ES Preview: Big Green at Michigan

Michigan State Spartans (4-3, 2-2) at scUM (4-3, 2-2)

Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, MI.  

Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024. 4:30 pm. Big Ten Network


Sagarin Ratings: scUM #36, MSU #61

Weather: 48, clear skies.  Moony. 

Both teams have good defenses.  That's not the issue. 

Michigan can run the ball well but has three terrible quarterbacks.  As the saying goes, if you have three quarterbacks you don't have any.  Aidan Chiles played well for MSU - the best all year - in its win over Iowa.  It helped the Spartan offensive line was excellent pushing around Iowa last week.  That win over Iowa last week was a big surprise because of how the Spartans controlled the clock and dictated the game with a very strong running game, sprinkled with an efficient Chiles throwing the ball.  The Spartan defense was a wall for most of the game, and that stout effort was impressive.  

Bring on Michigan.  If we hit Iowa in the mouth, then we need to decapitate Michigan. 

Prognostications: 

Pontiac Keith, MSU 21-20

Big Bob, scUM 17-16

Pittsburgh Sloth: MSU 2, Fuck Michigan 0

J Dog: UM Gets Bitch Slapped!, MSU 28-0
