Michigan State is tied for first in the Big Ten in turnovers. Can quarterback Aidan Chiles clean up his mistakes long enough to stun Michigan on the road?
The Spartans are coming off a huge win over Iowa last weekend, following their bye week. They aim to build upon their recent success by beating the Michigan Wolverines this weekend.
“Aidan Chiles is the definition of 'chuck it deep and hope for the best,'" Cunningham said. "He has ten interceptions on the season and has thrown a pick in five of Michigan State’s seven games. It gets worse, though. He has committed 18 turnover-worthy plays, the most in college football. He’s also committed a turnover-worthy play in every game this season.
Cunningham noted that although Michigan is subpar at intercepting passes, it does have a formidable pass rush that could potentially pressure Chiles into critical mistakes. Nearly all of Chiles' interceptions this season have come under a collapsed pocket. "The Wolverines only have six interceptions on the season, but they have the best PFF Pass-Rushing grade in the nation," Cunningham. "This means Chiles is going to constantly be under pressure, so he’s more likely to throw an interception. Seven of his ten interceptions this season have come in a crowded pocket.
