Michigan State Complains About OSU Game Film

September 29, 2012 by 10 Comments

According to the Detroit Free Press’s Drew Sharp, Michigan State had some issues with the game film that Ohio State sent them ahead of today’s matchup.

“Narduzzi indicated that MSU complained to the Big Ten, but MSU associate athletic director John Lewandowski said MSU athletic director Mark Hollis and Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith settled the issue between them, with no Big Ten involvement.

Narduzzi told the Free Press that Ohio State cut off pre-snap motions and shifts before plays on film of its four games prior to Saturday’s 17-16 OSU win at Spartan Stadium.

“We had tape cut off all week, where they changed the tape, I’m not gonna lie to you,” Narduzzi said outside the MSU locker room. “They send you tape and they’ve got it all cut off and you don’t get to see shifts or motions or anything else.””

Given some of the cold comments this week from Mark Dantonio about the current Ohio State head coach compared to the former one plus the late recruiting of Se’Von Pittman and today’s Spartan loss, it’s not likely that Michigan State is real fond of the scarlet and gray right about now.

    Cry me a river, I don’t even see why team’s should send each other game tapes… besides, MSU used entirely new formations against OSU but I nobody is crying foul over that…

    It’s just talk. Same thing they did all game today. Talk.

  • Wow

    Michigan State should be more upset about looking like crap so far. What an overrated team.

    I hope by the end of the season every coach in the B1G hates us and Urb runs a freight train over every one of them.

    We are still a flawed team but a young team; I expected to see these mistakes this year.

    Brax and Devin are developing a good chemistry. Hyde and Dunn will come into their own and the young secondary will eventually learn to destroy wideouts versus trying to strip on each catch. The D line recruits will grow and with their speed be scary.

    The unit needing the most work is the LB’ers.

    Sparty has to throw a fit now that we most likely kicked them out of the Top 25 and pretty much dashed their dreams of Pasadena. Not our fault you cant beat a ranked team, Other Team From Up North.

    Also this story is not surprising one bit.

    Dantonio was crying before the season even started about Urb’s recruiting practices.

    The end of game midfield convo was one of the coldest shortest ones I’ve seen in awhile.

  • Buckeyedawg

    I honestly didn’t even know they still did this at the d-1 level, considering every game is televised. Get your own tape and stop whining, Sparty.

    You really didn’t dash their Pasadena dreams. Unlike a certain team from Columbus, MSU can still go to and win the Big 10 Championship Game and thus go to Pasadena. And, their division (UM, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota) looks pretty soft right now; shoot, Northwestern is the highest ranked team on that side.

  • mgbode

    to be fair, the other division looks pretty soft too. and that is before factoring in that OSU and PSU are disqualified from the postseason.

    i’m rooting for NW to go to Pasadena. if we are going to be a bad conference, we might as well have a good story come out of it.

    Well, and ironically, OSU will actually *help* MSU this weekend if they knock off Nebraska. And even though Michigan was horribly overrated to start the season (and I say that as this site’s resident Michigan fan), they still have only lost to two top-10 teams, the latter of which was on the road, only by a TD, and after turning the ball over like every time they had it.

    I guess my point is that the Big 10 is so bad from top to bottom, IMHO, that it’s really anybody’s race right now. And considering only four teams on one side have a shot at making the title game, and the right-now best-looking team is one of the teams that can’t, it’s that much worse.
