Michigan State football is getting set to enter its final stretch of games, and that begins on Saturday afternoon in East Lansing against Penn State.
Who would have thought before the season that this Week 12 showdown with Penn State would be a battle not only for the Land Grant Trophy, but for each team’s first Big Ten win of the season. Both Michigan State and Penn State are winless heading into Saturday’s contest, but the Nittany Lions at least have a valid reason — they fired James Franklin.
Jonathan Smith and Michigan State don’t have that excuse.
