The Land Grant Trophy is on the line as Penn State visits Michigan State Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium. Both teams sit at 3-6, making this matchup a battle between winless Big Ten squads trying to salvage their seasons and keep bowl hopes alive.
For the Nittany Lions, the rivalry game comes a month after the firing of longtime coach James Franklin. Interim coach Terry Smith nearly pulled off a major upset last week against No. 2 Indiana only to see victory slip away in the final minutes. Meanwhile, the Spartans enter the contest off a bye and an overtime loss at Minnesota, tying their longest losing streak in nine years.
Penn State will lean on its dynamic running back duo, Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, both chasing career milestones, while Michigan State will start redshirt freshman Alessio Milivojevic at quarterback after he impressed in his first career start two weeks ago in a loss at Minnesota.
