Michigan State skids into matchup with No. 2 Michigan
The Michigan State football program appears to be in disarray, yet the Spartans can salvage their season by defeating their heated rival in East Lansing on Saturday night.The skid includes a fourth-quarter collapse against Rutgers last week in which Michigan State squandered an 18-point lead. The Spartans haven't won a game since head coach Mel Tucker was suspended on Sept. 10 and subsequently fired amid sexual harassment allegations.
Spartans redshirt freshman quarterback Katin Houser threw two touchdown passes in his first career start, but a pair of special teams gaffes allowed the Scarlet Knights to rally. Houser replaced Noah Kim, as Barnett felt the need to shake things up. Michigan won last year's meeting 29-7, a contest that is mainly remembered for some Spartans players scuffling with their counterparts in the Michigan Stadium tunnel, including a helmet-swinging incident.
The Wolverines have looked more dominant every week. They have won their four conference games by an average of 37.3 points.
