I wouldn’t count on that. MSU can defend PSU’s rushing game and Ringer won’t do much against PSU’s front 7. Hoyer does scare me though.
Should say MSU CAN’T defend PSU’s rushing game. As to the question above about the potential rematch in the Rose Bowl with Oregon State - if both teams win out and PSU isn’t in the top 2 of the BCS, they will play again. There is nothing anyone (meaning ANYONE) can do about it.
