The No. 17-ranked Michigan State Spartans bring a perfect 4-0 record into this weekend’s matchup against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (1-2) for the 2021 homecoming game. The Spartans will play under the lights for the second consecutive week, and third time this season, with a 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time (well, 7:40 p.m., if we want to be technical) kickoff at Spartan Stadium. The game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network. This is the first ever meeting between the two programs.
Let’s be clear about one thing — Western Kentucky is not a Group of Five cupcake program.
