Free Press sports writers share their predictions for the Michigan State Spartans' game against the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday in College Park (3:30 p.m., Fox Sports 1):
Carlos Monarrez
Gonna be another ugly one for the Spartans, who face a tough offense on the road. Michigan State’s only hope is that dynamic quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, who helped the Terrapins take a brief lead on Michigan last week, is either hobbled or out with knee and rib injuries. It won’t be as bad as the last road loss for the Spartans, but the defense is a mess and Payton Thorne seems to be regressing after a terrible game against the Gophers.
