FWIW, UM rushed for over 2300 yards last year. If you get 1000 yards from the RBs total, you need 1300 yards rushing for Gardner . . . . or if he runs for 500 (remember, he averaged 2.1 YPC in 5 starts) he'd need to throw for a total of 3400 yards (2600 = last year's passing total + the extra 800 yards), which I think would be close to the single season UM passing record.
Again, that's just to hit last year's 383 yards/game. If you want to hit 400 YPG on O, you need 5200 total yards of O for a 13 game season (assuming bowl game). 425 yards/game = 5525 yards of O . . . and that ranks you 47th nationally.
To be a top 25 O, you'd need to hit around 462 yards/game, or 6,006 total yards of O.
Note: I am fully aware that MSU is going to struggle to hit 300 YPG on O

Yes, but look at the sharp increase in passing production we had when Gardner took over for three games. We will be more balanced next year. It's not unreasonable to expect us to have two or three RBs with 1,500+ yards rushing along with an extra 1,000+ yards passing over what we had this year. But we will have to wait and see. It would be like me asking you where you are going to get your production next year. It's pure speculation at this point. Do you know yet even if Bell and Sims will be back?
Exactly this is all speculation at this point. We got 8 months before we get to find out.
I miss football season already.

Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

FWIW, there were 11 rushers with 1500 yards this year, none for the same team. Getting 3K yards from 2 RBs alone is almost unheard of; Wisky did it with Ball, Clay and White back in 2010, IIRC, and they had between 900 and 1100 each.
Nevada hit 3000 yards rushing with 2 guys, but 1 was the QB.
Right now I don't think Bell or Sims are coming back. As I said, MSU will struggle to hit 300 YPG of total O.

No, no, no. I mean 1,500+ rushing yards total from 2-3 RBs. And probably another 300-400 from Gardner. Go back and look at OSU's numbers from the TP years. My expectation is we will look something like that over the next two seasons. But why are you so fixated on this? It's Jan 2. We haven't even made it through NFL announcements or Spring ball yet and you want a precise prediction of rushing and passing yards by player for 2013? The rushing yards will shift mostly to the RBs and the passing yards will increase. Beyond that, I can't give you anything more on Jan 2.
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

We'd like to look more like Stanford/Alabama/Wisconsin. But it's not just a matter of having the right QB. You need the other pieces too. When RR was fired, we had few if any elite WRs, TEs, FBs and RBs on the roster. And we were dangerously thin at OL. We signed a bunch of talented players in 2012 and are on track to do the same in 2013, but those players are young and need time to develop. IMO it will take until at least 2014 to be fully transitioned.

After you nancies stop screaming at me for what I just said, let me ask you a straight up question:
Do you think Michigan played better in defeat against South Carolina, and was it a better game, then what they did in victory against Va. Tech last year?
