yeah- and then they go and kick Michigan's ass the week after.

So I'm hoping OSU absolutely whoops MSU's ass and is feeling themselves going into the game and overlooks Michigan.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?
I think/hope that it will be hard to overlook a team that will be playing for a berth in Indianapolis.  I thought that PSU would beat Michigan such that tOSU would clinch the B1GCG BEFORE The Game and in that case I would have been very worried about it.

It's not about wanting to beat Michigan,it's watching jeem have a grand mal seizure and MGO have a meltdown.But this thread is about the Spartans so there'll be no more discussing the Skunk Bears

These two teams first played in 1912, the year before OSU joined the Big Ten. OSU also played Penn State and Michigan that year, when none of the four were in the Big Ten. Ohio State lost all three games by at least two TDs, but ran the table otherwise, collecting an OAC Title on their way out the door. 

In Big Ten play MSU went 2-1 vs OSU in the 50s, winning the first two. OSU then went 3-2 vs MSU in the 60s. In the 70s OSU went 5-3 vs MSU, with all three MSU wins coming at the expense of Archie Griffin teams. In the 80s OSU went 5-2 vs MSU, with the 2 losses in Bruce's final season and Cooper's first; same two years Indiana last beat the Buckeyes. In the 90s OSU went 5-2 vs MSU, with the two losses in 98 and 99. Then OSU was a perfect 7-0 in the OTs, followed by 6-3 in the 10s, with some Dantonio magic mixed in. So far OSU leads the 20s 1-0.

Someone smarter than me needs to post a video of Mike Geiger's kick in 2015.

I (we) forget how bad resolution was back in the day.  And further back color as well.  Our first color TV had awful colors on the screen.  Now it's like being there.

I was gandering at an OLED 77"er in Costco yesterday, holy bovine it was good (and yes I know the feed was high res something).

I was at that game as a student, one of the weirder games I've ever been to. Ohio State got up big, Michigan State chipped away, but the crowd never really responded like they had any chance. Then suddenly Michigan State took the lead late, And then Ohio State scored a pair of quick touchdowns to end it.

That 2004 Michigan State team was the epitome of MSU football before Dantonio.  I think they lost three of their first four games, because Stanton was out, recovering from an ACL tear while playing punt coverage in the Alamo Bowl the year before. Then they bounced back and got on a roll, absolutely destroying 10-0 Wisconsin to end Bucky's national title hopes, and shutting down a maroney-barber Minnesota team.  They should have beat Michigan, but blew a 17 point 4th quarter lead, and also blew the aforementioned late lead against Ohio State.  But because of that miserable start, because John L Smith decided to play his heir apparent quarterback on punt coverage, too late game chokes against top 10 teams, and then inexplicable back-to-back losses to a bad Penn State and Hawaii to end the season, didn't even end up going to a bowl

never seen a player who appeared faster to my eye than Tedd Ginn JR....and it made NO sense to me that anybody would EVER kick or punt it to him. Nah uh. If I am the coach and he's back there on kick off or punt return I am either touchback or kicking it out of bounds- and I'd take the penalty on the kick off- just not going to let him return it period idgaf- he's not touching the ball on special teams.

From Eleven Warriors:

DOES NOT GO DOWN. I've watched plenty of Michigan State football this season and am very aware of just how good Kenneth Walker III is. But I had no idea how absurd his after contact numbers yards were until stumbling across The Athletic's NFL Draft rankings article yesterday.



Quote
45. Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State (5-10, 212)
The only running back to make the list (Texas A&M’s Isaiah Spiller just missed), Walker has been a breakout star for the Spartans. I want to see more from him as a pass-catcher and blocker, but he is a hard-nosed, physical runner with the instinctive run skills to make defenders miss. According to PFF, Walker currently leads the nation in forced missed tackles (77) and yards after contact (976).


He currently has 1,483 rushing yards, meaning about 2/3rds of his yardage numbers have come after contact, which is insane. To put that into a national perspective, Walker has more yards after contact than all but 20 players in the entire country have yards.
