How Michigan State Can Shut Down Oregon's Playmakers
Last year's Michigan State defense was led by the reigningBroyles Award winner at coordinator (Pat Narduzzi), a future first-round draft pick at cornerback (Trae Waynes) and an All-Big Ten first-teamer at safety (Kurtis Drummond), and yet it still allowed 46 points in a humbling loss at Oregon.
This year's defense loses all three of those leaders, and although it returns talent along the defensive line, it still has to play over its head—and way over how it played in Week 1—to win the rematch when the Ducks arrive in East Lansing this Saturday.
