Window into the secondary's mentality via Chris L. Rucker: "Our plan is just to not give up big plays. We feel like if we don't give up big plays it makes our defense a lot better and it makes it harder for teams to score on us." (I'm cool with this as long as they, you know, actually do it.) -

France/Treadwell will play on Saturday; extra D-line depth can't hurt. Narduzzi's answers about scheme/etc. typically non-confidence-inspiring (claims MSU has run 3-4 sets; true?); hopefully, just poor attempts at misdirection. -
