Yeah, that's the conventional wisdom, though
MSU will probably go in as 14 - 21 point dogs. Tressell knows better than to look past Dantonio, but right about now, at 7 - 0, his kids are thinking they're pretty hot ****. If the OL is healthy on Saturday,
MSU has a decent chance to surprise these guys.
Keep in mind their rookie QB may be more of a liability than Hoyer, who is progressing pretty well. He's not throwing a lot of picks, and though he takes sacks when he might throw the ball away, he'll correct that eventually. Also, if he can follow up 20 - 23 with a similar performance, and the OL allows him to do that and opens some holes for Thunder & Lightning, and the DL pressures the OSU QB look for the SOS talk to take the end of the year off.
