Michigan State football will look to snap a two-game losing streak in a tough road test at Illinois on Saturday afternoon. If the Spartans are going to do so, they’ll need a strong performance from its defense.
Michigan State heads to Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a Big Ten matchup against Illinois. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 2:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on Fox Sports 1.
The Spartans come into the matchup with losses in five of their last six games, including a current two-game losing streak. Michigan State is 4-5 overall and will need to win two of its final three games to reach bowl eligibility this year.
