East Lansing � The chemistry between the offense and defense is going well up at Michigan State.
The question is, how long will it last when offensive players can�t hold their end of the bargain?
What happens when the defense wears down during the second half of a big game because the offense can�t stay on the field long enough or score some points?
That is when family can become fractured.
Linebacker Denicos Allen insists there is no anger or angst against offensive players, although he admits there is a bit of frustration. So far, the Spartans defense has outscored the offense, 28-19, during two cream-puff, nonconference victories. MSU is 2-0, but both of its opponents are 0-2 and lost a game to a Football Championship Subdivision program.
Michigan State ranks 111th among 123 Division I programs in total offense (281.0 yards per game) and 119th in passer rating (76.46).
And, oh, by the way, the defense ranks fourth nationally (179.5 yards per game).
�We have a championship defense. We have to raise our level on offense,� coach Mark Dantonio said. �We are not shooting for 7-6. We need a spark to light the flame.�
Dantonio is right. MSU has a championship defense. It is one that can beat Michigan and Notre Dame � for 30 minutes. But it can�t hold up to their firepower for 60 minutes without more assistance from the offense.
Any QB want to step up?
If the flame is not lit by Notre Dame in two weeks, this whole thing could implode. There were grumblings among defensive players last season. They won�t be able to bite their lips for another 13 games if things do not get better.
But Allen said that is what the Spartans plan to do.
They love playing defense, whether it is for six minutes or 60 minutes.
�If the offense is slacking, we pick up for them,� Allen said. �That is what we�ve been doing the past few years. We never get negative about it. We stay positive. We love being out on the field. We actually kind of like it. Hopefully, they will get better which we know they will because this is the kind of offense they are. They are like we won�t accept this.�
The defense must accept this quarterback rollercoaster because that is how team sports work. The coaching staff should get most of the blame for failing to develop a competent starting quarterback out of Andrew Maxwell, Connor Cook and Tyler O�Connor. Of course, you must throw in the poor play of the wide receivers who drop too many balls. But the Spartans mixed it up during a 21-6 victory over South Florida, and receivers held onto the ball.
The problem is, the Spartans failed to recruit an 8-foot receiver, and most of the passes fall harmlessly to the ground.
Defense can't do it alone
Meanwhile, the only way for the Spartans to win is through defense. It simply can�t stop people. It must score. Sophomore defensive end Shilique Calhoun was named Big Ten and national defensive player of the week after he took a fumble recovery and interception into the end zone. He buys into that Spartan mentality � to crush, destroy and score. But defenses can�t be counted on to score every game.
�It is definitely a mentality,� Allen said. �Instead of making tackles, we got to think big play with the team being the way it is. We know we got to step up and do a lot of turnovers. That is what we have been working on all summer.�
I asked Allen if this defense needed to keep making big plays in order to win games.
�Big plays win games,� he said. �So, yes. If we make big plays, we obviously win the game.�
The road gets rocky after Saturday�s home game against Youngstown State. Road trips to Notre Dame and Iowa are next on the agenda. And this type of football won�t cut it in those games. Later, there are games against Michigan, Nebraska and Northwestern. They all look like losses unless the Spartans can get some spark in this sputtering offense.
Allen insists he will embrace what lies ahead rather than gnash his teeth. He is ready, willing and able.
�It is up to us to keep playing and making big plays,� he said. �Everybody wants to make big plays. Our defense is strong. We carry this team and we do a good job for us. It doesn�t matter what people say about the offense. They need to look at the positives and look at how good we�ve been.�

Office of Disciplinary Counsel
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") is an Arm of the Supreme Court of Delaware, which assists the Court in regulating the practice of law. In this capacity, the ODC is charged with evaluating, investigating, and, if warranted, prosecuting lawyer misconduct. All complaints regarding a Delaware lawyer's conduct should be directed to the ODC. (To obtain a Complaint form, click here). With respect to lawyers who have been disbarred or suspended, contact can be made with the Receiver appointed by the Court of Chancery. (For Receivers and Other Contacts for Closed Practices, please click here.)
The primary purpose of the ODC is to protect the public from lawyer misconduct. Delaware lawyers are obligated to conform their conduct to rules established by the Supreme Court of Delaware, the Delaware Lawyers' Rules of Professional Conduct. Each complaint filed with the ODC is reviewed and evaluated to determine whether the lawyer has violated one or more of these Rules and whether the ODC has enough evidence to prosecute a disciplinary action against the lawyer. All complaints are confidential as mandated by the Delaware Lawyers' Rules of Disciplinary Procedure.
The ODC is also responsible for evaluating complaints concerning the unauthorized practice of law in Delaware. If warranted, after evaluation and investigation, the ODC is responsible for prosecuting individuals who engage in the unauthorized practice of law in this State.

