Michigan State vs. Oregon

This game might end up being the best of the Big Ten’s bowl slate.

The Spartans collapsed down the stretch with the offense averaging nine points-per-game over the last three games. How many expect them keep pace with an offense that averages 37.2 points-per-game?

Except the Spartans’ have the No. 14 ranked scoring defense in the FBS. It held Ohio State’s offense to 17 points despite starting in unfavorable field position the entire game.

With the time off, I think Mark Dantonio will have his offense back on track, at least enough to keep this game close.

Michigan State wins 30-28.
