Michigan State has won five of the last six meetings.
ABOUT PENN STATE (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten): The Nittany Lions were outgained by 134 yards and held the ball for only just over 22 minutes in the win over the Wolverines, but a handful of big plays - including a 53-yard bomb for a score from Sean Clifford to KJ Hamler in the fourth quarter - were the difference. Clifford ranks second in the Big Ten with 1,742 passing yards and 16 touchdown passes while Hamler tops the league with seven TD catches. The defense was limited to one sack versus Michigan but still ranks tied for fourth among FBS teams with 28, led by defensive ends Yetur Gross-Matos and Shaka Toney with 5.5 apiece.
ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (4-3, 2-2): Senior quarterback Brian Lewerke threw for just 53 yards and an interception before getting pulled in the fourth quarter of the 38-0 loss to Wisconsin. The ground game managed only 30 yards in the ugly defeat and it enters this one ranked 12th in the Big Ten with 117.1 per game. Senior wide receiver Darrell Stewart Jr. leads the conference with 683 receiving yards.
