This game went from cheeks to ass after last Saturday. Winner keeps some bowl hope alive, loser is done.
I think healthy, I'd take Michigan State comfortably, but Houser is playing well, and he should light up MSU's reserve back seven. The MSU OL played better than it appeared, but the lack of skill position talent is evident, and Alessio holds the ball too long. This should be the worst defense the Spartans have played since EMU. Hopefully last week nudges the staff towards playing some of the younger skill position talent, just to see if there is someone who can give them a spark.
Michigan State 27, Illinois 21
