I’m in a quandary. MST is a passing team so bad weather can help us. But their defense has been good against the run.
Game could be sloppy
I am going with 27-10 Rutgers

i can’t lie, don’t think we take this one from the sparts. 28-12 final with RU trailing entire game.

I like RU chances here. One cause for trepidation - The Spartans are coming off a bye week. In the end, RU is the better-coached team. MSU loses it on turnovers and untimely penalties. RU 27-16.

Offense:
MSU 17
RU 10

Defense:
MSU 0
RU 14

RU wins this nail-biter 24-17 largely on the efforts of a terrific defensive performance, with two take-aways leading to scores. I want to give our offense more credit but I think you'll see the same Gavin you've seen all season with only moderate tweaks in the (offensive) gameplan. Thus, he may appear a bit more comfortable and confident. I just don't think that it translates to more points or a (greater than) 200 yard performance.

Both teams lack talent but Rutgers must win this Homecoming game to achieve six wins.

Rutgers 24- Michigan State 20

I don’t know, dude. It would be so Rutgers to win this one and then lose the one at Indiana. Flashbacks to the Illinois loss in the Covid year…. Hoping we follow the script of 2014.

More times than not you have a bad feeling. Sorry it upset you . So tell us… why are we losing this game? I ‘m really curious other than your normal reasons to blame Schiano.

You are definitely confusing me with someone else. I have been pretty much down the middle with schiano.

I feel Michigan state’s offense will play well and we won’t get the turnovers we need . I don’t believe in our offense.

Kinda interesting you are asking me about this prediction and not others I made earlier this season.

Well I think we win…. have you watched MSU ? We’ll see and you do realize if Gavin doesn’t throw that interception that game at Wisconsin is much different. I realize turnovers count and I think we can turn them over . Just can’t see why you think they are going to win.Because theyhad a bye week? We’ll see soon.

Bad weather makes us even more reliant on the run, and therefore even more predictable and easily-defended than usual.

23-13 green team.

If dry, 24-20 red team.

MSU coming off a bye week, bouncing off rock bottom, and likely debuting a new qb. All scenarios that should give any long time RU fan PTSD. I’m not predicting. But I will say it would be great to get these monkeys off our back.

“Us”? Team Tundra?
not that i care, but never once have i said something about that program good or bad. it’s amusing that somehow i’ve been labeled a Cuse fan.

if anything, the incorrect opinion should be that I’m a Nittany Lion fan because i’ve often said positive things about the academic and athletic programs there which are unrelated to the scandal. i find the rampant PSU scorn here to be puerile jealousy of a profoundly superior football program one state over.

if the same scandal happened anywhere else but PSU, nobody here would have the same outrage, proving it’s our little brother Remus Complex more than anything else. All BIG10 universities are top notch. Being an everything PSU hater over something that happened 20 years ago is pathetic. Be disgusted by JS and JP all you like, same as me, but that’s where the hate should end.

17-10 RU
Having a difficult time understanding Shelby’s logic 🤔
Shelby’s logic is that the sewers in Pennsyltucky don’t stink. In fact, nobody’s sewers stink except for the Schiano household. Okay, then…

That said, I too have Plum’s not so good feeling. Dantonio has been working some magic to salve the Tucker wounds and they piece it together for a late season run. Green 24, Scarlet 7.

I predict that if we don’t win this game then there will be no bowling. Also this board will explode. So go RU 17-10 over Sparty
