It's hard to gauge this game, IMHO - Michigan State really doesn't look intimidating, but then again, Kirk Ferentz brought the safest gameplan possible to East Lansing and it blew chunks really. So, I sit here and think to myself, "Is thatIowa or Michigan State?" and come to the conclusion that we should definitely be on guard....just in case it is MSU.

MSU's Super Bowl???
Shut the fuck up!
Maybe this game is their Rose Bowl, but it is not their Super Bowl because that is not a thing in coillege football.

It always is.
If Michigan under DG could put a huge scare into OSU, MSU can do the same to us. Especially given the question marks on offense.
I think we will roll, but wouldn't be shocked by a low scoring slug fest.

UMBig11 posted in another thread last night that Speight is likely out for 2-3 weeks.

This is a rivalry game with one of the teams having an extra week to prepare. The 17.5 point is a little rich considering Michigan's offensive woes and it being a rivaly. That said, I think our defense MAY pitch a shut out or at worst give up 10 pts. I can see us going 4 - 3 - 4 for most of game and really putting MSU in a lot of 3rd and longs. Lewerke will see a lot of Michigan D in his grille on every drop back. In short, the Michigan D should keep them under 200 yds. Don't think for a second that other B1G coaches didn't learn from the Purdue mis-direction plays. Expect to see a little trickeration from MSU which could lead to 1 TD.
If Okorn starts, Michigan should put up between 24 and 38 points. If Harbaugh is half the coach we think he is, we will have a game plan for 8 in box and a weak MSU secondary. This may be a coming out party for DPJ. I can see a couple of over the top TD's due to MSU cheating to stop run. Now, this is all predicated on the Okorn we seen against Purdue. If we get that Okorn, this game will not be that close by end of 3rd quarter.
There is so much going in the favor of Michigan. They take the rivalry very serious, so they will be focused. They have 1 extra week to prepare. They will be at home with a fan base who has been drinking for 7+ hours and the novelty of a night game so it will be loud. A defense that is scary good so lots of celebrating behind the MSU offensive line. Again, if Purdue Okorn shows up, this could turn into a comfortable win early into second half.

I don't know where that line came from but when vegas puts it out later today, I don't think it will be as high as 17.5.
October 1st, 2017 at 8:46 AM ^
I read on another blog that the EARLY Vegas line was 17.5 after the Purdue game.

MSU’s QB cant run on this UM defense. Not like Lewerke has last 4 games
But MSU will be high emotionally for this game. It is a less talented team. They will need help from Michigan to win.
And unfortunately Michigan’s offense is sloppy, behind and not crisp. The offense line of Michigan has to play better.

"our chances would improve if Speight were able start but just reported that he has 3 broken vertebrae and is finished."
