Defense Wins Championships - 2013 Michigan State Spartans

[@2024ty]

Certainly one of the best defenses I've seen to this day

[@boopscoop3920]

FSU fan here and I can say that MSU and FSU had the best defenses in college football. Both teams play at an elite level defensively and I love it.

[@johnjuhasz9125]

Would have loved to see MSU and FSU play that year

[@MSU-DetroitFan]

That could have happened if the CFP was in place for that season because you would have Michigan State vs Florida State and Auburn vs Alabama in that CFP

[@michaeltakahashi3468]

@@MSU-DetroitFan Iowa fan here and I totally agree. With the way Connor Cook was playing, I feel like MSU would have had a real shot at the natty that year.

DEFENSE WINS GAMES ALSO TOO IN FOOTBALL.....

[@spicyoctopus]

Bullough, Calhoun, Dennard, Drummond, Waynes, Rush, Denicos - playmakers everywhere.

[@EFunkRock]

Paul Burkett don’t forget Denicos Allen.

[@chucky2569]

only two teams in big ten history that won 13 games in one season, Ohio State and Michigan State, what an amazing year it was for MSU

[@jimq]

I was thinking that I would love to have a DVD of all of the defensive series from this year, but this is pretty sweet. Thanks!

[@DreadnokBeast]

No Fly Zone!! Go Green!!!

[@y3ll0ch0c0lat3]

Michigan State makes the game look SO much fun to play. Go Green!

[@themecoptera9258]

Go White! (I know this is seven years late, but I was conditioned to respond this way.)

[@Skrymik]

Awesome film! I LOVED it Thank you for putting that together! Can you add OSU and Stanford to it now?

[@boling3308]

great video, but where is the pick and pitch pick six?!?

[@noteminemsburneraccount324]

To bad the ncaa did everything to make sure the sec got into the national championship game or Michigan state would of been National champs and that could of been what dantonio needed to get 5 star recruits

[@gixxerbrah4100]

11:01 I think I heard a queef just then

[@gowanie]

This team would of been National Champs if not for the biased Norte Dame refs…..

[@antoinepowell5821]

Boy

[@DaDankStrafe]

"Defense wins championships" usually refers to actual championships, and not division or conference championships...

[@encycl07pedia]

FSU's defense was better. Nobody even scored a rushing TD on FSU's 1st string defense until 2014.

[@grindlbebe]

Would have liked to play FSU. Auburn wasn't as good as MSU, and nearly beat the Seminoles. I think MSU wins that matchup. Look at the fourth quarter stats for OSU and Stanford. We beat people down. We would have done that against FSU.

[@encycl07pedia]

tom oren Yeah, sure you would have. Except you couldn't even beat Notre Shame and your offense is pathetic. FSU would destroy you because we had a better version of MSU's defense and Baylor's offense. You were just like a bunch of Ohio State fans, too. Oh, and the other team that beat Ohio State last season was Clemson, a team that FSU killed by 37. FSU 35 MSU 10, if that.

[@tman40111]

encycl07pedia uhh the score is off it would be 14 fsu to msu 21 comin down to a fourth quarter drive by cook if fsu and msu u played it would be one hell of a game no big plays just tough tough yards

[@itsthatakwardkid4595]

Bandwagon

[@encycl07pedia]

Its That Akward kid My first FSU game that I attended was FSU/Wake Forest 1997. You might call that a bandwagon because we were awesome back then, too, but we went through several 7-6 seasons and some very bad losses, not the least of which (or least important) was a 30-0 home loss to Wake Forest in 2006 that finally got rid of Jeff Bowden. I resent being called a bandwagoner. Feel free to shut the fuck up.

[@josepalacios8367]

Notre Dame still beat them!!

[@TUdaToken]

Very lucky to have played them in September when the offense was still trying to find an identity. MSU would've crushed ND if they played them in October or November, no question about it.

[@Skegeeboy3]

Also, ND was the recipient of some QUESTIONABLE calls.

[@encycl07pedia]

TUdaToken MSU's offense sucked ass all year. When you have problems with USF and lose to ND, you know you suck. Not to mention beating Purdon't 14-0.

[@encycl07pedia]

TUdaToken Uh, are you talking about yards? Because they sure weren't mediocre when it came to scoring. MSU's offense was awful. 14-3 win on NOVEMBER 30! What was that about them being "average?" Sorry, the "average" offense can put up 14 points in a half, not in 4 quarters.

[@encycl07pedia]

TUdaToken Please provide your source. You are also assuming that the median is the same as the mean, which is pretty stupid as well.
