DTN Management Co., once the potential developer of East Lansing's Park District project, has withdrawn its proposal for the development of downtown East Lansing.
When No. 8 MSU (7-1 overall, 4-0 Big Ten) started the season, they thought when they played No. 13 Ohio State (7-1 overall, 4-0 Big Ten) it would be for the east division championship, and they would have to go through sophomore sensation quarterback Braxton Miller. Miller went down with an injury before the season, but according to junior linebacker Taiwan Jones, freshman starter J.T. Barrett may present a larger problem than Miller. “I feel like with this offense, Barrett works better in this offense,” Jones said. “I feel like he has a better arm, he’s a way better quarterback than Braxton.” Barrett has thrown for 1,856 yards with 23 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season. Jones said the offense under Barrett is not very different schematically with Barrett running it. “They tried to make it a little simpler for Barrett at the beginning, but he’s picking it up a lot more now,” he said. “Guys had to step up, so it’s a little different but it’s the same thing we’ve been seeing the last three years we’ve been playing them.” Jones said while Miller is the more mobile quarterback, Barrett fits OSU head coach Urban Meyer’s offense like Tim Tebow did when Meyer was down at Florida. “As an athlete I feel like Miller was better,” he said. “But to fit in that offense I think he fits like Tebow did in Florida. He controls the game better.”

DETROIT — A familiar face will be behind the desk at Michigan’s Capitol Building for the next four years.
DETROIT — The party was over before it even began at the MGM Grand Detroit Casino Tuesday, where Democratic candidate for Governor and MSU alumnus Mark Schauer was announced the loser of the election by major news outlets well before he took the stage. After a race that was deemed too close to call in days prior, Democratic candidate for Governor and MSU alumnus Mark Schauer lost to incumbent Governor Rick Snyder and gave a somber speech following the loss.

For all of his career, senior defensive end Marcus Rush has lived in the shadows of the guy opposite of him. Whether it be five star All-American recruit William Gholston or NFL first round projection junior defensive end Shilique Calhoun, Rush has always flew under the radar earning the title “silent but deadly” by one teammate. Regardless of not receiving as much attention from national and local media as his teammates, Rush has built a resume at MSU that some would consider untouchable.

In East Lansing, no one needs to ask who the main rival of No. 7 MSU (7-1 overall, 4-0 Big Ten) is. Michigan is the clear rival, and the same thing can be said about MSU’s opponent this week in No. 13 Ohio State (7-1 overall, 4-0 Big Ten), as the Buckeyes have a hatred as old as time for Michigan.
