Host Michigan State coming off bye week

Fresh off a bye week, the Michigan State Spartans, ranked No. 10, will be entering the clash.

After accumulating an impressive 997 rushing yards in the first seven games of the season, running back Kenneth Walker III is in dire need of some well-deserved rest. His exceptional performance has solidified him as a legitimate contender for the prestigious Heisman Trophy, as evidenced by his +1800 odds from DraftKings Sportsbook during the bye week. This recognition further highlights his exceptional skills and impact on the team.

This year, Coach Mel Tucker and the Spartans have triumphed over every opponent they’ve faced. In September, they celebrated a remarkable victory at Miami (Fla.), marking their impressive debut. The following week, they engaged in a thrilling overtime clash against Nebraska, ultimately prevailing with a score of 23-20.

On October 16, the team achieved their most recent triumph, a hard-fought defensive battle, with a final score of 20-15 against Indiana.

Tucker is currently in his second year at MSU, where he achieved a remarkable victory over the No. 13 Wolverines in Ann Arbor last year. Despite being considered four-touchdown underdogs, his team emerged victorious, winning by a score of 27-24.
