2 huge games take place tomorrow in Michigan. Obviously #1 is the NMU vs Quincy game. The second biggest is my Ducks vs the Spartans of East Lansing.
This is Oregon's biggest road test of the year. Last year this was the greatest COLLEGE football game I've ever been to, because nothing tops that Niners Saints NFC Divisional Playoff game in 2011. Now onto the game...
Offense
Our offense will be just fine against sparty barring any lasting damage from Vernon Adams concussion that he miraculously recovered from last game. Royce will have no be a beast which he doesn't seem to have issues doing. Everyone on ESPN "thinks" this is going to be a cake walk for the Spartans but when has ESPN every said something smart. They act like Vernon Adams has never played football in his life and not the top Quarterback in FCS in the past 3 years.
Defense
Last year Connor Cook was in the top 5 of quarterbacks with plays over 20 yards, which was better than Marcus. After last weeks show that could be a very large problem because our secondary "was a BAD one". Granted after the game our DC Don Pellum said that all we ran in the second half was a cover 2 and a cover 4 as to not tip our cards but we will see. Canton Kaumatule will be healthy and returning to the D line and Charles Nelson will be back and healthy at the DB position.
Special Teams
This is where we have our biggest advantage. Sparty gave up some HUGE plays to Central Michigan. And our Special teams is the best in the nation. Could be a huge factor.
Prediction: Ducks 42- MSU 38
