This past Saturday, MSU went to Boston College and let a win slip through their fingers, falling 23-19 for their first defeat of the season. That is not the bad news though. Nope, that would be the realization that the hardest stretch of the schedule begins now, and that stretch starts with a matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes this Saturday in East Lansing.
This series has not been competitive in recent years, as OSU has beaten our Spartans by at least 20 points in each of the past seven seasons and have won eight straight overall. In fact, the last time MSU won a game against the Buckeyes was in 2015, the season that MSU made it to the College Football Playoffs.
