After meandering to a 1-3 (0-1 MAC) record, the Central Michigan Chippewas face their toughest test of the season so far on Saturday when they take on the #18/#21 Michigan State Spartans on the road. After coming off of a lackluster win against FCS Maine at home, MSU looks to be a tough test for the rebuilding Chippewas.
The Spartans (2-1, 1-0 B1G) have been more or less their usual selves in 2018 with an offense that is sound (but not overwhelming) and a defense that limits big plays. After winning a 38-31 scare at home against Utah State, MSU fell to a resurgent Arizona State team 16-13 in the desert.
