King, Jr. Blvd Lansing, Ml 48910 www.hazenlumber.com Li DAVE WEAVERASSOCIATED PRESS MSU running back Le'Veon Bell tries to get past Nebraska's Will Compton on Saturday.

The Spartans had some success early giving the ball to Bell, but struggled when they turned to the pass and were shutdown for most of the game by the Cornhuskers. ii iiib.i mm ii noon Saturday. It's easy to blast play-calling when plays don't work. It's important to remember that Roushar does this for a living and has reasons for doing things that people who don't do his job for a living cant determine by watching from a living room or press box. But it sure seemed like MSU could have run the ball more, for one thing.

MSU's improving offensive line was getting push up -front. "I would agree with you," Mark Dantonio said when asked if there was opportunity to run more, but also said: "At some point, you've got to throw it." "The passing game, they just shut us down," he said. "And then they got pressure on the quarterback (in the second half). And it's tough to throw and give them credit, they made plays on the ball down the field. So it's a two-way situation.

"I'm sure if you're Nebraska right now you're feeling like you played tremendously on defense. If Rexrode Continued From 1D for themselves. Still, he didn't have open receivers very often. This Nebraska secondary, shredded at various points of this season, was on everything the Spartans tried. "They just had Cover 2 (with two safeties splitting the deep part of the field), they played it well," MSU's Keshawn Martin said.

"And then the plays we were running, they played right into the Cover 2 they were doing, so there wasn't really nothing we could do there." A team's starting quarterback and its offensive coordinator are the two easiest targets for criticism when an of fense doesn't perform. First-year MSU offensive coordinator Dan Roushar was not available for interviews after the game, but his name has certainly been mentioned a few times since mid-after you're a Michigan State guy, you thought we played awful. But somewhere in between there, there's an opportunity to make plays for us and we've just got to make them." Or put players in a better position to make them. Roushar blamed himself after MSU's loss at Notre Dame, and it will be interesting to get his take on Saturday's events. The disappointing thing for MSU is that its of fense seemed to be making such strides in wins over Michigan and Wisconsin.

It'll probably find things much easier at home in six days against Minnesota (though the Gophers looked like a real football team in stunning Iowa 22-21 on Saturday). Then comes a trip to Iowa City on Nov. 19, which may be the difference between winning and losing this division. Iowa looks feeble, but the Spartans must show up there with a real offense not the ghostly, ghastly thing they brought to Lincoln. Ask for details on all offers.
