Michigan State football vs. Boston College injury report released

Michigan State football will be missing four of their top wide receivers against Boston College

It is expected to be a rainy night in Boston tonight for Michigan State football’s match-up against Boston College, so hopefully this doesn’t impact a game plan too much that should include a lot of rush attempts, but the injury report was released for MSU’s game vs. Boston College on Saturday night, and the Spartans will be missing four of their top receivers.

We were expecting to see Nick Marsh and Jaron Glover out tonight, but it was a surprise to see Antonio Gates Jr. listed as well.

In addition to the four wide receivers, the Spartans will also be missing a key offensive lineman and safety Dillon Tatum. You can see the full report below:

Watch Michigan State football WR coach Courtney Hawkins address the media about Maryland win

Courtney Hawkins addressed the media about the Maryland win on Tuesday

In Michigan State football’s win over Maryland on Saturday, it was pretty obvious that one of the big winners on the day were the wide receivers and wide receivers coach Courtney Hawkins.

A rare assistant coach who was able to stick around through two separate head coaches now, Courtney Hawkins is the only coach on the team who gets to coach players he recruited himself. Coach Hawkins seemed very happy being able to see the fruits of his labor, which came from many different players, but especially from the fantastic play of Big Ten Freshman of the Week Nick Marsh.

The best part of this interview is when Hawkins talks about how he’s recruiting players who will be able to knock him out of the top-10 ranking of most yards in one game by a wide receiver in MSU history, where he is still ranked No. 7.
