3. Michigan State will give up the big play

It happened against Bowling Green, Notre Dame and Iowa and it will most likely happen again with Michigan. Michigan State will give up that huge pass play.

The Spartans were fortunate enough to have Iowa’s Nathan Stanley miss on some open receivers, but he did get burn Josiah Scott on a 30-yard bomb. That has been the trademark of this Mark Dantonio-led defense.

Michigan has big threats such as Kekoa Crawford and Grant Perry in the passing game. Also, the Wolverines boast a tremendous rushing attack led by Ty Issac.

Florida was exposed in all facets of the game by the Michigan offense. Due to the nature of the Spartan defense, they will bite hard on Michigan’s play action attack and this will provide some one-on-one matchups. They will go deep often against Sparty’s secondary.
