11 Wisconsin (4-0) vs. 24 Michigan State (4-0), 3:30pm, ABC There isn’t much that differs between these two Big Ten powerhouses. Both are undefeated, both have a key non-conference win, and both can run the ball down your throat. MSU looks to start the season 5-0 for the first time 1999, as coach Mark Dantonio hopes to retake the helm after missing last week’s game due to a heart attack he suffered two weeks ago.
Spartan’s QB Kirk Cousins is completing 67 percent of his passes and they have also run the ball for more than 200 yards each game with Edwin Baker and Le'Veon Bell in the backfield. Similarly, Wisconsin's John Clay has 501 yards rushing and six touchdowns this season, while QB Scott Tolzien is completing 76 percent of his passes.
Prediction: This one will be a thriller between two evenly matched opponents. But, consider home field advantage. Look for Michigan St. to edge this one out, heading into Michigan undefeated next week.
