Even though the final score might say otherwise, Penn State was thoroughly outplayed by Ohio State last week on the road in the Nittany Lions' 519-283 in yards and defeat. Penn State was unable to get consistent yardage on the ground. I think they'll have a hard time getting up for this game at Michigan State who is ahead of schedule and this young developing group will be a serious factor in the Big Ten over the coming years. Michigan Stat stands 6-2 overall, 4-1 in the Big Ten, and the Spartans still control their own destiny to the Big Ten title game. QB Brian Lewerke has added a dimension to the offense with his running ability, but the Spartans have built their success this season on defense. We like Michigan State to keep things interesting as they go on to cover the spread.
