Michigan State (3-6 overall, 0-6 Big Ten) is playing its final home game at Spartan Stadium this season, as the Spartans welcome Penn State (3-6, 0-6).

Both teams enter on six-game losing streaks. The most recent victories for both squads came against FCS opponents back on Sept. 13, when MSU beat Youngstown State and the Nittany Lions defeated Villanova. Penn State has not beaten a Power Four team this year, while Michigan State's lone such victory is against 1-9 Boston College in double overtime.

Even though this game is a clash between two of the worst power-conference teams in the sport, the Land Grant Trophy is going to be awarded to somebody on one of the best television slots the Big Ten has.

Penn State enters Saturday with the slimmest of leads in the all-time series, a 19-18-1 advantage over the Spartans.

The Nittany Lions took the lead the last time these two teams met, which was a 42-0 drubbing over MSU during the 2023 regular season finale at Ford Field in Detroit. Michigan State is concluding its regular season there again this year, this time versus Maryland.

Due to the Big Ten getting rid of the East and West divisions last year as it expanded from 14 to 18 teams, 2024 was the first year that the Spartans and Penn State did not meet since 2013. These two teams aren't scheduled to face one another in 2026, either, but are slotted for meetings in 2027 (Happy Valley) and 2028 (East Lansing).

Saturday will end up being PSU's first trip to Spartan Stadium since 2021. Michigan State won that game 30-27 in a snow-filled contest that is the program's most recent win in this series, as well.
