Getting back to passing game, hogan went 7.9 YPA -- which is solid in most contexts but excellent considering MSU's 5.6 YPA surrendered in conference play. But that reflected superior Stanford explosiveness -- it's genuinely impressive that Stanford was able to get so many explosive plays against a strong defense. However Hogan throwing was effectively a coin flip in terms of completion percentage at 10/18.

Think of the passing game as overall stronger but with exact opposite weaknesses as last year. Last year it was efficient but not explosive. This year, explosive but not efficient. With an experienced returning receiving corps and redshirt junior Hogan returning, the pressure is on the passing game to be explosive, efficient and effective.
