Not to mention that one unlucky play cost them a game against Arky
And against Tennessee, too.
The thing about Mullen (and don't take offense, WDE24) is that his play calling by the goal-line cost MSU the game against AU. Had he called a run/pass option play to the player's strong side (right) then the QB could have either a) scored, b) completed a pass for a score, or c) thrown the ball away giving MSU another down to try to win.
And FWIW, Mullen is NOT particularly well thought of in coaching circles.

Yeah, that Urban Meyers really thought he was a shite coach.

Only if they had gone for and converted a two point play. You re stretching it by saying for the win.
