Ohio State Buckeyes vs Michigan State Spartans team news & key players

Ohio State Buckeyes team news

The pivotal player to watch is senior quarterback Will Howard, a transfer from Kansas State. In his recent performance against Marshall, Howard went 16-for-20, racking up 275 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. For the season, he's completing 68.9% of his passes, totaling 795 yards, six touchdowns, and just one pick. His dual-threat capabilities add another dimension, with two rushing touchdowns to his name. Last season with the Wildcats, he put up 351 rushing yards and scored nine times on the ground.

In the backfield, TreVeyon Henderson returns, contributing 207 rushing yards and four touchdowns. However, the standout so far has been Quinshon Judkins, a transfer from Ole Miss, who has surpassed expectations. After amassing over 2,500 yards in two seasons with the Rebels, Judkins is already at 336 yards (averaging 9.3 yards per carry) and five touchdowns this year.

While the absence of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is notable, Jeremiah Smith (6-3, 215) has shown great potential, with 14 receptions for 281 yards and four touchdowns, positioning himself as a key playmaker.

Michigan State Spartans team news

Had Michigan State managed a late defensive stop against Boston College, they would have entered this contest undefeated at 4-0. However, the Spartans were edged out by the Eagles 23-19 on the road. Head coach Jonathan Smith, who arrived from Oregon State, has quickly made his mark on a team that struggled with a 4-8 record last year.

The Spartans kicked off the season with a lackluster 16-10 win over FAU. They followed up with a narrow 27-24 victory against Maryland in their first conference outing. After dismantling FCS Prairie View 40-0, they braced themselves for a tough battle against Boston College, knowing they needed a strong showing on both sides of the field.

Unfortunately, their offensive performance fell short as quarterback Aidan Chiles, an Oregon State transfer, connected on just 17 of 35 passes for 241 yards and threw three interceptions.
