Coaches Corner: Michigan State Preview:


Overall:
After being spanked by Ohio State last week, Michigan State will be looking to take out years of “Little Brother” frustration this week. The key for both teams will be the health of their starting quarterbacks. Both Hoyer and Threet are banged up.

Offense:
Michigan State is a good old-fashioned sprint draw and fullback lead offense. In addition, while Hoyer, if healthy, is a competent quarterback, and Mark Dell is a solid wide receiver, there is no doubt that the star of this team is Ringer. If Michigan is going to beat Michigan State they must stop, or at least slow down, Ringer.

Defense:
Michigan State is a base 4-3 team that utilizes a zone blitz scheme. The Spartans' leading tacklers are linebackers Greg Jones and Eric Gordan. The star of their defense is probably strong safety Otis Wiley, who is third in tackles and leads the team with four Interceptions.
