IU football linebackers Micah McFadden, Cam Jones relish the matchup with Michigan State's Kenneth Walker

BLOOMINGTON — Cam Jones and Micah McFadden live for matchups like this one.

Indiana desperately needs a win to turn its 2-3 season around and its first opportunity to get one out of its bye week comes noon Saturday at Memorial Stadium against No. 9 Michigan State, which is 6-0 after finishing last season 2-5. If the Hoosiers have any hope of pulling off the upset, they probably have to at least contain Spartans running back Kenneth Walker III, the Wake Forest transfer who leads the nation with 913 rushing yards.

As the Hoosiers' starting linebackers, Jones and McFadden relish the chance to chase Walker and bring him down.
