Five Keys to Ohio State beating Michigan State

Ohio State is ready to travel to East Lansing to take on Michigan State. Here are five keys to victory.

Shakur Brown is the biggest threat on defense, neutralize him

Michigan State has five interceptions this year, and all five were by Brown. He is the biggest threat for the Spartan defense, so finding ways to take away his playmaking ability will be paramount for the offense. If I am the offensive coaching staff, I am looking for ways to “pick” Brown or develop routes that will keep him away from the ball.

Brown is seemingly getting better, so anything the Buckeyes can do to keep the ball away from him will be beneficial for a victory. The rest of the Spartan defense has not been on the same level as Brown.

NEXT … Larry Johnson must be better than Mel Tucker
