Overview

• Kickoff is set for 3:40 p.m. ET at Spartan Stadium, with television coverage on the Big Ten Network.
• Both teams are 2-0 after MSU’s 42-40 double-overtime win over Boston College and Youngstown State’s 56-17 victory over Robert Morris.
• MSU QB Aidan Chiles has opened with five touchdown passes and no interceptions, while YSU dual-threat Beau Brungard has rushed for 409 yards and six scores, including a 264-yard game.
• Pass protection remains a concern for the Spartans after allowing eight sacks in two games, a point of emphasis as they aim to keep Chiles upright.
• MSU lists multiple players as out or questionable on the latest report, and forecast calls for about 77°F with cloudy skies and a low chance of rain.
