Michigan State Spartans (3-6, 1-5) at #1 Ohio State  (9-0, 6-0)
November 11, 2023.  7:30 pm ET.
Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OH

Weather: 42, clear skies.  No wind.
TV:  NBC

Sagarin Ratings: MSU #75, OSU #2
Line outta Vegas:  OSU by 31.5.  Yup, that's a 5+ TD favorite

We won!  Yup, the Spartoonies limited their turnovers vs Nebraska, collected some turnovers, and hung on late to win 20-17.  It is now officially NOT the worst season for MSU in 100 years.  Whew. 

Unfortunately, now we travel to face #1 Ohio State... in Columbus.  Gulp.

Not much to write about here - a complete and utter mismatch, and the Buckeyes should clean up.  It was hopeful that Rutgers (who MSU shoulda beat) hung on for some time last week against OSU... but that was in New Jersey.  In Ohio, with a struggling Spartan team facing the top team in the land.  MSU's defense is the lone bright spot this year.  But, ya gotta score.  The offense has been horrific.  MSU is playing better than earlier in the year... but against #1 OSU: this ain't Nebraska, Rutgers, or Minnesoter. This is a juggernaut. Not much chance in this one. Don't think I have ever in my life seen 98% on ESPN's matchup predictor...
