this was their play... 1st down, run up the midde, 2nd down, run up the middle, 3rd and long, incomplete pass. michigan st caught stanford's d off guard several times by throwing in early downs. i honestly thought standford was gonna do this to michigan st, not the other way around.
also, kicking a fg when you're down by 7 inside 5 minutes is stupid. they should've went for it on 4th and 4 instead of kicking that fg.
