Michigan State (4-6) vs. Rutgers (2-8) Game Preview

Why Michigan State Will Win

Michigan State is going to try.

It might be a little bit different if the Spartans were 7-3 and playing out the string of the regular season before going off to a bowl, but they’re 4-6 with an ugly, ugly five-game losing streak.

The offense has gone bye-bye against the good teams – scoring ten points or fewer in the blowout losses to Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan.

Now it’s time to have a little fun.

As bad as the Rutgers offense is, the defense is almost as miserable. It’s not generating a lick of pressure into the backfield, the secondary can get dinked and dunked on to death, and MSU should be able to mix it up to do whatever it wants to.

Considering fourth quarter collapse in the loss to Illinois a few weeks ago, the Spartans are going to keep their foot on the gas.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Rutgers Will Win

Maybe the Michigan State offense is just that bad.

It’s been inconsistent at best, it’s not getting enough pop from the passing game that’s all over the place, and there’s no running game to fall back on.

Again, playing some of the best teams in college football has had something to do with it, but the running game has fallen off the map. It rumbled over Illinois for 275 yards and three scores, but that’s been about it for the production on the ground since the win over Western Michigan in early September.

Michigan State might be able put up a ton of yards, but can it go on long, sustained marches?

The punting game is one of the things that’s going right for Rutgers. Senior Adam Korsak is getting plenty of opportunities, and he’s blasting away for close to 44 yards per kick. If he can somehow keep the Spartans pinned deep, there’s a shot for several drives – MSU is miserable on third downs – to simply fizzle out.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

Michigan State will go off, and then it’ll show mercy.

It needs to win this week and beat Maryland to close out the regular season and get bowl eligible. After all of the misery and pain since the 4-1 start, the Spartans will finally be able to exhale.

Michigan (8-2) vs. Indiana (7-3) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Indiana Will Win

Yeah, Indiana is just that good, and it’s starting with a solid season from the offensive line.

It’s doing a great job in pass protection, it’s getting just enough out of the running game when needed to be fine – even if the overall stats aren’t great – and this is a sharp, good passing game that’s getting strong performances no matter who’s under center.

Peyton Ramsey isn’t going to earn any all-star honors, but he’s been able to step up when Michael Penix went down, hitting 73% of his passes on the year with a whole lot of big plays and few mistakes.

He hit Nebraska for 351 yards, and pushed Penn State for 371 last week – the IU offense is going to keep on coming. Michigan will have to play a full four quarters, because this Hoosier attack can go on a run.

The IU defense might not be anything amazing, but it’s getting help from an offense that’s controlling the clock and keeping the chains moving. It’ll get hammered by the physical Michigan offensive front, but it should be relatively fresh in the second half.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Michigan Will Win

The Michigan defense has stepped it up and it’s shutting everything down.

For the last 14 quarters after halftime against Penn State, the Wolverines have  been nasty on both sides of the ball, working around a run defense that’s allowing fewer than three yards per carry and has learned everything up since getting hammered by Wisconsin.

The Wolverines allowed 559 yards and eight rushing scores to the Badgers and Army, and 509 rushing yards in the other eight games. Stevie Scott is an excellent, tough back who’ll pound out the hard yards, but even though IU is able to run well enough in key situations, it’s averaging under three yards per carry over the last few games and only went for over 200 yards against Rutgers.

It’s about to get stuffed by the Wolverine defensive front.

On the other side, Shea Patterson is coming off one of his best games with the program.

He completed 73% of his throws for 384 yards and four scores against Michigan State, bailing the team out of bad situations, making plays on the move, and throwing with a confidence that hasn’t always been there throughout the year. He can take a few chances against a Hoosier secondary that’s playing well, but only has three picks.

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

Indiana will be a tough out at home.

It’s been bowl eligible for a few weeks, and it can and will turn it loose in the final home game of the season. It’ll play with a good energy, the offense will keep things moving, and the Michigan defense will be on its heels for the first time in weeks.

Indiana is 7-0 when scoring 34 points or more, and 0-3 when scoring fewer than 34. Michigan allowed 35 points to Wisconsin, and no one else has scored more than 28.

But the Wolverine offense will blast away up front, Patterson will hit just enough key passes to lead the way on long marches, and then …

It’s Ohio State week.

Wisconsin (8-2) vs. Purdue (4-6) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Purdue Will Win

Throw on the Wisconsin secondary, and don’t stop.

Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez was able to hit play after play against the Badgers … but he only threw it 23 times in last week’s 37-21 loss. He was able to bomb away for 220 yards – averaging close to ten yards per throw – but he wasn’t able to connect enough.

Aidan O’Connell won’t have any issues throwing – a lot.

Thrown into the mix with Elijah Sindelar and Jack Plummer out hurt, the freshman winged it 50 times for 271 yards and two scores in the win over Northwestern two weeks ago.

