Why Michigan State can cover
The Spartans were encouraged by the play of quarterback Katin Houser, who made his first career start in last week’s 27-24 loss at Rutgers. The redshirt freshman had a hand in all three of Michigan State’s touchdowns, throwing for two while running for another. Houser led the team to its first opening-drive TD of the season in the setback as he connected with senior wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. for a 13-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter.
Michigan State’s ground attack is led by Nate Carter, who has gained 529 yards on 113 carries. The redshirt sophomore, who is in his first season with the Spartans after spending two at UConn, is fourth in the Big Ten with an average of 88.2 rushing yards and has posted a career-high three 100-yard performances. Carter became the first Spartan to score three touchdowns in a quarter since Jehuu Caulcrick in 2007 when he accomplished the feat in the third quarter of the team’s 45-14 victory against Richmond on Sept. 9.
