I went with TSUN...

Poor MSU. Jeez. Two opportunities to clinch the bowl game. They just had to beat a lowly Northwestern team coming off of two beatdowns from OSU and MSU, or beat a reeling Iowa team. Instead, all they served to do is give life to those teams.

I'm thinking Mike does well against MSU so far. I'm also thinking he continues it with a 200+ yard game this weekend.

Considering MSU's run defense I think you may be onto something. The let Iowa back into the game via run, Beanie just ate them up, so even if Hart only plays a half I think he'll get a good ammount of yards.

That being said, MSU will be fired up but I don't know if that will help them very much, they need a good victory to complete their season, I just don't think they are going to get it on Saturday.

OSU fans couldn't ask for anything more than Hart and his ankle getting 30+ touches a game the next two weeks.

Forgive me, but that's what people said about Minnesota, Purdue, Illinois, and Northwestern.

True - I think it is the rush ends that will give Henne some difficulties.

And their running game

I think Saint-Dic plays Long's side. So at least there, I'm not as worried.

But honestly....I'm as confident as ever about this game, and it doesn't have anything to do with matchups on the field. MSU just hasn't proven they're anything but the old MSU. These are the same Spartans that choked away a big lead in the 2004 game. Same Spartans that were the butt of jokes for being Central Michigan's bitch for a few years. Same Spartans that my own dear old grandmother laughed at for wearing uniforms that looked like a style of dress her mother used to wear. Might not be the same players inside the uniforms, but they wear the same stripes.

I'm not saying this as the arrogant Michigan fan, either....State fans will tell you the same thing. Believe it or not, some of them want to fire Dantonio already, and he hasn't even lost to Michigan yet, nor has he smacked himself at a press conference.
