In what has been a surprising season for a Michigan State team picked to finish dead last in the Big Ten East during the preseason, the No. 12 Spartans sit at 9-2 and play host to the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, with kickoff set for 3:36 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC. Michigan State still has a lot to play for in the season finale.
Michigan State enters this game with a a long list of injuries, while the Penn State roster had 20-plus players sit out in last week’s victory over Rutgers due to a flu outbreak within the team.
