[NU Sports] Next week -- stat breakdown

[J.R. McCullough]

In looking at the MSU vs. NU stat breakdown on bigten.org, I see some things to give us confidence. 

* MSU is last in the conference in sacks allowed 
* MSU is last in the conference in FGs
* MSU is 9th in the conference in pass defense (we're 10th)

Looks like it's going to be a scoring fest again through the air next week. 

Things that concern me. 

* MSU is third in the conference in rush defense. We're 10th (ouch)

They also seem to have two legitimate running backs. 

We might be able to steal one up there if we get some turnovers, keep the pedal down on offense, and contain their running attack. Also, if it comes down to special teams, I think we have the edge.
