Game 12 Preview: The Rutgers Scarlet Knights

MSU heads into the game against Rutgers on Saturday afternoon (3:30pm EST Kick) in a must-win situation to reach bowl eligibility, a 6-6 record, and a shot at finishing the season with a winning record, at 2.5 games above the pre-season over/under for wins. Rutgers comes into East Lansing on Saturday playing to reach 6-6 as well. Yes, technically they could walk home with their 7th win of the season, but this is Sparta and Rutgers, coming off a disappointing 39-31 loss to Illinois, will be playing to achieve their 6th loss.
