When: Jan. 2 at 8 p.m. (central) on ESPN
Where: San Antonio, Texas
What to watch for: The Red Raiders boast the best passing offense in the Big 12, and the Spartans have the worst passing defense in the Big Ten. This should be the difference in the ball game. If Sparty doesn't stop the pass, they will not win this one. Another factor in this one is how the Spartans will react to not having eight of its players on the squad. Michigan State will be without WR's B.J. Cunningham, Mark Dell and Fred Smith, RB Ashton Leggett, CB Chris Rucker, LB/S Brynden Trawick, DT Ishmyl Johnson and DE Jamiihr Williams.
Cunningham and Dell rank second and third for the Spartans in receiving yards, respectively, whil Leggett had 125 rushing yards and four touchdowns for the Spartans.
Prediction: Texans always Remember the Alamo. There is just too much going against Sparty in this game. Texas Tech's offense is too prolific and the suspensions will hurt Mark Dantonio's squad. Red Raiders win this one, 38-14.
