Here’s how you can watch Saturday afternoon’s Penn State vs Michigan State game from Happy Valley online.
A season ago, Michigan State and Penn State were in opposite situations. The Spartans needed to beat the Nittany Lions to win the Big Ten East and this season, it’s the Nittany Lions who need a win along with an Ohio State victory over Michigan.
The Nittany Lions are led by first-year starting quarterback Trace McSorley who has been impressive under center. He has passed for 2,600 yards and 17 touchdowns with five interceptions while rushing for 359 yards and six more scores.
Saquon Barkley might be the best running back in the Big Ten and he might be a load for the Spartans to handle. He has rushed for 1,205 yards and 14 touchdowns on 5.6 yards per carry on the year. He also has 19 catches for 316 yards.

Michigan State has had a nightmare season. The Spartans began the season high in the AP Poll, but have since dropped to 3-8 after many fourth-quarter disappointments. This team has held a lead in each game and nearly gave Ohio State a loss in Week 12.
Tyler O’Connor has been the starting quarterback for most of the season, and that’s the main issue for the Spartans. He is about as mediocre as it gets, passing for just 1,852 yards and 16 touchdowns with nine picks. Backup Damion Terry isn’t much better.
The run game has picked up lately and a lot of the success has to be attributed to the rise of sophomore back LJ Scott. He has put together three 100-yard games in four weeks and looks like a future star. He has 935 yards and six touchdowns this season.
