Latest Odds : MSU -21.5
The Golden Hurricanes may have some type of a solution for their quarterback issues they had last year. The solution is none other than a transfer, not the best way to bring in talent, in the form of Zach Smith. Smith comes from Baylor and he was very impressive against Oklahoma with 463 yards and 4 touchdowns. The problem that comes with that is the Golden Hurricanes now have to make sure the receivers are able to catch the ball.
Defensively Tulsa has ended up improving quite a bit on the year compared to what they have been able to do before. That comes from some great recruitment and increasing the talent pool. Now, what else will help out is the fact that the Golden Hurricanes only have to replace2 players in the defensive backfield and those replacements while being younger still have quite a bit of talent.

The Spartans have ended up playing some great ball last year at times, but were disappointed with a 7-6 record. The Spartans now are returning quite a bit of talent on the offensive side of the ball with 8 starters coming back. That even includes quarterback Brian Lewerke who has done really well for the Spartans when he was healthy.
With the defense the Spartans are going to look amazing. The team is bringing back 8 starters out of the 11 from a team that was ranked in the top 10 overall. However, one thing that the Spartans do have to do is make sure the defense is fine tuned and ready to take over the games later on in the season and that will help them out in this game as well.

Tulsa is coming into this game to face the Spartans and with a newer quarterback and a new offense it could be very difficult for the Golden Hurricanes to move the ball in this game. The Spartans offense can have an easy time moving the ball against the Golden Hurricanes as well and that will definitely help the Spartans blow this game open. Final Score, Michigan State Spartans win and cover ATS 56-3.
