Big Ten Week 13: Michigan State Slides, Penn State Rebounds, Michigan Likely Without Justice Haynes

Quarterback injuries, protection woes, plus a marquee backfield loss are reshaping the Big Ten’s late-season outlook.

Overview

  • Michigan State fell to 3-7 and 0-7 in the Big Ten with a 28-10 loss to Penn State, extending its skid to seven games.
  • Spartans quarterback Alessio Milivojevic has been sacked 12 times over two starts as an injury-hit, youthful offensive line struggles, while Aidan Chiles is in a walking boot and remains uncertain for Iowa.
  • FanDuel opened Iowa as a 16.5-point favorite over Michigan State, and the Spartans’ Nov. 29 finale vs. Maryland is set for 7 p.m. at Ford Field on FS1.
  • Penn State featured Kaytron Allen’s 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns and Dani Dennis-Sutton’s two sacks plus a third blocked punt of the season, with both players earning Big Ten weekly honors.
  • Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said leading rusher Justice Haynes is probably out for the final two regular-season games after foot surgery, with Jordan Marshall day-to-day following a 24-22 win at Northwestern despite five turnovers.
