Outback Bowl: Michigan State vs Georgia

Some of my favorite players will be lining up against one another in the Spartan / Bulldog clash.

A cornerback for MSU, (#5) Johnny Rodgers , a player who never shuts up… he is forever letting offensive players (especially wide receivers) know about their shortcomings. Adams is clearly someone to watch and how the Georgia players will react to his chatter. Also, (#82) Keshawn Martin, a wide receiver for the Spartans and one of the quickest players in the Big Ten. This guy has the speed to play in the SEC, however, I suspect he would be just another fast guy in that league. Check out Martin’s speed vs SEC quickness… should be fun to watch.

For Georgia, their QB (#11) Aaron Murray, is one of the best duel threat (pass / run) quarterbacks in the country.  Although he struggled at times this year, Murray is someone who will have a lot to say about today’s winner.

Georgia has the 3rd ranked defense in the country and possesses the speed to confuse MSU QB, Kirk Cousins, who is prone to making ill advise throws @ ill advised times. To make matters worse for the Spartans, their running game (led by RB’s Edwin Baker & LeVeon Bell) has not faced a defense with Georgia’s speed. This may well put the outcome in the hands of Cousins’,  his decision making, and Martin and BJ Cunningham’s ability to get separation from the Bulldog secondary. Not an easy task for the wide outs and Cousins tendency to force things….. do not bode well for the Spartans.
