Mich. State's D is very strong against the run, which is important b/c Minn. averages 6.0 ypc. Mich State is vulnerable to a good passing attack. Abdul Khaliq is not that great of a passer so it looks like State will match up pretty well here. Spartan's offense is clicking with Smoker and there were some holes in that Minn. D as they collapsed vs. Mich last week. The X factor here is how Minnesota will respond to what happened in the Mich. game. Will it linger or will they rally from it. I think State's D will keep them in the game, and I like getting the 6 points here.
