Michigan State Football: 5 reasons Spartans will beat Maryland in Week 12
1. Michigan State will play angry after OSU drubbing
In Week 10, a talented Ohio State team went on the road to face Iowa in a hostile environment game. The Buckeyes were dismantled by the Hawkeyes 55-24 and it looked like they might just be human after all. However, they proved to be just the opposite against Michigan State.

It’s impressive what can happen when a team plays angry, inspired football. The Buckeyes beat the Spartans 48-3, and Michigan State can thank Iowa for essentially hitting the beehive that was Ohio State with a stick. Maryland can thank Ohio State for doing that to the Spartans as Michigan State will come out and plat inspired ball against the Terrapins.
You won’t see a 48-3 drubbing like the Buckeyes handed the Spartans, but it won’t be all that close on Senior Day at Spartan Stadium. The defense will step up in a big way and shut down the struggling Maryland offense while the offense goes off against a mediocre Terps defense.
