Nick Marsh is a stud. That’s not new news, but he’s legit. A highlight third down grab for 33 yards moved the chains for the Spartans, and Aziah Johnson and Montorie Foster also got in on the action, setting up a 47-yard field goal by Jonathan Kim.

Three and out

Much has been made about Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke and his injured thumb. Hard to say how he’s doing on that first drive, but it’s a three and out. Insult first.

Defend the Spartans first

First place Hoosiers vs. Michigan State in East Lansing. Nice.

Michigan State opens the final third of the season at home against undefeated Indiana.

After a loss to rival Michigan last week, the Spartans (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) must win two of their final four games to become bowl eligible, something the program hasn’t accomplished since 2021. of the remaining four games are in East Lansing.
