Michigan State

Indiana had the pleasure of being slaughtered by Ohio State, scoring 10 points in the process.**In their other 3 games that they played, they are averaging 41 points, making you believe that their offense is actually decent.**That’s not the case. Before you get excited about the 34 points they scored on Ball State, you have to know that FCS Fordham scored 29 on Ball State and the Florida Atlantic Kiffins scored 41.**Their other win was against Eastern Illinois, an 0-4 FCS team that is averaging 5 points per game.**Finally, their crowning achievement is a 38-3 victory over UCONN.**That’s like Kamala the Ugandan Giant going off the top rope on that man Krueger, except that Indiana is not Kamala the Ugandan Giant.**They are more like Kamala Harris.*

Despite this powder puff schedule, Indiana has only been able to run the ball for 121 yards per game, and 3.5 yards per carry.**First of all, no one can run against Michigan State, who has only given up 52 yards per game and 1.7 yards per carry and are only giving up a total of 11 points per game.****You know what happens when you go on the road and can’t run the ball?**You lose.***Indiana will try to throw the ball, but they won’t be balanced which will lead to sacks or interceptions thrown.**Western Michigan has a strong passing attack and they only scored 17 on Sparty (while scoring 33 on Syracuse and 52 on Georgia State). Oh by the way, Indiana’s starting QB, Penix, has a bad shoulder and missed last game.**His status is questionable.**Also, Indiana’s best lineman, left tackle Coy Cronk wrecked his ankle last week and is out for the season.****Better check the backup QB’s pants for stains when he faces the Spartan defense, and I’m not talking about grass stains either.**I think it will be difficult for Indiana to score double digits, but we’ll generously say they get 10 points.

Sparty’s offense has not been bad at all.**They are averaging 400 yards per game and have already played and beaten a couple of good teams.****Their quarterback has only thrown one interception with 7 touchdowns.**Throw out the ASU game and the Spartans are averaging 37 points per game.***I’m only looking for them to score 28 against a soft defense and I get my cover.**I’m thinking even the defense will score on Saturday.**Laying the 14 points on Michigan State for 5 units.
