There’s some reason to feel more optimistic than normal if you’re an Indiana fan heading into Saturday night’s matchup against last year’s Big Ten champs.
Despite the Hoosiers’ stumble against Wake Forest, Michigan State’s coming off a 30-6 beatdown loss at the hands of Wisconsin at home. And they’ll be without at least one — and possibly two — of their stars in the middle of what’s normally a stout Mark Dantonio defense.
Dantonio announced today that Jon Reschke will miss significant time with an ankle injury, while defensive leader and All-Big Ten selection Riley Bullough is still listed second on the depth chart and is day to day after missing the Wisconsin game.
