Here’s everything you need to know about the Michigan State-Arizona State game, including how to bet and how to watch online.

College football week one did not disappoint, and there are some match-ups to circle for week two. One of those games is this one, with Michigan State taking on Arizona State. It may not look like a good game on paper, but this a good Big Ten-Pac 12 crossover.

Last week, Michigan State actually trailed Utah State by one late in the fourth quarter but hung on with a touchdown at the end to secure a seven-point victory. On the other side, the Sun Devils dominated Texas-San Antonio 49-7.

Michigan State will certainly look to put last week behind them and get back to dominating their early schedule, but Herm Edwards and Arizona State have upset on their minds. Michigan State’s defense looked out of sorts last week, but both offenses looked solid in their season debuts. Don’t expect a first-one-to-50 type of game, but it’s possible the offenses show up the defenses.

There are also draft prospects to take a look at in this game. Michigan State quarterback Brian Lewerke is rising up draft boards and could end up being one of the top quarterbacks in college football this season.

Spartans running back L.J. Scott is another one to watch. He is a patient runner with plenty of power and burst. On the other side, look for the explosive nature of wide receiver N’Keal Harry. He isn’t a refined route runner, but he is a downfield threat with great stuff after the catch.
