Title: Michigan State (3-0) at #25 USC (1-0, 3-0) Game Week

Nothing like kicking off at 11:00 PM ET.  I guess better than last year when we had to play at Oregon on a Friday night, 6 days after playing OSU.

Sounds like MSU will be without #1 WR Nick Marsh, and #1 RB Mekhi Frazier.  The defense continues to look shaky, particularly the back seven.  Plus, looks like BC was maybe overrated.  The cross country trip is always tough, so maybe grant BC a little grace, but this game is also cross country.

I think MSU, even without their two top weapons, can score some points, but not nearly enough considering how the defense has looked.

USC 45, Michigan State 21

Looks about right. I think the cross-country trip is worth about 10 points for the home team. This is a big ask for Sparty against USC.

have my doubts about a Lincoln Riley coached defense. MSU has huge questions about their defense as well though. missing Nick Marsh really hurts MSU though- he's the best weapon on that offense and a big-time talent at WR.
