Two years ago, Indiana was one of the best teams in the Big Ten and it looked like Tom Allen was building quite the program in Bloomington, but the Hoosiers came crashing back down to earth in 2021 with a 2-10 season. Everyone has bailed on the Hoosiers and I’m right there with them.

However, Indiana always seems to give Michigan State a tough time, dating back to the Mark Dantonio days and this game will probably be no different.

Michigan State eventually wins by a couple of scores, but it won’t feel comfortable throughout.

Prediction: Win (9-2, 6-2)

A familiar way to end the season, Michigan State will face Penn State in the battle for the beautiful Land Grant Trophy. This time, Michigan State will head to Happy Valley.

The Spartans got the best of James Franklin and Penn State last year, winning by three points in East Lansing in a blizzard-filled evening matchup. Will the Nittany Lions get revenge this time around?

Honestly, this game is a toss-up but I think Beaver Stadium is one of the toughest places to play in all of college football and Michigan State will fall just short in front of a raucous road crowd.

Prediction: Loss (9-3, 6-3)
