You do realize that MSU has ONLY givin up like 500 yards rushing the WHOLE SEASON!!!!!!

i realize they are a really good defense, but they didn't play Wisky or OSU, who have the dominant running games in the B1G. I mean I don't think it is Sparty's D that lets them down in this game. I think their offense can't consistently move the ball (unless they do these throwback screens that OSU loves to overpursue on), and that puts them into a lot of bad situations on D. I think OSU has about 225 yards on the ground, which is WELL below their average, but that is enough with a couple of short fields to open the margin

It's the national perception that Mich St will be a very good test for tOSU
