5*
(NCAAF) Wisconsin vs. Michigan State,
Point Spread: -3.50 | -105.00 Michigan State (Home)
Result: Loss
Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst made a bold move by making a QB change the week of playing at one of the Big 10's most hostile environments at Michigan St here. The really big deal here is that the replacement is redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook, making his first start on the road at Michigan State, which just won at South Bend. I expected this spread to be 7 or more. On offense, Michigan State has gotten good production from Tyler O'Connor. The senior QB has completed 73% of his passes in the early going, throwing for 431 yards and five touchdowns. He spreads the ball around well with five different MSU receivers splitting those touchdown receptions and O'Connor is a tough runner that is not afraid to use his legs to pick up a key first down. LJ Scott is grinder at running back, getting stronger as the game goes on and he has found the endzone twice already. Play the Spartans.
