Overview

  • Both teams arrive 2-0 for Michigan State’s final nonconference game before next week’s Big Ten opener at USC.
  • Youngstown State QB Beau Brungard has 409 rushing yards and six TDs in two games, including an MVFC single-game QB rushing record of 264 yards.
  • MSU QB Aidan Chiles has opened with five touchdown passes and no interceptions after a four-TD outing in the double-overtime win vs. Boston College.
  • Protection remains a focal issue for the Spartans after eight sacks allowed through two games, with offensive line combinations still in flux.
  • MSU’s latest depth chart lists DB Caleb Gash out and DB Nikai Martinez questionable, while forecasts call for mild conditions with a roughly 25% chance of rain and no major sportsbooks posting a line as SP+ projects 36–16.
