Redshirt junior wide receiver Jalen Nailor tied a school record with three TD receptions on five catches for 221 yards (the fourth highest receiving total in school history) in the Rutgers win.

Hoosiers Struggle vs. Top 10 Teams

The Hoosiers are coming off a much-needed bye week. They have lost to three Top 10 teams in Iowa, Cincinnati and Penn State, while winning against Idaho and Western Kentucky.

Indiana redshirt junior quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has completed 87-of-162 passes for 939 yards with four TDs and seven interceptions.

This will be the 68th meeting between the two schools, with the Spartans leading the all-time series, 48-17-2, including an impressive 22-10-1 road record at Indiana. Last year, Indiana shutout Michigan State on the road, 24-0.

Who Will Win?

Prediction: Penix beat the Spartans on the road last year in shutout fashion, so he knows how to win against these guys.

However, Penix is a different player, and Michigan State is a different team than last year. Michigan State rolls on to its seventh straight win. Michigan State 37, Indiana 17.
