrating near-win, today's game against Eastern Michigan was a treat. Javon Ringer scored 5 rushing TDs (yes that's five) in a dominant 42-10 victory over a team that won 52-0 last weekend. The Spartans looked strong, collected and smart - both the Defense and Offense showed flashes of greatness. Overshadowed by Ringer's breakout performance, receivers BJ Cunningham and Mark Dell proved to be big play makers that should have the rest of the Big Ten taking note.
On a sadistic note, I watched ND look tepid in their game, and I'm now watching a replay of the UM Miami U game with a smile on my face. That perennial powerhouse of the Mid-American East Conference was trailing UM 10 to 6 with 8 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Let me reiterate that, DickRod's (RichRod's?) new high-power spread offense rang up a simp-ly 16 points against Miami of Ohio in the "Big House". The game could have easily gone either way with a couple of missed catches and blown opportunities by Miami who ran and threw with confidence and surprising ease.
Week three has The Spartans playing Florida Atlantic (1-1) at home plus it will be fun to see which team prevails in the showdown of mediocracy in South Bend betweeen the Golden Domers and Wolverines.
