Hey genius, go back and check some of Dantonio's quotes after last season's losses, about making another play or two, and it being a game of inches, and
MSU wins instead of loses. Often the player he was speaking to was his QB Hoyer, and the proof was in the pudding, when Hoyer hung in against PU, & PSU
MSU turned things around. When Hoyer didn't make the plays, like first half PSU & the bowl game, then
MSU was in trouble. Some things aren't rocket science, including a football team getting as far as it's QB can take it. Please don't say it isn't all the QB, obviously, but the QB IS USUALLY the keystone.
Also, compare Smoker's senior year to Hoyer's last year. Yes Smoker was a senior, but he was also coming back after a disasterous season that included rehab, and he ran a new system to an 8 - 4 record, setting a few
MSU QB records in the process.
