Penn State is coming to East Lansing riding high after two straight wins over ranked opponents while the Spartans have had the exact opposite fate.
The Nittany Lions beat Iowa on the road two weeks ago before taking Michigan down in Happy Valley in Week 8 by seven points. Both tight wins were by one score, so that just shows the Nittany Lions are a beatable team.
Michigan State has lost two straight to top-10 teams at Ohio State and at Wisconsin in blowout fashion, but there’s some confidence coming back after a bye week. The Spartans usually play the Nittany Lions tough and have actually won four out of five in the series.
