Illinois 3-2 travel to take on the mighty Spartans who are 6-0 this year and have climbed into a # 13 spot in the AP poll. This will be a homecoming game for sparty.
Michigan State has some quality wins this year, with W's over Michigan, Wisconsin and Notre Dame.
State is a very physical team that was evident in the last game vs Michigan as state just kept pounding the ball forward on the ground with a trio of good physical backs. They play a very well balanced offense combining passing (265ypg) and running (225ypg).
State is going to run the football but can they run on the Illinois Defense? No single back this year has rushed for 100 yards vs Illinois Defense. Last game vs Penn State they held the lions to 65 yards net rushing.
This is going to be a great football game and I think Illinois will give Mich St some real matchup problems. (More to follow on that). The field at spartan stadium is natural grass actually it is called turf grass. Turf Grass is made up of over 9 varieties of Kentucky blue grass.
Illinois loves to run on grass rolling up 275 yards on Penn State last week.
