The 2018 edition of the battle for the Old Brass Spittoon takes place on Saturday night in Bloomington, as the Michigan State Spartans and Indiana Hoosiers open conference play against each other.
The Spartans are coming off of a tough loss followed by bye week. The Hoosiers, on the other hand, are off to a hot start and 3-0 record.
Michigan State has dominated Indiana historically, but the Hoosiers generally hang tough with the Spartans, especially the past couple of years. The 24th-ranked Spartans have had their issues against up-tempo offenses in 2018, and Indiana will look to exploit that.
