Michigan has much talent in their wide receiving corps. Kekoa Crawford, Grant Perry and Donavan Peoples-Jones, to name a few. They have speed and height. Florida found out how dangerous Crawford is.

Michigan State loves putting its cornerbacks on islands, however, Scott is needs to have a better game than he did against Iowa. He got burned for a 30-yard bomb and there was another pass that had him trailing the receiver.

Michigan loves to lull a defense to sleep with their run-run-pass type of offense. Then they hit you with the play-action pass and have had much success with it.

The coaching staff is confident in him and he has learned some valuable lessons for a true freshman cornerback. Michigan will try to pick on him. Scott must prove himself to be the lock-down corner that fans and coaches have raved about, otherwise it will be a long night. It’ll be a great game and a tight contest. I hope MSU is able to bring its ‘A’ game.
