MSU D-line may gave had something to do with Wake's difficulties on offense. Front four: 2nd team all B1G, 3rd team and HM. Probably the second best D-line Wake faced.
Yep, MSU was pretty good, especially on D. They lost 5 games in a row this year to #2 OSU, #8 Wisconsin, #10 PSU, #14 Michigan, and Illinois. Their other loss was to Arizona State, who also beat #6 Oregon. They also have a good program and were in the college football playoffs 4 years ago.
