Jacksonville State was not supposed to be real opposition for Michigan State Friday night, and it wasn't. The Spartans got out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and pretty much coasted to a 45-7 win over the Gamecocks (wow--bad weekend to be a fan of Gamecocks). Glorified scrimmages like this are meant to help the marquee team work out the kinks.
The only thing that can make games like this bad for the marquee team is if someone vital to the team's success gets hurt.

In the end Cook only had one incompletion on the day completing 12 of 13 passes for 285 yards and three touchdowns.
