Michigan State offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan believes the Spartans' prospects against arch-rival Michigan will be decided on the ground. As the annual showdown approaches, Sheridan emphasized that establishing a consistent rushing attack will be the key factor in determining the outcome of the highly anticipated Big Ten matchup.
The rivalry game, one of college football's most storied contests, traditionally features physical, grind-it-out football. Sheridan's assessment aligns with historical trends where control of the line of scrimmage and time of possession have often dictated the winner.
