[NU Sports] AP Doesn't Like US

[Beamsley, Jeff]

UoM is going to have a tough time with MSU. They barely made it past IU. They remind me of the 2000 NU team. All O no D. 

If UoM can draw MSU into a shootout, they've got a chance. Otherwise, MSU is likely to just grind the UoM D into dust with their running game.

If UoM plays a perfect offensive game, they may be able to keep it close, but  that's a tall order against what appears to be a fairly stout MSU D. 

Hope they have a big win in AA and then a big letdown against us.

Lots of big games coming up in this league, and when the Huskers join next year, the schedule is going to be packed with Big Ten showdowns week after week!
