vs.

#11 Wisconsin @ #24 Michigan State – 3:30 PM ET on ABC

It seems like the Spartans start every season 4-0 doesn’t it? Then they have a game against some real competition and it all starts to unravel. This year’s Big Ten opener is against Wisconsin which proved nothing in pounding poor, innocent Austin Peay. The Spartans have won their last two at home against the Badgers and have one of the better schedules in the conference as they miss OSU completely this season. To have a really good year as opposed to a “Humanitarian Bowl good year” they need a victory this week. The Badgers are predictable so coach Dantonio knows what he has to do. He just has to get his volatile club to perform.
