Now that I have learned via another thread on eGriz that the game is being shown at a local watering hole here in my neck of the woods, I feel compelled to throw out a prediction.
It doesn't sound like Dan Moore is anywhere near 100% but on Senior Day, I expect him to make an appearance. Even if he cannot be all that effective, I think the emotional boost will be immense. The Griz will be up for this game and it will be easily the most hostile environment that the Cats have been in this season.
UM has had some head-scratching losses but have also played EWU and ASU down to the wire on the road. MSU is the stronger team overall but they've had their struggles away from home. Their largest margin of victory on the road was 10 points, which was against Drake. They played one possession games with Southern Utah, Sac State and UC Davis, which leads me to believe this will be a tight game as well, especially with the rivalry factor.
I expect a back and forth affair, the only thing that would surprise me is a blowout.
