Two games left for the Spartans in the regular season. A win this week gives them a pretty good shot at a New Year’s Day bowl, which would be a pretty acceptable outcome considering the ups and downs of this year.
This is the final road game of the season for Michigan State, who has gone 3-1 on the road so far, including winning all three Big Ten road games. The opponent this week is Nebraska, the first time the teams will face off since 2015.
