For the first time this season, there's only one Big Ten game involving a local team this weekend. But Michigan State fans will be jazzed to welcome home their conquering heroes Saturday.

Michigan State 40, Indiana 27. To be clear, Indiana isn't just a threat to make this game interesting. The Hoosiers can come into Spartan Stadium and win if the Spartans aren't completely on their game and IU quarterback Nate Sudfeld brings his best.
