Florida Atlantic University

This Saturday, the Spartans face Florida Atlantic University.  FAU is another weaker team, which we should expect the Spartans to dominate. Last week FAU was crushed by Florida (41-3). The gators held FAU to an embarrassing 63 yards of offense in the first half. What's to stop us from doing something similar? I am looking for the Spartans to do something similar to what Florida did to FAU. Give it to the running backs and let them run circles around the defense. Gator running backs Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey combined for 184 yards last Saturday. With MSU having some of the most talented running backs in the nation we should look for a similar result. The FAU secondary did manage solid results, however, racking up 3 interceptions against Florida.  Still, Cousins is pretty good at avoiding interceptions.  He didn't throw any interceptions last week.  If for some reason the Spartans' passing game struggles, the running game should still be able to pull this one out.  Hopefully, the O-line will play better this week and MSU's running backs will look a much better than against Youngstown State.
