MSU Football reportedly could end Ryan Walters’ tenure at Purdue

If Michigan State beats Purdue on Friday night, then it could be curtains for Boilermakers head coach Ryan Walters

If Michigan State takes care of business and beats Purdue on Friday night, then it could be curtains for Boilermakers head coach Ryan Walters.

College football insider Pete Nakos of On3 is reporting that Friday night’s matchup between Purdue and Michigan State is a “huge game” for Walters’ future. Walters is in his second season at Purdue and would be owed $9.5 million if he was let go after this season.

Purdue is 1-9 on the year and has lost nine straight games. The Boilermakers lone win came in the season-opener against FCS foe Indiana State.

Michigan State comes into this game as a near two-touchdown favorite over the Boilermakers. This is a massive game for the Spartans as well, with Michigan State needing to win both of its final two games to reach bowl eligibility.

Prediction and betting odds for MSU vs. Purdue in Week 13

Analyzing Friday’s Michigan State-Purdue game with odds and lines, predictions and best bets

For only the second time this year, Michigan State is listed as a favorite over an FBS opponent.

Michigan State football returns home on Friday night in a nationally televised matchup against Purdue. The Spartans enter this game as a sizable favorite, which is the first time they’ve been listed as a favorite since the season-opener against Florida Atlantic. There wasn’t an official line posted for the Spartans’ third game of the season against FCS foe Prairie View A&M, and Michigan State has otherwise been an underdog this year.

Michigan State comes into this game looking to snap a three-game losing streak and keep its bowl hopes alive. The Spartans are 4-6 overall and 2-5 in Big Ten play this year.

It has been a rough year for Purdue, who comes into this matchup with a 1-9 record and 0-7 mark in league play. The Boilermakers haven’t won since their season-opening victory over FCS foe Indiana State.

Michigan State vs. Purdue prediction, pick

The way Michigan State is playing makes it wild that they are a two-touchdown favorite over anyone. But that also shows how bad Purdue has been this year. While the Boilermakers have been brutal, I find it hard to pick Michigan State to win a game by two touchdowns right now. This one will surely be closer than it should be…

Prediction: Michigan State 23, Purdue 14

The Michigan State vs. Purdue game starts at 8 p.m. ET on Friday and will b televised on FOX.

Michigan State football upset by Purdue, drop first game of season

Michigan State is no longer perfect following a tough upset loss at Purdue

[mm-video type=video id=01fkrcd72vdbagx92kye playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fkrcd72vdbagx92kye/01fkrcd72vdbagx92kye-7db07efd08b7f474979246f0b94bc1fd.jpg]

Michigan State is no longer perfect.

The Spartans dropped their first game of the season, losing at Purdue on Saturday by the score of 40-29. Michigan State never led in this game, and with the loss, the Spartans fall to 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the Big Ten on the season.

Michigan State trailed 21-14 at halftime but was able to tie the game early in the third quarter on a 32-yard touchdown run by Payton Thorne. Things went south from there with the Boilermakers scoring the next 16 points to build a commanding lead late into the fourth quarter.

The Spartans were able to get it down to a one-possession game with 5:03 left in the game thanks to a Tre Mosley touchdown and two-point conversion. However, Michigan State couldn’t stop Purdue from driving down the field to kick a game-clinching field goal.

Michigan State was outgained 594 to 458 in total yards. Of the 594 yards given up by the Spartans, 536 of it came in the air in what ultimately killed Michigan State in this matchup.

Michigan State’s Heisman candidate running back Kenneth Walker III had a solid game with 136 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. He should remain in the Heisman conversation but this loss will hurt his stock despite a solid performance.

The Spartans will look to regroup from this loss next week in a home game against Maryland. Kickoff time and TV details have not been announced yet.

Michigan State vs. Purdue Prediction: Spartans look to avoid upset vs. Boilermakers

Can Michigan State keep their winning ways going vs. Purdue this week? See what the Spartans Wire staff thinks

[mm-video type=video id=01fkhj2s9was36vcb0hp playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fkhj2s9was36vcb0hp/01fkhj2s9was36vcb0hp-ea4456d955408ed400b877a5f1e9b036.jpg]

It’s never easy winning on the road in the Big Ten, and that’s especially the case as a highly ranked team heading to West Lafayette, Indiana.

Michigan State will put its undefeated record on the line this week in a road matchup against Purdue. The Spartans are 8-0 and coming off a massive victory over rival Michigan this past weekend.

Purdue also enters this game with momentum. The Boilermakers are coming off a victory at Nebraska last weekend and are 5-3.

Can Michigan State avoid a letdown performance and avoid the Boilermakers’ upset bid? Let’s see what the Spartans Wire staff thinks in our weekly predictions.
