Ric Flair Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'm thinking this will be a low scoring slugfest that we likely lose in a close one. But if our QBs start turning the ball over, it could get ugly. No. 14 Michigan State 34, Nebraska 7 Michigan State's conservative, ball-control offense does not lend itself to blowouts, but this is a mismatch. The Spartans' historically dominant defense (210.2 yards per game) will feast on Nebraska quarterbacks Tommy Armstrong and Ron Kellogg III, while Michigan State will run all day on the Huskers' defense. The only question is whether Mark Dantonio will allow quarterback Connor Cook to throw downfield. http://sportsillustr...koff/?eref=sihp Quote Link to comment

He's been convinced of how awful NU's defense is for much of the season. Probably won't change his tune without a big defensive performance against OSU or another team team with a good offense.

Comish Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 While I can certainly see us losing...........no way that we are blown out by that offense.......... Quote Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 So the last 4 years in a row when my dad has come up to visit me during a husker game, they have lost. UCLA-2012 Michigan-2011 Texas-2010 Texas Tech-2009 Needless to say I was a little nervous about him coming up this weekend. Turns out my mom has the flu so they are not going to make the trip. So we now have nothing to worry about. 9 Quote Link to comment

The reason he doesn't change his opinion often is b/c he's an idiot. He forms an opinion early on in the year after watching teams and then doesn't watch any more of their games to see if they have progressed. He only goes by first impressions. Quote Link to comment

tschu Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Would a 34-7 final shock any of you? Certainly wouldn't shock me. Michigan State is only 2 points worse than UCLA Sagarin and we know how that game turned out. Our defense is inconsistent and our offense has roughly 7,000 injuries. We could certainly win, and we might certainly get blown out. 1 Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I don't think MSU has the offensive firepower to hang 34 on us, it's not like they have a world beater at QB or RB. imo. Quote Link to comment
