Is Nick Marsh playing for Michigan State football vs. Ohio State?

In case you're not aware, there's a big game tonight between Ohio State and Michigan State football in East Lansing.

The Buckeyes are 3-0 on the year and have demolished every team in their path while the Spartans are 3-1 and probably should be 4-0 but a last-minute loss at Boston College last weekend was a crusher. Jonathan Smith still has this team playing well.

If the Spartans are going to upset the No. 3 team in the country on Saturday night, they'll have to play a near-perfect game. They'll have to cut down penalties drastically while also getting some key players back.

One of those key players is star freshman receiver Nick Marsh.

Marsh along with fellow talented wideout Jaron Glover were on the injury report all week and have each missed at least a game. Glover has missed the last two games while Marsh didn't play last week at Boston College. The Spartans could use both on Saturday night.

Well, it's already been reported that Glover is expected to return.

So is Marsh playing against the Buckeyes?

I'm not going to sit here and make declarations based on pictures from Marsh or his family, but he did share this on his Instagram which seems encouraging:

Again, this means nothing but it feels like he wouldn't post something like this if he wasn't planning on playing. He is a game-time decision, according to Pete Thamel, so we will probably find out an hour or so before kickoff if he'll be ready to go.

If I had to put an educated guess on a percentage that Marsh plays, I'd say somewhere in the 60-65 percent range. Michigan State needs him and he knows that.
