Can Michigan State score one for Big Ten over SEC?
However, it didn’t stop the former Michigan State coach from, once again, heaping praise on the current Michigan State coach. Neither ranks in the top 25 in any offensive category save one: time of possession, where both are ranked in the top 10.
Though it was nicknamed the “Eighth Wonder of the World” – and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places – the Astrodome proved to be FSU’s personal house of horrors as the Seminoles fell to the Cougars by a 33-13 count. Last year, these two got into quite a verbal tussle during pre-game warmups before the bowl. Both defenses will have their hands full with two of the top rushing offense in college football. With the Seminoles missing starting quarterback Everett Golson, they will rely on their stud running back Dalvin Cook who is one of the most electrifying players in all of college football. They kept Herman around for at least another year with a raise from $1.3 million to $3 million annually. Cook finished the season seventh in Heisman Trophy voting and has rushed for 1,658 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also is the Tigers’ second-leading rusher with 887 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry, and leads the team with 11 TDs…. The Cougars have a very strong run defense, as they rank 11 nationally, allowing just 116 yards per game on the ground. He has caught 89 balls this year for 1,140 yards and six touchdowns. Powered by super-star sophomore Dalvin Cook, Florida State can depend on its run game to put points on the board. Florida State Seminoles defeated the Florida Gators 27-2.
Long before the college football landscape included 40 bowl games, or even the advent of Division I and Division I-AA, forerunners to the FBS and FCS, Florida State and Houston were regular gridiron opponents. The FSU secondary managed only 7 interceptions this season (compared to 17 by the Cougars) and tallied just 44 passes broken up (UH notched 61). The Seminoles, riding a five-game winning streak, jumped out to a 21-12 halftime lead before coming untracked.
Ayers is a dynamic athlete, but he will be going up against two of the best cornerbacks in the country in this game. I believe, the game will end up being an offensively driven and will be a battle of endurance between Ward and Cook. Maguire has done well in four starts for Florida State this season, passing for just over a thousand yards plus nine touchdowns. The Florida State offense is averaging 35.3 points per game with 244 passing yards per game and 180.9 rushing yards per game. His only loss as a came against Clemson. Houston leads Florida State 12-2-2 all-time. The junior has been Ward’s favorite option and will play the biggest role outside of Ward in the team’s offense.

This game will be much closer than people think. The first team to flinch offensively will go home empty handed in what will be a great game to being the New Year’s Six bowl games.
