Get to Know the Opponent: Indiana

The Spartans open Big Ten play this week, coming off a bye week following their loss at Arizona State. It will be another night game for MSU, their third in a row to open the season. This week’s opponent is Indiana, a team that always seems to play the Spartans close, even if MSU is usually able to pull out the win. Two years ago the season started to come off the rails with an overtime loss in Bloomington, and this group will hope to avoid that fate this weekend.