Beginning with version 9.0, PC-BSD® provides a Control Panel which contains tools for managing your system. The Control Panel is available from any desktop, meaning it is available regardless of which desktop you log into.
If using an unsupported desktop that does not contain an icon or menu item for Control Panel, simply type pc-controlpanel from a shell prompt as an alternate method to launch the Control Panel. An open Control Panel window can be seen in Figure 8.a.
The search box in the upper right will help to find the proper control panel item to use if you know what you would like to configure but are uncertain which one would handle it.
Any icon that includes a yellow exclamation mark, will prompt for the superuser password in order to access that configuration utility.
Desktop Selector
Control Panel includes a desktop selector drop-down menu which allows you to view the configuration utilities from KDE3 and 4, GNOME2, XFCE3 and 4, or LXDE. Figure 8.b shows the desktop selector menu in use. In this example, the user is currently logged into the LXDE desktop but they have chosen to view the GNOME utilities. The icon will relate to the control panel view, while "(current)" will be beside the desktop that is presently active. If any other desktop were active, then "Unsupported DE (current)" would be shown. The icon used for unsupported desktops, when at least one is installed, looks like a window with a red 'X' on the lower left corner.
Switching between the icons in the selector changes the icons displayed within the control panel window to match those used in that desktop. If "All" is set by the desktop selector, you will see every utility that is available, depending upon which desktops are currently installed. You can change which desktops are installed by using System Manager.
This section demonstrates how to use the following utilities which are found in the Control Panel of a PC-BSD® system, regardless of the desktop that is installed:
- Software and updates
- Systemverwaltung
- Hardware
- Netzwerk
- Werkzeuge

Chicago -- Gradually, dutifully, opponents seem to be figuring out Michigan. So now here the Wolverines sit, staring at the next step: Figuring themselves out.
If Michigan came to the Big Ten tournament to unravel its own mysteries, that didn't work out so well. There's no mystery about the misery that is Wisconsin. And after the Badgers alternately blundered and blistered in a 68-59 victory Friday, the Wolverines headed home still confounding, capable of winning games, not trusted to win the big ones.
Two things remain blatantly obvious about the Wolverines, 26-7 and probably still a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They don't play consistently good defense, especially in the interior. And they have an incredible game-changer in Trey Burke.
The problem is, Burke can't do it all, even when it appears he can. With the Wolverines trailing by 11 with six minutes left, Burke took over, driving for baskets, hitting jumpers, and suddenly, Wisconsin's lead was 56-54. And then, poof, the rally ended in another flurry of Wisconsin layups and free throws.
And the point was apparent again, that for all Burke's terrific ability, he can take a team only so far. He didn't shoot well but scored 19 points after tallying 21 in the opening win against Penn State. More startling, Michigan had seven total assists against Wisconsin, and all seven were by Burke.
"I try not to go into a game thinking that way (about taking over), but when we were down nine or 10 with four minutes left, I felt I needed to make plays, because the offense was stagnating," Burke said. "It's definitely still a balance I'm trying to find. My intentions are to get people going, but when the teams are pretty much hugging the perimeter to stop us, my shot in the paint is usually there. That's pretty much every team's scouting report, try to stop the pick and roll."
Opponents force the big men to roll, while maniacally denying open three-pointers. The Wolverines didn't hit one until deep in the second half, and were three-for-13.
Nobody can ugly up a game like Bo Ryan and Wisconsin, but Michigan has become a relatively easy team to ugly up. For all the gaudy numbers generated by John Beilein's offense, it's hard for Michigan to get going against physical, defensive teams such as Wisconsin and Michigan State.
It can get occasionally frustrating for Burke, the Big Ten scoring champ and Player of the Year. This likely is his last run before heading to the NBA, and he has to push, push, push young teammates probably faster than they can go. Jordan Morgan looks lost in the post right now, and had zero points and three turnovers in eight minutes against the Badgers.
Mitch McGary has added an emotional spark, and that has to continue. But he's a freshman, along with Glenn Robinson III and Nik Stauskas, and the big moments still buckle them. Robinson missed all four of his free throws and Stauskas was one-for-eight from the field.
"It's just one game and we know this game has nothing to do with the NCAA Tournament," Stauskas said. "It's a fresh start for us, and we have to emphasize our defense. It's all about finding a way to make it work."
Now 33 games into the season, the Wolverines are still hunting for the proper balance. As Wisconsin showed with 61-percent shooting in the second half, Michigan's defense won't win many games by itself. The Wolverines were slow in their rotations, leaving Badgers open everywhere.
And when the defense breaks, it's back to Burke.
"Sometimes we become a little too dependent on him," Stauskas said. "He did a good job and brought us back late. But sometimes we kind of stand around and watch him off the dribble."
It's a natural reaction. It's just difficult to count so profoundly on one guy, especially when a balanced team like Wisconsin works its inside-outside pattern and gets wide-open three-pointers for big fellas like Mike Bruesewitz.
Michigan doesn't have the inside game to open up the outside, unless Burke creates something for Tim Hardaway Jr. or someone else.
"I think teams are catching onto it, but we're so talented, we're still able to get open shots," Burke said. "People's opinion might be that we're not physical, but they still have to guard us. And I think we're much more physical than we were at the beginning of the year."
They still rely heavily on outside shooting, a dangerous way to play in the Tournament. Burke is the stirring constant, scoring at least 15 points in every Big Ten game. Most of the time, the points are needed because the Wolverines' defense is hardly smothering. It's partly a lack of size and experience, but the plain truth is, they're running out of time to figure it out.
