Check out all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Nittany Lions

Michigan State football is taking its talents to Ford Field on Friday night.

The Spartans will face rival Penn State on Black Friday in a neutral-field matchup at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. The game will be the season finale for the Spartans, who remain somewhat alive for a bowl bid.

Michigan State is 4-7 overall and 2-6 in conference play, with wins in two of their last three games. If Michigan State were to beat Penn State on Friday night, they would enter Saturday with an outside chance at receiving a bowl bid should there not be enough bowl-eligible teams.

Penn State comes into this final regular season game sitting at 9-2 overall and 6-2 in conference play. Like last year, the Nittany Lions would most likely lock up a New Year’s Six bowl bid with a win over the Spartans in the regular season finale.

Michigan State football will wrap up the regular season on Friday night in a neutral-field matchup against Penn State.

The Spartans and Nittany Lions will tangle up at Ford Field in Detroit in a nationally televised matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on NBC.

Michigan State enters this matchup with wins in two of their last three games, including a narrow victory over the Hoosiers this past weekend. Michigan State is 4-7 overall and 2-6 in Big Ten play. The Spartans have a very slim chance of still receiving a bowl bid should they win this game and things bounce their way in other matchups involving teams looking to reach bowl eligibility.

Penn State enters this matchup looking to hit double-digits in wins for a second straight year and earn a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl game. The Nittany Lions are 9-2 overall and 6-2 in Big Ten play, with their lone two losses coming against Ohio State and Michigan.

Michigan State football tops Penn State in snowy battle, finishes regular season 10-2

Victory for MSU! Michigan State tops Penn State to finish the regular season 10-2

[mm-video type=video id=01fn7d6zm7hyzjb8syf9 playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fn7d6zm7hyzjb8syf9/01fn7d6zm7hyzjb8syf9-c73ce13c2aa6dc78da76d96e1ea6ddce.jpg]

Michigan State football outlasted Penn State in a snowy, back-and-forth battle to pick up their 10th win of the year, 30-27, on Saturday. With the win, the Spartans finished the regular season 10-2 and a perfect 6-0 at home.

The Spartans used a fast start and pair of critical turnovers in the fourth quarter to pick up the win. Michigan State’s Heisman contending running back Kenneth Walker III led the Spartans again offensively with 138 yards and a touchdown.

Michigan State got off to a great start, with two scoring drives to open the game and take a 14-0 lead over Penn State. The Spartans’ first score came on a two-yard Walker rushing touchdown — which capped off a 76-yard drive — and the second touchdown came on a reception from Tre Mosley on 3rd-and-goal from nine yards out. The Mosley touchdown was the final play of an incredible 99-yard drive.

The Spartans’ early lead was short-lived, however, with Penn State responding to Michigan State’s fast start. The Nittany Lions scored a pair of touchdowns — both of which coming on receptions from Jahan Dotson — to tie the game back up at 14-14 with 12:11 to go in the second quarter.

Michigan State would take the lead into halftime by the score of 17-14, with the final points of the opening frame coming on a 22-yard field goal from Matt Coghlin.

The second half opened up with the Nittany Lions taking their first lead of the game on a pick-six, but Michigan State was able to respond on the following drive to regain the lead. Michigan State led 23-20 at the end of the third quarter.

Michigan State would add to their lead late in the fourth quarter on a 4th-and-15 touchdown completion from Payton Thorne to Jayden Reed. The touchdown was from 20 yards out, and gave the Spartans a 30-20 lead with roughly five minutes to go in the game.

Penn State was able to drive the length of the field to score one more time in the final minute, but their onside kick attempt was recovered by Michigan State to close out the game.

Thorne ended the day 268 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Reed led the Spartans in receiving against Penn State with six receptions for 89 yards and one touchdown.

Michigan State will now wait to see where they’ll be playing in the bowl season. With the win, the Spartans will most likely land in a New Year’s Day bowl game, and potentially a New Year’s Six bowl as an at large. However,  we will know for sure next Sunday when the bowl games are revealed.
