| LAKE THE POSTS! Not on Saturday, and it ain't two miles to Lake Michigan from EL. That's 100 miles to carry goalposts. Not gonna happen. |
October 6, 2018. 12 noon. FS1.
Weather: 74, scattered thunderstorms.
Sagarin Ratings: MSU #24, Northwestern #55.
Line: MSU favored by 10 1/2
So, the ES was in a diatribe with C and C out on the west coast, diagnosing the Spartans' issues through four games. Here how it went:
- Carter: "They are mediocre..."
- C Hock: "Their (MSU) run D is unbelievably good. I can play QB for the Spartans and get 6 or 7 wins. Hell, I could probably have a better TD to Int/turnover ratio than our starting QB as well. "
- ES: "C - agreed. MSU run defense is a brick wall. Should be a concern with our banged up secondary against NW slant-pass offense (as usual). MSU offense is seriously underperforming, courtesy of injuries and Dave Warner. Two starting receivers out with injury. Doesn't help our All-American punter is out with injury, too. We are far from a complete team, but we've got talent."
- C Hock: "Lewerke's turnovers and bad decisions and bad penalties in the red zone during worse than play calling IMO"
- ES: "C - agreed to some extent. Lewerke is trying too hard because their is no run game, and OLine help is rough. He needs to back off a bit."
- Kat: MSU 27-21.
- Sloth: MSU 17-10. I will go with 17-10 MSU. NU is terrible on offense, but so is MSU. Warner needs to dial up a lot of runs, especially with White out with the broken hand. Should be a slobberknocker and hard-hitting as hell.
- Carter: MSU 27-21. NW played a very good game against UM - this is a tough one...it will be close...our best receiver out with a broken hand...I am going MSU - hope the running game blossoms.
- C Hock: MSU 38-35.
- Paul Anders: MSU 45-0.
- Ronnie Maxedon: NW 34-21
- Poke: MSU 31-24
- Jack: NW 17-2
- Chef Tom: Northwestern -1.5
- RGM3: MSU 38-17 MSU. Probably a lot closer but one can hope
- Feather: MSU 27-24
- Big Joe and Phantom 309: MSU 10-6
- Paul Rinella: MSU has a tough one
- David Russell Havens: NU really made U of M look like a Rutgers team last week, up until the last half of a quarter. Hate to say it but MSU’s gonna have a tougher time than we’d hope. It’s gonna come down to penalties
- Gregger: MSU 24-17
ES Sez: Bring your poncho, wear your shorts. Warm, and wet. MSU pulls out a win in the end in an ugly drubber. MSU 17, Northwestern 13.
