A look at this week’s opponent…
Tonight’s game is very simple. You can break it down in every way, but Michigan State is playing Michigan State. Furman is playing entirely with house money. They have nothing to lose and Michigan State has everything to lose. That is why this game is about the six inches that rest between every Spartan’s ears. Can MSU embrace expectations and get a fast start before hitting the breaks with a bye week and heading to South Bend?
For Mark Dantonio the mission is easy. All he needs to do is remind his team of Appalachian State beating Michigan and almost beating #9 Tennessee last night to focus them.
