The Chippewas are off to a rough start this season, going just 1-3 through four games, recording their first win over Maine, 17-5. It wasn’t pretty, but it could have been the win to get the Chips back on track. However, they’re going through a quarterback change that may shake up their entire offense.

Michigan State, on the other hand, has been struggling on the offensive side of the ball, and it’s not due to the quarterback situation as Brian Lewerke is having a solid junior campaign — it’s the offensive line. That unit will need to prove its dominance against Central’s front-seven.

The run game must get going against the Chippewas Saturday, but the line may have maxed out its potential for the season — and that’s not a good thing.
