Why Youngstown State Will Beat Michigan State
For Michigan State, this is a game that they can’t overlook. This is a game that Michigan State should really win, but Youngstown State could be a test. If they struggle here early and allow Youngstown State to hang around, this could be a long game.
Why Michigan State Will Beat Youngstown State
Michigan State’s defense wasn’t as good in the last game and I expect the defense could be a problem again in this game for them. Brungard is a true dual threat quarterback, and he’s going to have quite the game here. He ran for 264 yards in his last game, and he’s going to have a huge game here. Will it be enough to win? Maybe not, but it wouldn’t be all that shocking to me if somehow they did end up coming away with a victory. We will take the points though to be safe. Back Youngstown State against the spread.
