OFFENSE: This is why the weeks is anticipated. MSU showed signs of life offensively against OSU even while scoring only 16 points. Maxwell stayed poised in the pocket delivered the ball on the money and for the most part his receivers made plays. With that, there is a new wrinkle to the offense. Aaron Burbridge was named a starter in place of the struggling Bennie Fowler. KJ from the only colors thinks that this has a weird vibe. I could not disagree more. Aaron has come in as a highly recruiter wide receiver, Fowler has not been struggling to get it done. Along with that, Dan Roushar has described Burbridge as being able to catch everything that is thrown his way. That is exactly what we need.
DEFENSE: Defensively, this MSU team has performed very well. Like a keep saying, the defense is not going to win us games, we still need to score points. For this game at Indiana, MSU needs to come out ready to hit someone. Gholston, this week, has given his play so far this year a "C". What is he going to do to change that? Adams got beat on a perfectly thrown ball last week, will a play like that happen with a lesser quarterback? For Gholston, look for him to be attacking, I think he is hearing it from his coaches and is getting worked in practice, there should be a lot of effort out of him. Look for Adams to have another strong game and even come up with an interception.
Overall this is a game that MSU should end up winning comfortably. To start, Indiana will move the ball well and tack on some field goals. Opposing that will be the MSU offense and Burbridge. I expect MSU to throw to him early and I think Indiana is keenly aware of that. Look for Burbridge to be used a decoy for Bell to pop out on a little wheel route. But what about Bell? He had disappeared against OSU. Bell will get going early as they use the run to set up the pass. Bell should break the century mark and tack on some touchdowns in the second half. Well call this game 28-13 MSU
