Noon Game Thread
Our first and second most important rivals face off in Champaign (ABC) and then our fifth most important rival hosts the Turrible Terps (ESPN2).
Just from a curiosity standpoint perhaps the widest line I can recall seeing btw 2 teams from the same P5 conf is today where TCU is favored by 45 over the smoldering remains of Charlie Weiss (FS1). Who is still getting paid!
For those who hate their eyeballs, I present to you the BTN game with Purdue traveling to NW. The Flailing Narduzzis travel to Duke in a game there can be no winners on ESPNU. Whodda thunk GA v Auburn would be a meaningless Nov game back in August? (CBS)

Beat MSU twice.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:03 PM ^
Same ref crew from last week? (Crossing fingers)
November 14th, 2015 at 12:01 PM ^
We want osu to win to help avoid a 3-way tie scenario, right?
November 14th, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
Only time I want OSU to win is beating STAEE
November 14th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
But if they lose today it makes it less likely that we can win the conference
November 14th, 2015 at 12:15 PM ^
As long as we win out and MSU loses once more than we are guarenteed the division. Ohio State could lose every remaining game of theirs and we'd still be above a two conference loss MSU.
That being said, if we want a longshot chance at going to the CFP, then we probably need to beat undefeated OSU and Iowa.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:17 PM ^
Ohio State needs to beat MSU for us. It doesn't matter if Illinois beats them.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:24 PM ^
Not true. MSU has to lose again. Doesn't have to be at the hands of OSU, although that seems like the best bet.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:16 PM ^
msu has to lose again, we have to win out and if osu's only loss is us that's fine. So, oddly, we need osu to beat msu unless msu drops another in other two games. What osu does outside of msu is irrelevant unless it's losing out (lol) and msu loses today or the final week. Just take the easiest road and think of it as we need to win out and osu beat msu.

Fire up terps! Or something
November 14th, 2015 at 12:05 PM ^
MSU kicking to Will Likely might lead to a lot of Terp like things. But that is about all MD usually can do sadly.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:05 PM ^
Nothing like seeing OSU and Illinois play for that Illibuck turtle thing.
So many teams tried to recreate the little brown jug and failed miserably. The jug was part of an actual Michigan/Minnesota game over 100 years ago. The rest of these "trophy games' were invented from random crap that has nothing to do with anything.

Illibuck is fairly old I thought. And was a real turtle at one point right?
Obviously no jug by any means, but there are worse trophies out there.

Quick Wikipedia check says that it was a really turtle back in 1925. Not a bad history.

Cook lit up!
So much pressure not being picked up. Love this!
November 14th, 2015 at 12:06 PM ^
Love seeing Conklin beat by a NFL DE.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:06 PM ^
MD getting pressure early.
KICK TO WILL LIKELY
November 14th, 2015 at 12:07 PM ^
Has anyone decommitted for MSU after seeing the 1st drive?
November 14th, 2015 at 12:10 PM ^
We should be on standbye. Maybe a thread ready to go???
November 14th, 2015 at 12:08 PM ^
Florida's offense is pitiful. All those athletes yet no production. I think both FSU and the SEC West champ pound them.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:08 PM ^
LOL everyone can throw deep on MSU. Damn why didnt we.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
Spartan Stadium is like cathedral quiet right now..
November 14th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
Clear interference. They could just keep calling that same play over and over. Probably their only chance outside of speedy Will.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:10 PM ^
Dantonio is back to selling souls - MD fumble.
Or MD could just be horrid.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:11 PM ^
I've got FS1 on one screen here - it's very kind of them to try and find positive things to say about Kansas. You would think that they'd figure in "You Had One Job" more over at ESPN, but even they shy away from easy pickings.
Meanwhile, Michigan Sate starting early with the defensive PI gifting, and then a little offside call for good measure. Of course, Maryland will have none of this good field position and promptly coughs it up - MSU ball.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:11 PM ^
Terps gonna terp
November 14th, 2015 at 12:11 PM ^
but MSU is going to roll Maryland today.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:13 PM ^
Hope you're wrong, but know you're right.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:14 PM ^
Sounds like a home game for osu after Elliot just ran...we can't let that happen this year. Hold your tickets or make sure then end up in the hands of the good guys!
November 14th, 2015 at 12:21 PM ^
I noticed that. The inbreds have already taken over the stadium.

Barrett must have done his restitution, he's starting for OSU
November 14th, 2015 at 12:16 PM ^
He had a fine, 6 months no license and has to take a class. Note that he DID NOT have to move in with his grandma.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:22 PM ^
From the school: Suspended for the Minnesota game, mandatory counseling, and loss of summer scholarship (~$6,600)
From the law: $400 fine, license suspended for 6 months, alcohol education classes (which JT will have to pay for as well) and court fees
November 14th, 2015 at 12:52 PM ^
November 14th, 2015 at 12:15 PM ^
JT Barrett drunk driving his offense down the field.
November 14th, 2015 at 12:15 PM ^
Must be a huge game for MSU - they are wearing their baylor unis
