East Lansing — To say Michigan State will have its hands full Saturday at Indiana might be an understatement, specifically for the defense.
The Spartans will be short-handed, missing at least junior linebacker Jon Reschke (ankle) and possibly fifth-year senior linebacker Riley Bullough (shoulder). And trying to contain the second-rated offense in the Big Ten will be challenge — even at full strength.
The Hoosiers are averaging 516.7 yards per game, 334 passing. They’ll play up-tempo, challenging the depth of each team they play, and it’s been difficult for the Spartans to handle over the years, including in 2015 when a late barrage turned a tight game into a 52-26 blowout.
