This weekend marks the key college football game that I have been looking foward to since ..... April, Michigan State vs Michigan. Both teams are undefeated with Michigan State being ranked #17 in the Associated Press Poll and # 16 in the USA Today's Coaches' Poll and Michigan is ranked #18 in the AP Poll and #17 in the Coaches' Poll. This is going to be a game and a half! I am very confident with my Spartan team and I really believe that the defense can stop Denard Robinson. Michigan's defense is among the worst in the country and the Spartans will put up some big yards and score a lot of points. The only part of Michigan's game that worries me is the passing game. MSU's secondary has not really been tested this year yet. Dane Crist made them look bad when Notre Dame came into town, but hopefully that was a wake up call.
Michigan State's defense has already recorded six interceptions this year, this matches ALL of last year. Two of the interceptions came at the hands of Greg Jones. If you have not seen him play you should (even though I only know of one person who reads my blogs and he saw Greg Jones personally (Hi Kyle)). The run defense has only allowed 3 rushing touchdowns this year. Last week, the MSU defense held John Clay under 100 yards rushing for the first time in 15 games for him.
Michigan State's offense features Kirk Cousins at quarterback, this guy is a very good player. He has completed a little over 60% of his passes and has thrown only 4 interception. The offensive line has been giving him plenty of time to make plays. Le'veon Bell is a GREAT freshman running back who has been gaining yards in tons, he has 7 TDs this season already. Edwin Baker is another running back who is averaging about the same stats with Bell. The receivers have been amazing also, B.J. Cunningham, Charlie Gantt, Mark Dell, ect. One of those receivers is Keshawn Martin who can make plays at any position. Throughout his career he has scored touchdowns by reception, rushing, punt return, kickoff return and one other way that I cannot think of right now.
Know as I finish up saying the reasons why I think Michigan State will win I want to leave with a video of a play that gave Michigan State momentum up to this very day.

Hi Jason. I am pretty sure I don't need to watch this video to know what it is. Quite the memorable ending to a close game.
ReplyDeleteThis Saturday will definitely be one to watch. I really wouldn't be so quick to call this one though. Michigan has a lot going for them right now and State has not really improved too dramatically.
