Iowa has not allowed a RB to rush over
105 yards in 20 straight games. Only Alabama has a longer streak. But, I think MSU will have to run the ball effectively to have success.

The Pwnership post
at Black Heart Gold Pants has a photo of the funniest Big 10 related vanity plate this Spartan has ever seen posted in the comments section. Definitely worth checking out.
I think you’re being diplomatic about Harris and Lucas. It’s possible that neither team would trade for the other but I bet UM gives the deal a lot longer pause. I think Lucas is the sort of player who can help raise you to a championship level. Harris is a very good player but I’m not sure he has that same extra quality.
My line of thinking
1) Beilein’s offense doesn’t utilize a true point guard, in part because they don’t look to run as much.
2) UM has needed as much help on the boards as possible the last couple years.
3) They want longer players to play the 1-3-1 zone.
4) Harris’ usage rate is significantly higher than Lucas’; hard to see who replaces those possessions on offense if you swapped the two players.

Ha, I can’t argue with any of that. You’ve got the data. I’m more calling upon the mythical powers of leadership, intangibles, and crunch-time playmaking.
