I honestly believe we can and will beat MSU, this year alone we have takin our share of heart breaks, close losses and so forth. Tommy has had a rough 3 weeks or so and he and our whole team is due to come together and play some sound good football. Like you pointed out, this isn't your normal MSU this year. They have done just enough to win all of there games but thats it. I honestly think we play hard, sound, and good football this weekend and win a very close game, like last year minus the dropped game winning touchdown pass.
As for Iowa, im loving this game because you guys are playing good football and are up this year. The part i LOVE is that your guys strengths match are strengths to the T. With that said, i think we also beat you guys and finish the season 6-6 and a bowl win. We will see though, thats MY opinion. But beating 2 top 15 teams to finish the season would help the coaches, players and fans out a lot going into the off season.
