Def. Friday is underrated as a run defender so he will be important for UW. It’ll be helpful to be able to throw different defensive lines at them in waves.
But I don’t like looking ahead (not that you were). MSU’s quarterback is really good imo, so concerns about them are warranted imo.
Furthermore, IU and even FAU had success with finding some holes in the zone so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them exploit a little zone coverage with quick releases for a few scoring drives.
But again, the defensive line could control this game. Get after him with a heavy rotation of rushing and play tight press to try to not let the WR off the LOS and that quick release might not be so easy or successful. Their center is absolutely awful, so even some interior blitzing would be good imo.
