How to watch the Michigan State vs. Minnesota game today? Time, channel, TV schedule, and live stream - Saturday 28th| College Football Week 9
The Minnesota Golden Gophers will try to continue their winning streak after last week's nail-biting win 12-10 against Iowa in Week 8. This week, they receive the Michigan State Spartans home on Saturday afternoon. With five games remaining, the Golden Gophers have a 4-3 record, and with only one ranked opponent left, they have a good shot at bowl eligibility.
For their part, the Michigan State Spartans are having an awful season with a record of 2-5. The Spartans' season was doomed since the start, given that head coach Mel Tucker was engulfed in a sex harassment scandal, which led to his dismissal by the school.
The Spartans have been linked with Urban Meyer as a potential replacement for the vacancy, although the coach has denied such rumors.
In Week 8, the Golden Gophers won an encounter with the Iowa Hawkeyes 12-10. The game came down to a change of a ruling on the field, as the Hawkeyes scored a kick-six in the dying embers. However, the officials ruled that the Iowa returner didn't make the appropriate hand signal to get a fair catch.
For their part, Michigan State lost 49-0 to rival school Michigan. The Wolverines are currently a leading contender to win the national championship, being led by a favorite for the Heisman Trophy in quarterback J.J. McCarthy. It was highly unlikely that the Spartans could make this a competitive clash, but the shootout was embarrassing.

Katin Houser has replaced him more recently, with equally lackluster performances with a total of 392 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two interceptions.
Minnesota's Quarterback Situation
