Michigan State:
The Spartans are coming off a 38-13 loss to UCLA last Saturday — their third straight defeat of the season. They were outgained 418-253 in total offense, as struggles continue on both sides of the ball. Michigan State currently ranks 16th in the Big Ten and 110th in the FBS with just 331.7 total yards per game. Defensively, they are last in the Big Ten and 120th in the FBS, allowing 31.8 points per game.
“We’re at the halfway point, [we] talked about it in the locker room just now, three and three. That’s the reality,” said MSU head coach Jonathan Smith after the loss. “We’ve gotten beat the last three weeks coming out, and we’ve got to work to fix some things that we can fix, but we’ve got to be able to play in the manner that we win way more one-on-ones than we did today.”
Indiana:
The Hoosiers improved to 6-0 with a 30-20 statement victory over then-No. 3 Oregon last Saturday. It was the program’s second-ever win over an AP top-5 opponent and first top-5 road win. The win lifted the Hoosiers four spots up to No. 3 in this week’s AP Poll — the program’s highest ranking ever.
Now in their second year under head coach Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers are 17-2 since his arrival and 12-0 at home — the longest streak in program history and the third-longest active streak in the FBS.
