Ben Chappell, Demarlo Belcher, Tandon Doss, and Terrence Turner will put up some numbers this week. I'm sure of that.Through four games, TSUN ranks last in the B10 in pass defense (nat'l rank 105), 8th in rush defense (55), 10th in scoring defense (64), and last in total defense (93).

Next week vs. Sparty is a big unknown with it being a rivalry and msu having a somewhat shaky defense, but sparty's balanced O will make it interesting. If forced to pick, I'd say Sparty by < 10exhawg;1785342; said:Can we get a vbet on how many games scum will win the rest of the regular season? I'll give them one more.

Agree somewhat. I think this one comes down to the wire, but Sparty pulls it off in the end. Field goal wins it.
Iowa's D +Stanzi exploiting the middle of that secondary = trouble. The key will be keeping Stanzi from committing the retarded turnovers he's prone to. I'd say Iowa by 10-14
I think this is going to be an Iowa blowout. Iowa seems to have a good DL/LB core that will most likely take away the long DR runs and force him to the air. I see it being more like a >20 win for the Hawkeyes. This could also be the beginning of the meltdown we have witnessed from this team the past 2 years, where the team starts to quit in the 4th qtr.
@PSU will be difficult. PSU's D isn't as good as in the past, but it's in happy valley. Bolden is an adequate passer for a true frosh and Royster should have his way. Play action could be a big weapon. I think PSU pulls it out in a close shootout.
This is the one that I think UM could take. They play well against State Penn, and I don't think the shitney D will be able to stop the UM O. I see UM winning this in the last minute like the IU game. State Penn is not that good this year.
Illinois....hard to say. I think Scheelhaase is just the kind of QB who could give them fits. LeShour/Ford will give them problems. Their attacking D might be able to contain hairlice. Tossup.
Agree 100% on this one.
@Purdue...scUM rolls.
I see another IU game here, basketball on the football field. I am saying Toss up in this one.
Wiscy...Clay/Ball/Tolzien/Kendricks = long day for scUM D. Wiscy by 14+
The Badgers definitely have the DL/LB to contain DR, so again he will have to rely on his arm. The UM D will most likely give up the most ever run yardage in their history in this game. Wiscy by 20 or more points.
tOSU...Pain
No foregone conclusions here, but there is no way that UM O puts up more than 14 in this game, and hopefully tOSU is hitting on all cylinders by this time and we see another 30+ win this year.
So, I see 4 (almost certain) losses, 2 Tossups, and 1 win. With them at 5-0, I'd say 7-5/8-4 are equal possibilities which is 2-3 games better than I honestly expected. Of course all that is dependent on hairlice staying in one piece. If he misses significant time, lookout below.
