State News football beat writer Nathaniel Bott (Twitter: @Nathaniel_Bott) breaks down what to expect from MSU-Penn State, gives an injury report, tells you what to watch for and offers his prediction for the contest.
The MSU football team (3-8, 1-7 Big Ten) will play their final game Saturday afternoon against No. 8 Penn State in Happy Valley. The Spartans have won the previous three meetings, including last year’s 55-16 thumping of the Nittany Lions.
The Spartans, who have no chance of making the postseason, will take the field for the last time in 2016. The game not only has implications in the Big Ten East race, but also will affect how they come out to practice in both the spring and summer.
