East Lansing — Michigan State won on the road Sunday at Penn State with a lineup much more dependent on first-year players than at any point this season.

Expect the same thing when No. 6 Michigan State travels to Nebraska on Thursday as junior Joshua Langford almost certainly will miss his fifth game with an ankle injury, and fellow junior Kyle Ahrens is day-to-day with a back sprain.

That much was made clear by coach Tom Izzo at his weekly press conference Monday.

“As far as Josh and Kyle, it’s status quo,” Izzo said.
