Biggest Challenge between BG and Mich
This might even merit a vBet, but who will give us our closest game between now and the Michigan game?
Last year we played these same five teams in the same sequence after we lost to PSU (with the locales reversed of course)
2005: MSU 35-24
No Ringer and no Coach to speak of? Unless they fire JL after this Saturday no way MSU hangs tough.
2005: @IU 41-10
Same-o, same-o. Yawn.
2005: @Minn 45-31
I had forgotten the kind of game they gave us last year. Can you believe anybody hung 578 yards on AJ Hawks D? Can you imagine anyone doing it this year? This could be a payback game for our D.
2005: Ill 40-2
Never would have thought this coming into the year, but this one gets my vote for the toughest. There may be more to their playing Iowa and MSU tough than those teams looking ahead. Juice is getting better every week and they did bring in some talent this year that could be ready to contribute. God forbid TV turns it into another night game.
2005: NU 48-7
Fitzgerald will win some games down the road. Not this year. And this late in the season what little talent they have will be pretty banged up - especially after back to back games at Michigan and at Iowa.

I'm going with Jekyl and Hyde, better known as MSU. You never know what they are going to bring, besides a coach without a clue.

With the biggest weakness seeming to be rush D, I'll go with Minnesota.

Yeah but I doubt Minny will have a back like Maroney in the backfield this year (not sure exactly who their starter is, wasn't the heir apparent ineligable or something?) and they lost their all-everything center, plus it's in the Shoe. I'm not so worried about Minny. I guess my vote goes to Sparty, but then again they could fall apart and it could be a total blowout, you never know.

It's always harder to win on the road, so I would go with MSU. However, there's no way in the world that they'll beat scUM this weekend, so they will have lost 3 in a row coming into our game. Accordingly, I think Minnesota will be the tougher game. They hung pretty tough with scUM, although that game was at the Metrodome.

Michigan State seems to always play us tough.
