Re: Football is Life...The Rest is just Details. (NCAA 11)

Battle for the Megaphone

The Megaphone Trophy is awarded each year to the winner of the football game between the University of Notre Dame and Michigan State University. It was introduced in 1949. The Notre Dame side of the trophy is blue, while the Michigan State side is green. The rivalry includes many great games, such as The Game of the Century, arguably the greatest college football game ever played. Notre Dame currently leads the all-time series 45-28-1.

Preview:
MSU needs to get the running game going early in this one, too keep Notre Dames high powered offense off the field as much as possible. Also, Cousins needs to keep playing at a high level if MSU wants to keep the megaphone trophy 2 consecutive years.
