I mentioned in the Monday Morning Quarterback article that Penn State has been on a tear, beating Indiana, Maryland, and Rutgers by an average score of 43-8. I see no reason to break tendency at this point.

Unlike most of by BSD colleagues, I do not expect this to be an easy game. Michigan State always plays Penn State tough. I have watched Sparty teams worse than this one upset Penn State, both with and without James Franklin, before.
Additionally, the Spartans will be playing for bowl eligibility. That will be a motivating factor.
