Well then.... Interesting?

Yeah Im a little shocked. This is more fuel for MSU now.

Why is anyone surprised? You guys are acting like Michigan State has looked great.

Michigan State played one game against Furman and only won by 15 at home. They looked like shit. You guys are really scared of this team? WOW lmao

Not worried about the team... worried about our defense

They're a pro style offense. We'll be fine. They scored 28 against furman at home. There is nothing to be concerned about when it comes to our defense in this game. I think 21-24 points is enough to win this game.

ND/MSU is always a good game. ND should be able to take Sparty out this upcoming weekend..ND 27 MSU 20

I feel like even if we win this game we will only go up 2 or 3 spots in the AP Poll... you know since the AP hates us

Even though it stops counting when the CFB Playoff Rankings come out.

Yeah it will be close but low scoring. I'm going with 24-14

They played Furman at home. We played Texas on the road. Something tells me with the way they looked at home against furman that if the roles were reversed, they would also have 1 L.

Notre Dame typically plays solid defense against pro style offensive teams.

the fact they played furman and didn't overwhelm everyone has no bearing on the upcoming game.
doesn't anyone look at history anymore?

Another team that schedules weak opponents is Mich. Look at their 1st 3 games. Sad.

We won 4 of the last 5 including 3 straight

My biggest concern is MSU having an extra week to prepare for this game.

Likewise. Still think we win by 6-10 points

 

[bbirish73]

I'm not worried about this game either. Michigan might be physical but not enough talent. Notre Dame under the lights is a win

Michigan State is 4-4 after a bye week lately

Their QB is a 5th year senior who has started 1 game (against Furman). I don't know how he is going to respond to a night game at ND. I'm not sure that a week off here is a good thing for a new quarterback. I feel good about this game, I'm just sorry that I won't be there.
