Not a whole lot to say about this one. The Spartans were able to bounce back and take care of the Big Ten's worst team at home after losing that abortion of a game in State College last week. It wasn't a blowout by any means, but just watching you got the feeling the Wildcats really had no chance to win from the very start. The Spartans didn't play a great game, but they did enough to get the job done successfully enough and get ready for a big week coming up. On Tuesday MSU heads down to West Lafayette to take on the surprising 10-1 Purdue Boilermakers who are coming off yet another big win over Wisconsin. I've questioned Wisconsin's legitimacy all season, so to me those wins don't look as big as they were in reality. I think that the Spartans should be able to put together a good game and beat a very inexperienced club as they did in east Lansing a month ago. After that is another huge game on Saturday in Bloomington to take on the Hoosiers. Indiana has a hellish week of their own, playing at 7-3 Ohio State on Sunday, at home versus 9-2 Wisconsin on Wednesday, and again on Saturday at home against the 8-2 Spartans. The game will cap a huge week for the top Big Ten teams as we begin to find out who the class of the conference is. I'm not sure exactly how the two teams match up, as this is their first meeting, but I of course like the Spartans out of sheer bias. I guess we'll find out a lot about the conference this week. As for the hapless Wildcats, they are eight losses from running the table in the conference for a perfect 0-18 record. I'd like to wish them all the best in achieving this milestone. Good luck, boys.
