The No. 10-ranked Michigan State Spartans enter the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl game with a 10-2 overall record and will be the acting home team at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for Thursday’s matchup with the 11-2 Pittsburgh Panthers. Kickoff for the New Year’s Six bowl is set for 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time and the game will be broadcast on ESPN.
Thursday’s contest marks the first matchup between Pittsburgh and Michigan State since 2007, and just the eighth the time the programs have met overall. While the two teams tied in 1960, the Panthers have never defeated the Spartans (MSU leads 6-0-1 all-time).
