Peach Bowl live updates: Michigan State vs. Pittsburgh

The 2021 Peach Bowl will reintroduce Michigan State fans to old friends, while forcing them to miss new ones.

Former Spartans defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, now with the Pitt Panthers, looks to knock his former program off a pedestal — but will be without starting quarterback and Heisman finalist Kenny Pickett.

Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne (10) throws for a touchdown during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind.

Heisman-contending running back Kenneth Walker III is also no-go for the Spartans, meaning that this game is ripe with opportunity for players looking to get their name out there as Michigan State's offensive attack is forced into a detour.
