I don't know, they did a pretty good job of shutting down Georgia yesterday, and while that's not an amazing offense it's not a bad one. Wisconsin's D had the stats but I never saw them as an elite D, MSU put up a lot of yards on them both times and that's not an incredibly explosive offense. Wisconsin also isn't built well to matchup with Oregon, not many teams are. I think the MSU D would have had a better day simply due to the speed they have at DE and OLB and the quality at CB and S. Add in an NFL calibre DT and it's a pretty tough team to move the ball on consistently. If Worthy comes back, which I doubt happens, they're definitely one of the better defenses in the country, but even without him they'll be pretty damn good as White has really come into his own at DT as well.
