Michigan State (4-2, 6-3) at Maryland (3-3, 5-4) Post Game
« on: October 29, 2018, 11:03:53 AM »
Lot of unknowns all season with both of these teams (injuries for MSU, the seemingly never ending Durkin thing for Maryland), has led to performances all over the map.  At their best MSU has a road win at Penn State and Maryland has a neutral site win over Texas.  At their worst, Michigan State has a home loss to Northwestern, and Maryland has a home loss to Temple.

I could see an MSU blowout win, a Maryland blowout win, or anything in between.

Sounds like there's a chance Cody White could return this week.

Interesting thing about the Terps (at least to me):  They are 3-2 in the B1G and they have yet to have anything even resembling a competitive game.  Their three wins all came at home over three of the worst teams in the conference (MN, IL, RU) and all were by at least 27 points while their two losses came on the road against two of the better teams in the conference (M, IA) and both were by at least 21 points.  

This game is a home game against a team closer to their level than any of their previous five B1G opponents.  It should at least be a more competitive game.

CB Josiah Scott was cleared to play prior to the game, but MSU decided to give him another week to get up to speed, since he can now play in every game and still redshirt, although he'd have to sit out the bowl.  Sounds like there's a chance they may sit him instead again against Rutgers, play him in the bowl, and still keep his redshirt.

Dantonio got his annual clunker out of the way. I think MSU will be pretty solid the rest of the way. I like Sparty in this one.

He doesn't so much have clunkers as is frequently inconsistent.  I'm sure he has more clunkers and more gems in store.  It wouldn't shock me at all to lose this game and beat OSU next week.

Matt Allen and Cody White not listed on the depth chart, still no Josiah Scott or David Beedle either.

Justin Layne, Jordan Reid and Joe Bachie, all injured against Purdue are listed on the depth chart.

For QB it says Lewerke OR Lombardi.  Let that controversy begin.

this will be one of the best games to watch, I think. Won't find more inconsistent teams in the B1G this year week to week than these two.

Matt Allen not travelling, but both Cody White and Josiah Scott will, although both are questionable to play.

Woah, D.J. Durkin will be back on the sidelines Saturday.  Not sure I like that as far as intangibles factors go for MSU's chances.

I do not think that Maryland has been as inconsistent as you are thinking.  I think it is just a matter of who they have played and where:
  • AT #1 Michigan, lost by 21
  • AT #4 Iowa, lost by 23
  • VS #11 Minnesota, won by 29
  • VS #13 Illinois, won by 30
  • VS #14 Rutgers, won by 27
So far all of their games have either been home games against the worst four teams in the league or road games against the best four teams in the league.  The top four teams are 8-3 at home while the bottom four are 1-9 on the road.  

I don't think it is so much a matter of Maryland being inconsistent as that the games they have played are the easiest (home games against the worst teams) and the hardest (road games against the best teams) possible games.  The next two weeks are very interesting for the Terps as they have a home game against #5 and a road game against #12.  If you reversed the H/A I would think it safe to assume that they would beat Indiana in College Park and lose to Michigan State in East Lansing.  As it is scheduled 2-0, 1-1 (either way), and 0-2 are all realistic possibilities.
