Sole possession of first place in the Big Ten East Division will be on the line when No. 13 Michigan State (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) plays at No. 11 Ohio State (7-2, 5-1) on Saturday (Noon, FOX).
The Spartans are coming off a 27-24 win against Penn State for their second victory of the season against a top-10 opponent while the Buckeyes were routed 55-24 at Iowa.
Ohio State has a 30-15 all-time record against Michigan State, but the teams have alternated wins and losses each of the last six years.
