Look to the stars and see the signs.

Opening thoughts

WOO HOO NIGHT GAME.

Nope, nothing you can say about the depleted depth chart will make me question the joy of a night game.

Keys to the game

  • Score points. No seriously, MSU’s defense might not let us do this and we really kinda need to.
  • Win the turnover battle...and actually score points when we do. I’m not kidding that we need to score points, especially if we force turnovers.
  • Pressure the quarterback. I STILL WANT SACKS.

How afraid am I?

On a scale of 1 to 5 "Brewsters on his face" (1 being not a afraid, 5 being very afraid)?

In honor of the night game, I am 4 Brewsters on a star chart afraid of Michigan State. This could be a bleach game if we’re not careful.

Prediction

We’re probably going to lose and I can’t predict otherwise just because it’s a night game and I’ll be there.

Michigan State, 27 - Minnesota, 10

What’s your prediction?
