Game Preview: Youngstown State Penguins vs. Michigan State Spartans

Coming off of an impressive road win against the Northwestern Wildcats last week, the Michigan State Spartans take on the Youngstown State Penguins on Saturday at Spartan Stadium for MSU’s 2021 home opener. The game kicks off at noon Eatsern Time (12:01 p.m. to be exact) and can be watched on the Big Ten Network.

Youngstown State is a NCAA Football Championship Subdivision opponent, and the first FCS foe that Michigan State has faced off against since Furman in 2016. Michigan State is 6-0 all-time against FCS opponents, including 2-0 against Youngstown State.

On paper, this looks like it should be an easy victory for the Spartans, but strange things can happen in any given college football game.
