Ohio State vs. Michigan State game score: live updates and highlights.

 

After defeating Nebraska last week to end a six-game losing streak, Michigan State football is looking to keep up the good work this week when it takes on Ohio State, the top-seeded team in the College Football Playoff rankings.

After their turbulent season both on and off the pitch, the Spartans team was in dire need of good news, and their victory over Nebraska was cathartic. However, this week’s road game at Ohio State, a team the Spartans haven’t defeated since 2015, makes things much more dangerous.

The game will be broadcast on NBC and begin at 7:30 p.m. from Columbus. Ohio State is the home favourite by 32.5 points.
