Big Ten Champion?




On November 22 up at Happy Valley we will decide who the Big Ten champion will be. The #8 Lions will look to secure the championship with a win. However the #15 Spartans need to win at Penn State in front of a hostile crowd and need #10 Ohio State to lose in order to be crown the Big Ten champ. If they win and Ohio State wins then they will both share the Big Ten tittle. However Ohio State would make the rose bowl because they beat Michigan State during the season.#10 Ohio State can win the big ten title with a win and a Nittany Lions loss. In order for the Nittany Lions to win this game they need to score points on offense and they have to stop Javon Ringer. Daryll Clark needs to play well, and he can't make any mistakes. The offense relies on him. He is the man that gets everything going. If he doesn't play well than the Lions could lose this game. The Offensive Line needs to do good to. They need to block for Evan Royster. If they can block for him than Michigan State will be in trouble. I have seen Royster run and when he gets blocking than he can make things happen. The Lions have to contain Javon Ringer on defense. If Javon gets some blocking than he will run all over PSU. The Key for Michigan State to win is to run the ball well and force turnovers. Michigan State is a better running team than a passing team in my opinion. On defense they have to play tough and force turnovers. The Spartans must play good in order to win this game. Penn State has a good offense and they have to stop them, or they will lose

Key Players:
Penn State- Daryll Clark, Evan Royster, Derrick Williams, Penn State's Defense
Michigan State- Javon Ringer, Brian Hoyer,Mark Dell, Michigan State's Defense

Prediction:
Penn State- 35
Michigan State- 17
Why?- Penn State dreams of making the national championship game was shattered two weeks ago against Iowa, and they will not lose this game. They want that rose bowl birth and they will get it. They are playing at home for the big ten title. There is going to be over 100,000 people at the game. Look for the crowd to play a factor in the game.
