Offense: B+
Pass game was great but our offensive line could've done a better job blocking
Defense: D+
Run defense was okay but our secondary is god awful
Special teams: B+
Would've gotten an A had Breeding not shanked that punt. Regardless special teams should be very good for us this year. Holmes looked great on that return even though he was down

OFFENSE:
QB: B-
Marked improvement from Russell, but stared down receivers a bit too long, and didn't show much in the long ball game.
RB: A-
Perkins got everything he wanted except a big breakout. Robinson looks strong and mean.
TE: B+
The few times Green was targeted, he made fantastic catches.
WR: A-
Zero drops, and superglue gloves from our receiving core. Only complaint is that many of the catches were so impressive due to lack of separation.
OL: INC
Great push, gave the QB plenty of time, but our starters played so little that it's hard to really tell. Still not completely sold on Clausell at LT.
DEFENSE
DL: A
Deepest position on our team and it's not even close. Collapsed the pocket quickly no matter who we had in. Would have liked to see them get to the QB a bit more.
DE: B+
Autry stood out as a legitimate defensive playmaker. Nobody else caught my eye.
LB: C+
We used lots of combinations of linebackers at various positions, and playing the vanilla zone, we let far too many guys get open across the middle. Speed at this position may be lacking.
DB/S: INC
Would be easy to give a good grade based on 2 pick 6s, but our starters were never really thrown at. Hyped as one of the best secondaries in the country, but weren't able to prove it one way or the other, especially playing the soft zone.
SPECIAL TEAMS
K: D+
Still not able to hit a long FG or kick through the back of the endzone.
P: INC
Only 1 punt, but downed it nicely inside the 10.
RETURNS: C
Did not even attempt to play safe. One awesome catch on the run for about 50 yards from Bumphis, but 2 muffed catches that we were lucky to grab onto.
Overall Assessment:
Depth, depth, depth! Probably the deepest team at every position I've seen at MSU (not that that's saying much). Still some questions on the Oline and giving away so many completions across the middle could be of some concern. Most impressed with our receivers hands, and with all of our freshmen that got playing time.
