MSU has, in the past, loved the sloppy weather and proven resilient in it while Ohio State floundered last year against the Spartans.

The ball will be slick and that may cause problems for the Buckeyes as they are typically in the shotgun. There could be multiple turnovers on both sides of the ball.
