Notable:

• USF Coach Willie Taggart will be facing his second Big Ten team as a head coach. His WKU team fell at Indiana  (21-38)on Sept. 18, 2010. WKU also fell at Nebraska (then a member of the Big 12) that year, 49-10.

• USF will be playing just its second ever game against a Big Ten opponent. The Bulls fell at Penn State (13-23) in 2005. The MSU game will mark the first of eight games USF is scheduled to play vs. Big Ten foes over the next six seasons. The game is the first in a home-and-home series with MSU with a return game scheduled for Tampa in 2018.

• USF’s Rocky and MSU’s Sparty are two of 16 mascots nationally engaged in the Capital One Mascot Challenge.

• Senior runningback Marcus Shaw is coming of a career day in which he posted career highs in rushing (145), receiving (47), catches (5) and all-purpose yards (192) while leading the team in every category. He went a career-best 80 yards for a TD on USF’s first offensive play of the season and averaged 12.1 ypc on the day.

How much of an underdog will we be?

MSU -23.5 I believe right now.

 

Slow, plodding offense.

[Brad]

They have to be licking their chops...if we register at all.

 

Just the way we like it.

MSU -23.5 I believe right now.

 

Slow, plodding offense.

 

Which makes that line even more telling of where our team stands right now.  A lot of Sparties would be overjoyed to see 20 points scored.

[SpartanMacks]

MSU -23.5 I believe right now.

 

Slow, plodding offense.

 

If MSU scores 24 points, 21 of them will be from the defense.

You obviously didn't see our game. An FCS team hung half a hundred on us.
