MSU vs. Indiana Prediction: Can Spartans knock off another ranked foe?

Let’s see if anyone on the Spartans Wire staff is bold enough to peg MSU for another upset this week.

The 2020 Michigan State Spartans have been extremely fitting for this year because like with 2020, you literally have no idea what you’re going to get from week-to-week with MSU.

We are only three games into the season, and we’ve already seen the high’s and low’s of the Spartans. The high was obviously in Week 2 when Michigan State upset hated rival Michigan — who was ranked No. 13 at the time — in the Big House. And the lows were the turnovers-provoked blowout losses to Rutgers and Iowa. It’s literally flip-flopped from week-to-week so far this season.

The lack of consistency from week-to-week would normally be extremely frustrating as a fan, but with MSU — who entered the season with low expectations — it gives you the ability to see how they can potentially win every game, except for Ohio State. No, that doesn’t mean I anticipate the Spartans running the table — that’s not what I’m getting at. What I’m saying is, on paper this should be an easy Indiana win but since we’ve seen how good MSU can play at times this year, we know an upset is possible. Not likely, but possible.

With all of that being said, let’s see if anyone on the Spartans Wire staff is bold enough to peg MSU for another upset this week.

MSU at Iowa Prediction: What’s next for this roller coaster Spartans squad?

It’s already been a wild season for Michigan State football, and we are only two weeks into the campaign.

It’s already been a wild season for Michigan State football, and we are only two weeks into the campaign.

Nearly every Spartan fan out there thought MSU would roll past Rutgers in the season-opener — but that didn’t happen. Then, nearly every Spartan fan expected a blood bath in week two against then-No.13 Michigan — and that didn’t happen either. It’s truly been a roller coaster of a season already, and like I said we are only two games in.

Ultimately, we thought MSU would be 1-1 entering this week’s trip to Iowa City but we didn’t expect it to be like this. We didn’t anticipate the Spartans would be riding the wave of momentum from a huge upset victory over in-state rival Michigan. However, that’s where we are and now it’s time to try to figure out which MSU team we’ll see on Saturday.

Will it be the bunch that couldn’t stop shooting themselves in the foot with countless turnovers in the opener or will it be the resilient squad that can play with anyone on their schedule (minus Ohio State) that we saw last week? Let’s see what the Spartans Wire staff thinks in this week’s MSU-Iowa prediction.
