Baylor is gonna truck Sparty in Dallas. 55-28. Something like that.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Oregon >>> Baylor. Aside from being unable to close the deal (on the road early in the season) they had a good plan to bottle up Mariota.

There playing well right now. I think they have a good chance. I like Dantonio as much as I like Briles

[Mike]

Well I personally can't stand Dantonio.

[Jeff Buchanan]

I can't either. That prune face of his drives me nutz. But he's a proven good coach so, there is that.

[whodean]

Very optimistic in the Big10, Jeff?

[UMStan White]

And you're surprised because............

The Spartans match up pretty well with Baylor. Teams run into issues with Baylor because they lack corners to play on islands with the way Baylor spreads the field. MSU can cover 95 percent of the time. I think the OSU game was just a terrible game and OSU is much better than Baylor. It is a harder matchup that Ga. Tech would have been.

Baylor is bad defensively, MSU is really good offensively.

Jeff Buchanan would love Mark Dantonio coaching his team.

Baylor will be playing this game.. at home basically... to prove a point

Baylor's offense is a terrible matchup for MSU's matchup-zone, for the same reason Oregon was; they will put great stress on the OLB/Safety banjos. There might not be anybody in the country who is better at combining play-action with combo routes than Art Briles, and they all but have a 100-meter relay team at wideout. Against this MSU will be playing C1 or C0 concepts...they'll throw for 400 on Sparty, mostly in big chunks.

Sparty better not sleep on Baylor's defense either...they are fast as well.

[whodean]

Party's defense isn't what it was either.

[entropy]

I think Wisky has the worst matchup for them.. they'll get crushed again

[iam416]

Yeah, Michigan State would have been far better off playing GT in the Orange. GT is a bitch with one week to prepare, but entirely manageable for a bowl game. Plus, that would have cost the B10 one bowl spot (the CapOne) which is one less bowl loss.

I think MSU can play with Baylor, though.
