4.4 YPC 172 yards rushing 198 yards passing and 19 first downs.

Michigan State has a good offense, and their elite D is the exact type of D that Oregon often struggles against.

I predict a straight up Spartan Victory.

The current line is laughable. This Oregon team isn't good (at least by their standards).

MSU-31
Oregon-20

kind of dumb to extrapolate numbers from an FCS cupcake game that got out of reach early...

The line is too high.

MSU is not a team that gets blown out. Oregon has proven weak against physical teams in the past, even in Autzen.

Oregon's defense definitely will struggle to contain Langford and Cook.

Like MSU +pts but this smells like a trap and MSU might get steamed in Autzen Stadium

I'd feel great about the game if it wasn't in Autzen. Just dont know if our linebackers and secondary with be ready for such a test this early.

I disagree. While cupcake games never reveal how good a team is, they can reveal problems.

South Dakota had about 100 rushing yards in the 1st half.

And half of that came on one run.

And the score was 41-13 at halftime...

I just can't picture a scenario where this game isn't Stanford/Oregon esque... it seems like that exact same kind of matchup to me...

As much as i would love to see MSU beat the ducks I have a feeling the speed will kill them.

Key to MSU winning is running it down the Ducks throat.

I agree with you but I think MSU has more speed on offense and a superior defense to Stanford. They are a better version of Stanford.

I actually concur... Oregon is in trouble in this game, IMO.
