Michigan State vs Maryland Game Preview

Why Michigan State Will Win

Okay … what’s up?

This is a good team. There’s talent, Mel Tucker and staff didn’t suddenly forget how to coach, and it’s quite possible that Washington and Minnesota are just that good.

But yeah, it’s been a rough two weeks in blowout losses – even with a decent 39-28 final score against the Huskies.

The passing game is still playing okay. The midrange throws are there, the defensive front was fine until Minnesota had other ideas, and overall the fundamentals are still strong.

So how does this flip back around? It starts with getting a little positive momentum, and that starts with takeaways.

Maryland has come up with multiple turnovers in just one of the top four games, and the offense has given it up five times in the last two outings, and …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Maryland Will Win

Michigan State was exposed.

That might seem harsh, but the pass defense that was so bad last year was a disaster against the Huskies and Gophers, and the running game that lost Kenneth Walker didn’t generate any semblance of a push in either game.

There’s a great pass rush, but the D can’t come up with a third down stop and now it has to deal with the Maryland passing attack that’s going to keep on coming.

Michigan might have run over the Terps, but Taulia Tagovailoa will spread the ball around – six different targets have ten or more catches so far – and hit his share of deep shots.

– Schedules, Previews CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

Can Michigan State control the game and the clock – that’s been a big issue so far – by getting the ground game going again?

SMU ran well on the Terps, Michigan ripped off over six yards per carry, and now the Spartans will do their part in an enough-is-enough sort of way after the last two weeks.

The turnover battle will swing back MSU’s way.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Michigan State vs Maryland Game Preview


Why Michigan State Will Win

The Spartans are hitting from the outside.

They don’t take a ton of threes, and they don’t rely on the outside shot to get by, but it’s a big deal when they’re on – they’re making them when they’re taking them lately.

They connected on half of their threes in the wins over Wisconsin and Michigan, and were over 40% in the wins over Nebraska and Minnesota.

This isn’t a great shooting Maryland team, and it’s not going to have a whole lot of luck on the inside. They’ve been doing okay lately, but the Michigan State defense is able to clamp down even though it doesn’t force a whole slew of mistakes.

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Maryland Will Win

About those Michigan State threes, they’re 12-0 when they make 39% or more, and 4-5 when they don’t.

Maryland has only allowed teams to hit 39% or more six times. That hasn’t been a predictor for Terp success, but again, it’s a big deal for the Spartans.

Michigan State has a weird way of going dead cold for stretches. If they’re not making up for the off shooting with lots of rebounds, there’s a problem.

Maryland is good on the glass, they’re solid on the line, and outside of the struggles at Indiana a few days ago, it’s been good from inside the arc and doing a nice job of getting to the rim.

Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

This is a dangerous game for Michigan State. It’s the third road game in the last four dates, it’s coming off the blowout over Michigan, and it’s been scuffling a little bit lately on this 2-2 run.

Maryland isn’t going to beat the Spartans with the three, but they have to match up well on the inside. That’s going to be a problem.

Michigan State will survive, but barely.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Michigan State vs Maryland Game Preview


Why Michigan State Will Win

Maryland is good against the bad teams, and AWFUL against the good ones – at least since the 30-24 win over West Virginia to start the season.

There’s no shame in losing to Ohio State, or Minnesota, or Iowa or Penn State, but the Terps were collectively annihilated in all four games by a combined score of 182-61, and they slipped by Illinois and had no problems getting by Howard, or Indiana, or Kent State.

There’s no running game for the Spartans to worry about, and the defense has been getting crushed over the last six games allowing way over 400 yards in each one.

This is the game to get the ground attack back and rolling. However …
College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why Maryland Will Win

The Michigan State pass defense is about to get hammered.

There were issues here and there before the last few weeks – WKU throws on everyone, so the 488 yards weren’t a big deal, and Miami’s D’Eriq King went off – but the Spartans have struggled allowing 942 passing yards over the last two games.

No, Maryland’s offense isn’t consistent, but Taulia Tagovailoa has been good, the passing game should hit 300 yards, and the O should keep the pressure on, but …

What’s Going To Happen

Kenneth Walker is about to have a day.

The Michigan State defense will once again look mediocre, but Walker will run for well over 100 yards, the Spartan offense will take over as the game goes on, and Maryland will misfire just enough – helped by three turnovers – to let the game get out of hand in the second half.

Why Michigan State Will Win

Really, Michigan State is off the bubble – beating Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois in the last six games has something to do with that – but getting bounced out of the Big Ten Tournament right away would at least make things a wee bit iffy.

Motivation won’t be a problem.

What’s the team doing right lately? It helped that Michigan had already won the Big Ten regular season title, and the Spartans got the Illini and Buckeyes at home, but the defense has cranked it up a few notches, the rebounding is still solid, and now they get a reeling Maryland team that …

Why Maryland Will Win

The Terps beat Michigan State a few weeks ago.

Really, Maryland is off the bubble – going on a five-game winning streak has something to do with that – but losing to Northwestern and Penn State over the last two games means getting bounced out of the Big Ten Tournament right away would at least make things a wee bit iffy.

Motivation won’t be a problem.

What did the Terps do to beat the Spartans? The played great D, hit everything – making half of their three – and relied on MSU not being able to shoot a lick.

This is a rising MSU team, but it’s also miserable from three over the last several games. The Terps have to win the battle from the outside and must at least not get obliterated on the boards.

What’s Going To Happen

The Terps will make more threes but they’ll get obliterated on the boards.

The Maryland losses and the power outages against Northwestern and Penn State are really, really concerning. Michigan State will have just a wee more intensity as it makes up for the ugly 73-55 loss from a few days ago.

Why Michigan State Will Win

For all of the problems Michigan State has had – and the pass rush isn’t generating sacks – the defense keeps on getting into the backfield. It started with 11 tackles for loss against Rutgers, and it kept on going from there with a whole lot of pressure and good plays to do its part to keep the team in games.

The defense as a whole hasn’t been a rock, but it’s been good against the run – outside of issues with Iowa, but the secondary stepped up a bit in the blowout loss – and overall it hasn’t been the problem.

Offensively, it’s been a rough run, but the passing game has been able to move a bit. However …

Why Maryland Will Win

The Michigan State quarterback situation is a problem. Payton Thorne needs more time and seasoning, and Rocky Lombardi can’t stop turning the ball over.

The offensive production is last in the Big Ten, there’s no ground game whatsoever, and the turnovers are coming in bunches. MSU didn’t give the ball away against Michigan, and it won 27-24. It gave it up seven times against Rutgers, and lost. It gave the ball away three times against Iowa and four times against Indiana, and lost both games.

Maryland isn’t big on generating turnovers, but it’s not going to lose battle here. Offensively, as long as QB Taulia Tagovailoa can stay hot – he has hit 72% of his passes for 676 yards and six touchdowns with one pick, hitting big play after big play – there won’t be a problem.

MSU doesn’t have the ability to keep up any sort of a pace.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Maryland keep it all going before it had to shut things down before the Ohio State game last week? Can Michigan State be anything but totally miserable after scoring a total of seven points in the last two games?

Sort of, and yes.

The Spartan defense will bother Tagovailoa, and it’ll hold down the Terp running game just enough keep the game alive. Michigan State’s offense will be decent against the Big Ten’s worst defense, and then the turnovers will come.

Michigan State will be better, but the mistakes will still come.
