Indiana @ (18) Michigan St. Game Thread 10/21 3:30PM EST ABC

[ThompsonHoosier 3,414]

I know basketball is around the corner...but lets not forget we still have a football team to root for. This will be the 4th. ranked opponent we face this season and thankfully our schedule will get much easier after this weekend (outside of the Wisconsin game). It is MSU's homecoming and I'm sure they will want the Old Brass Spittoon back after last year's debacle, but ESPN's Football Power Index still gives us a 39.8% chance of winning. For people that follow S&P+ Rankings:

MSU:

• MSU Overall S&P+ Rank: 20
• MSU Off.  S&P+ Rank: 78
• MSU Def. S&P+ Rank: 9
• MSU Sp. Teams S&P+ Rank: 59

Indiana:

• IU Overall S&P+ Rank: 44
• IU Off.  S&P+ Rank: 90
• IU Def. S&P+ Rank: 22
• IU Sp. Teams S&P+ Rank: 10

Also LJ Scott for MSU was arrested Wednesday for driving on a suspended license...for the 7th time (!!!), so we'll see if Dantonio makes him sit for a few games (or at least a few series?).

He won't start....but will show up in the 2nd play (my guess, lol).

Gotta send a strong message on that 7th offense!

Come on you guys 7 arrests is hardly a conviction. Maybe there's another explanation. 

[OliviaPope40 6,520]

What is the suspension going to be indefinite with a string attached to it.

[southsidehoosier 5,027]

Is anyone really surprised

Defend the spittoon!

[Hoosier Guy 7,529]

I don't think IU stands much of a chance. But that's why they play the game

If we play mistake free football we have a decent chance. MSU is kind of like Virginia in that they have a good record but hard to gauge how good they are at this point. It should be a low scoring affair.

Could be like the Michigan game in that it's a defensive battle. I don't trust IU on the road though

I don't trust the first 130 years of IU football on the road. It's a new era.

New era? Not until IU proves they can actually win big games

It is MSU's homecoming this weekend. 

[Crimson and Cream 5,825]

I felt a lot more confident about the Michigan game than I do this one. MSU is tough again this year.

[Magnanimous 4,603]

I'd be less confident about today's performance if we hadn't already had our egg game, but I can't imagine we play the same way we did @PSU. Not expecting a win, but not expecting to get run over either.

Rutgers trying to put Purdue back in their place.

I am hoping we sneak up on MSU and get the win since everyone is counting us out

This Oklahoma St/Texas game is raring to go to overtime. 

We're likely getting switched to ESPN news or online.

Script Indiana helmets. Hell yeah!
