MSU Three Things and a Prediction

A bit slow to get this up.  Recently got a new job.  (thanks MSU degree).  However, I do have three things to watch for and a game prediction.

1.  Can our offensive line dominate the Penguins?  As was mentioned in a previous post, our offensive line is young, at least at the tackle and center position.  Thanks Pat for forgetting to mention our starting center will be a redshirt freshman.  However, this Penguins team is not very good.  Plain and simple. Watch for our offensive line to dominate the Penguins and gain confidence.  If that doesn't happen, could be a long season.

Plus, have you seen Travis Jackson?  Look at that hair!!

2. WRU, I mean MSU.  Yes, we are Wide Receiver University.  And this years class might be the best group in the country.  Add on to that Dion Sims is back on the team and there is a lot of big bodies for Kirk to throw the ball to.  If we are passing at all (I expect a lot of run plays) look for BJ Cunningham to break the career receptions record and maybe even catch some of these reported long bombs they have been working on for the last year.  Also, this is the year Keith Nichol will be remembered.  Hes a big boy and could be used a lot on short passes

yup.

3.  For my last thing.  I was thinking about saying the linebacker play, but that's too simple.  I will go with defensive line play.  Like the offensive line, I expect our defensive line to blow through the Penguins offensive line.  If Worthy is a top 10 pick, this is a game where he should dominate.  Also, Will Gholston needs to get out there, get some hits and take some hits after shoulder surgery last year.


So basically, what I want to see is line play and the receivers catch the ball on some deep passes.

Final prediction:  This Youngstown State team does not have the personnel to compete with us and we will not pull a...dare I say it?  A Michigan.  41-13 final.
