Will MSU Win the Rose Bowl?





Many people are uncertain whether or not Michigan State will defeat Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl.  








     The Michigan State football team is preparing for a Rose Bowl battle against Stanford University, on January 1st.  The Spartans are playing in the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1988, and this year marks the event's 100th year anniversary.  The Stanford Cardinal won the PAC-12 Conference, and finished the regular season with an 11-2 record.  Their two losses were at Utah 27-21, and at USC (University of Southern California) 20-17.  Michigan State won the Big-10 Conference, and finished the regular season with a 12-1 record.  The Spartans only loss this season came on the road against Notre Dame 17-13.
     Max Bullough was suspended from the team late last night for violation of team rules.  Bullough is a senior middle linebacker, and is a captain on the team.  Head Coach Mark Dantonio issued a statement, but did not go into detail about the incident.  Bullough made 76 tackles this season, and is considered to be the heart, and sole of the Spartans defense.  His presence will certainly be missed in Pasadena.

  1. The Spartans had no chance of winning before Bullough was suspended. Now Stanford will win by more then just a few touchdowns. Final score Stanford 45 - MSU 21

  2. The Michigan State defense was the best in the country, and not because of one person. Their defensive strategy, and total team effort is why they are so good. The Spartans will be fine without Bullough. Next man up!
