Why Indiana Will Win

Is it possible to get the passing game going again?

Indiana suffered from playing an Ohio State team looking to crank it all back up after a rough day in bad weather against Northwestern, and before that it had to deal with the strong Penn State secondary.

For the most part the Hoosiers have been able to throw with over 200 yards against just about everyone else on the slate. No matter who’s at quarterback – likely Dexter Williams – the offense gets a much, much easier pass defense to deal with.

The Spartans might have won the last two games, but Illinois threw well – at least for Illinois – and Rutgers at least made the final score look better late in a 27-21 loss with a bit of a passing game.

Michigan State’s pass defense gives up the second-most yards in the Big Ten, but …

Why Michigan State Will Win

Indiana’s pass defense give up the most yards in the Big Ten.

The defense as a whole it being ripped to shreds, Ohio State and Penn State took target practice over the last two weeks, and this week Michigan State should be able to do whatever it wants.

It doesn’t have to throw for 300 yards, but as long as it keeps things moving and takes advantage of all the makable third down chances, all will be fine.

Indiana doesn’t do a thing to control the clock. Michigan State should be able to balance out the attack a bit, the run defense gets the week off, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Michigan State will be bowl eligible.

It might not be the season everyone was hoping for out of the Spartans, but after all the rough patches and all the problems, winning four of the last five games and getting to six wins before closing at Penn State is just fine.

It won’t be a total breeze – the Spartans don’t do anything easy – but Indiana simply won’t be able to do enough offensively on a consistent basis.

Why Indiana Will Win

So how is Indiana doing this?

It’s simple … it’s versatile. It hasn’t won the same way in any of the three games.

The offense did nothing against Penn State, and then it rallied late and pulled off a stunner. The offense was solid against Rutgers, and the defense was a rock. The passing game was terrific against Michigan, and the run D allowed 13 yards and lived behind the line.

Whatever is being thrown at Indiana, Indiana seemed to be able to handle.

Michigan State was able to beat Michigan thanks to the lack of turnovers, but it gave it up seven times to Rutgers and three times to Iowa, and lost both games. And that’s one of the constants so far for IU – takeaways.

The Hoosiers came up with three against Penn State and Rutgers and two against Michigan, while not turning it over in the last two games.

CFN College Football Experts Picks

Why Michigan State Will Win

Michigan State has been solid at getting behind the line.

The pass rush might not be anything great, but the defensive front is coming up with a whole slew of tackles for loss. It needs to at least bother Michael Penix and the IU passing game that’s not consistent, but is getting better and better.

For all of the positives with the Hoosiers, the running game isn’t working. It’s been stuffed for 268 yards and just 2.6 yards per carry. If the Spartans can keep Penix from going off, the run defense will take care of the rest.

What’s Going To Happen

Which Michigan State is going to show up? Will it be the one that was ultra-focused and terrific in the clutch against Michigan, or will it be the one that kept turning it over against Rutgers and Iowa?

1993 was the last time the Hoosier won four games in a row in the Big Ten, and that fourth win was against …

Michigan State. Indiana is playing too well, and the Spartans are too inconsistent.
