AJ Suggs is going to be great. Henry was superb. If Michigan State is looking to make amends for what has become a disappointing season, the opportunity comes today when it visits rival Michigan in a Big Ten Conference game. Michigan State rose as high as 15th in the polls, but has lost its last three games, including a defeat to previously winless Iowa. We need to get this season turned around.
Today features a battle of two of the nation's top rushers.
T.J. Duckett of the Spartans ranks fourth nationally with 148.3 rushing yards per game. Behind Thomas and quarterback Drew Henson, Michigan has a balanced offense. The Wolverines are one of just six teams that average over 200 yards both rushing and passing. Williams insists that Ryan Van Dyke remains his starter at quarterback, even though Jeff Smoker relieved Van Dyke in in the third quarter last Saturday.