He’s not much of a runner – Martinez gave the Badger D fits – but he’s got the young receivers to spread the ball around to. Wisconsin’s secondary might only give up 154 yards per game, but last year it had a solid pass D, too, and it got hit for almost 400 yards in the wild 47-44 win over the Boilermakers.

Fortunately for the Badgers last season …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Wisconsin Will Win

Jonathan Taylor had a DAY.

The best runner after three seasons in NCAA history – passing Herschel Walker last week for career rushing yards as a junior – put the Badgers on his back last season, running 33 times for 321 yards and three scores, averaging close to ten yards per carry.

As a freshman, he rumbled for 219 yards averaging over seven yards per pop in the win over the Boilermakers.

How much is the Purdue defensive front struggling? It allowed over 250 rushing yards to Northwestern.

This isn’t a bad Boilermaker D, but the Wisconsin running game picked it back up after the debacle against Ohio State, coming up with two straight 300-yard days helped by an O line that’s playing well at just the right time.

And then there’s the matter of …

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

Wisconsin has won 13 in a row in the series and 15 of the last 17.

Purdue has been competitive over the last two years, and these two have played some classics in the not-too-distant past, but the Badgers need to win to set up a showdown with Minnesota for the Big Ten West title next week.

It’ll have problems with the Boilermaker passing attack early on, but the formula will kick in. In the final home game of the year. Wisconsin will go out doing what it does best and pound away for another 300-yard rushing day.

Big Ten Quick Thoughts, Takes On Every Game: Week 12

Quick thoughts and takes on every Week 12 Big Ten game.

[jwplayer PkCtjTd4-boEY74VG]

Quick thoughts and takes on every Week 12 Big Ten game.

@PeteFiutak

Wisconsin 37, Nebraska 21

Adrian Martinez was fantastic. He was fast, decisive, and he looked like the star for the Husker offense everyone is hoping he’ll be. He threw for 220 yards and a score, ran for 89 yards and a touchdown, Dedrick Mills ran for 188 yards and a score, and Nebraska gained almost 500 yards …

And Nebraska lost by 16. 

Wisconsin got shoved around too much, struggled against the Nebraska running game, and gave up too many big plays, but Jonathan Taylor ran for 204 yards and two scores, QB Jack Coan was fine, Aron Cruickshank retuned a kick for a score, and the D came through when absolutely needed.

The Badgers need to win out and get a loss from Minnesota before they play on November 30th. Nebraska has to beat both Maryland on the road and against Iowa to go bowling.

Northwestern 45, UMass 6

Leave it to Northwestern to be the only team that couldn’t hang a gajillion points on the worst defense in college football. One of the scores came on a blocked field goal.

This was the game to have a whole lot of fun with the passing game. Aidan Smith completed 7-of-13 passes for 76 yards with two interceptions. Wheeeeee!

Evan Hull?! The freshman had four carries all year for 15 yards, and he ripped through the Minutemen for 220 yards and four scores on 24 carries. The Wildcats ran for 335 yards and five scores.

It’s going to take something amazing for the Wildcats to win another game with Minnesota and at Illinois to close. 2-10 would be the worst season since going 2-9 in 1993.

NEXT: Michigan 44, Michigan State 10; Penn State 34, Indiana 27

Ohio State (9-0) vs. Rutgers (2-7) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Rutgers Will Win

Ohio State doesn’t have Chase Young for another week. Other than that …

Okay, so this is a wee bit of an uphill battle for the Scarlet Knights, but watch out for the Buckeyes looking to get in, get this over with, and move on to the Penn State game next week as healthy as possible.

Rutgers is getting back RB Isaih Pacheco from an ankle problem that kept him out of the Illinois game. He’s a real, live weapon for a rested team that’s had two weeks off to gear up a bit.

QB Johnny Langan might not be Joe Burrow throwing the ball, but he can move, and the offense as a whole has had a few moments when it was at least able to move the ball a wee bit.

And then there’s the anger factor. Ohio State was looking to make a point last week against Maryland – there won’t be any onside kicks against the Scarlet Knights. The pity factor might be enough to call the dogs off early.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Ohio State Will Win

Ohio State can call its shot.

Does it want to score 50? 75? Does it really want to push for 100?

It’s playing at the highest of levels on both sides of the ball. The offense might get all the attention and love – QB Justin Fields and RB JK Dobbins are going off for an attack that leads the nation in scoring – but the defense has been the real star.

With or without Young, the D keeps on dominating.

The Buckeyes are No. 1 in the nation in total defense, sacks, and second in the country in third down stops. There’s NFL talent all across the board – it’s more than just Young.

Rutgers might have just enough parts to eek out a late score, but it’s going to take something amazing to get to double-digits.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Don’t expect the Buckeyes to be all that ticked off about being No. 2 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings – and yet they’ll look and play like they are.

Rutgers will score. It just won’t do it twice.
