The game will be televised on ABC, with Dave Flemming (play-by-play), Rod Gilmore (analyst) and Paul Carcaterra (sidelines) on the call. The Spartans (2-4) fell to No. 4 Ohio State at home last Saturday, 52-12, while the Nittany Lions (2-5) won their second straight game with a 23-7 road victory at Rutgers.
• Saturday's game marks the 35th meeting between Michigan State and Penn State, with MSU leading the all-time series, 17-16-1. The Spartans have won five of the last seven meetings against the Nittany Lions, including two Top-10 victories over PSU (No. 7 in 2017, No. 8 in 2018). PSU holds a 10-7-1 advantage in games played in University Park, but the Spartans have won three of the last four over the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium. MSU topped No. 8 Penn State, 21-17, in the last matchup at Beaver Stadium on Oct. 13, 2018.
• Since the renewal of the series in 1993, the winner of the Michigan State-Penn State game has been presented the Land Grant Trophy. The trophy honors the two universities' unique places in history as the two pioneer land-grant schools in the nation. Each institution was founded in 1855: Michigan State on Feb. 12 and Penn State on Feb. 22. The schools were the prototypes after which the land-grant system was patterned. Since 1993, Penn State leads the series, 15-9, but the Spartans have won five of the last seven.
• Saturday's game marks the latest regular-season game in MSU history (Dec. 12) and just the sixth regular-season game in the month of December (Dec. 3, 1927, at North Carolina State; Dec. 8, 1934, at Texas A&M; Dec. 4, 1993, vs. Wisconsin in Tokyo, Japan; Dec. 1, 2001, vs. Missouri; Dec. 4, 2004, at Hawai'i; Dec. 5, 2020 vs. Ohio State).
• Senior linebacker Antjuan Simmons ranks second in the Big Ten in tackles, averaging 10.8 per game (65 total), and tied for third in tackles for loss (8.5). He has recorded double-digit tackles in five of MSU's six games this season (11 vs. Rutgers, 11 vs. Michigan, 14 vs. Indiana, 13 vs. Northwestern, 12 vs. Ohio State). He was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after helping MSU limit Northwestern to 20 points and 63 yards rushing in the win over the No. 8 Wildcats on Nov. 28. Simmons recorded 13 tackles, including two for losses (5 yards) and a 4-yard sack against NU.
• Four of MSU's first six opponents have been ranked in the AP Top 25 at the time of the game. Michigan State is one of three FBS teams this season, joining Alabama and Georgia, to record two wins over AP Top 15 teams (No. 13 Michigan on Oct. 31, No. 11 Northwestern on Nov. 28).
• Redshirt junior cornerback Shakur Brown is tied for first in the FBS with five interceptions, including four in the last three games (two each vs. Indiana and Northwestern). Brown, who has started two games at nickelback and four games at cornerback this season, also has a team-high four pass break-ups this season to rank second in the Big Ten in passes defended (nine total: five interceptions, four pass break-ups).
• Redshirt senior kicker Matt Coghlin ranks No. 2 in MSU history with 63 career field goals and is one point shy (299) of becoming just the fifth Spartan to record 300 total points.

Coghlin was 3-of-4 on field goals against the Wildcats, including the game-winner from 48 yards out with 3:35 left in the game that put MSU on top, 23-20, in the eventual 29-20 win. Coghlin also connected from 44 yards and 22 yards in the game. It marked the third time in his career Coghlin earned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honors (2017 vs. Penn State, 2018 vs. Indiana). He also has four game-winning field goals in his career (2017 vs. Penn State, 2019 vs. Indiana and Maryland).
• Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Jalen Nailor ranks second in the Big Ten and 10th in the FBS with his 20.8-yard average per reception. Nailor has four catches for 50-plus yards this season, including a 75-yard TD reception vs. Northwestern. Overall, he leads the team with 415 receiving yards on 20 catches (69.2 ypg).
• Redshirt sophomore Jayden Reed leads the team and ranks 16th in the Big Ten with 27 receptions for 331 yards (55.2 ypg; 12.3 avg.). He had a team-leading five catches for 79 yards vs. No. 4 Ohio State, including a new MSU career-long 55-yard reception in the third quarter.
MEL TUCKER ERA BEGINS IN 2020 –
• A new era of Spartan football begins in 2020 as Mel Tucker starts his head coaching tenure in East Lansing. Tucker, a 23-year coaching veteran with championship experience, was named Michigan State University's 25th head football coach on Feb. 12 following Mark Dantonio's retirement on Feb. 4.
• Tucker's resume, which began as a graduate assistant at Michigan State under Nick Saban, has an impressive track record of success. The journey that has led him back to East Lansing includes a head coaching position at Colorado (2019), five seasons as a defensive coach in the Southeastern Conference (2000; 2015-18), 10 seasons in the NFL (2005-14), and four seasons at Ohio State (2001-04). He was a defensive coordinator in the NFL for seven seasons and 11 seasons overall in his coaching career.
• In 148 games as a full-time coach in the FBS, Tucker's teams have collected a 108-40 (.730) record, including 10 postseason bowl games (2000 Peach, 2002 Outback, 2003 Fiesta/BCS National Championship, 2004 Fiesta, 2004 Alamo, 2015 Cotton/CFP Semifinal, 2016 CFP/National Championship, 2016 Liberty, 2018 Rose/CFP Semifinal, 2018 CFP/National Championship), three conference championships, three national championship games and two national championships (2002 with Ohio State, 2015 with Alabama).
• Tucker coached 160 games in the National Football League (64 with Cleveland, 64 with Jacksonville, 32 with Chicago).
• Four of Tucker's seven wins as a head coach in his first two seasons have come against AP Top 25 opponents (No. 11 Northwestern and No. 13 Michigan at MSU; No. 25 Nebraska and No. 24 Arizona State at Colorado). Tucker is 4-4 overall against AP Top 25 opponents (2-2 at Colorado; 2-2 at MSU). He became the first Spartan head coach to defeat a ranked team (No. 11 Northwestern) in his first home win.
• Officials from the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl announced on Dec. 1 that Mel Tucker was selected as The Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week following MSU's win over No. 8 Northwestern. The Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week award honors a football coach who led his team to a significant victory during the previous week, while also embodying the award's three pillars of scholarship, leadership and integrity.

THE LAST MEETING –
Oct. 26, 2019, in East Lansing, Mich. (AP): Michigan State fell to No. 6 Penn State, 28-7, in rainy and cold conditions at Spartan Stadium. The Nittany Lions avenged close losses to Michigan State from each of the past two seasons. The Spartans closed out a tough stretch in which they lost to three straight top-10 ranked foes Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State.
Sean Clifford's first touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth, a 16-yarder, opened the scoring in the first quarter, and those same two players gave Penn State a 13-0 lead with a 19-yard strike in the second. KJ Hamler's 27-yard TD catch with 1:20 left in the half - plus a successful 2-point conversion - made it 21-0.
A fumbled punt by Michigan State set up Clifford's 6-yard touchdown toss to Freiermuth in the third quarter, putting Penn State up 28-0.
Michigan State scored its only touchdown in the third quarter to make the final 28-7.
THE LAST MEETING IN BEAVER STADIUM –
Oct. 13, 2018, in University Park, Pa. (AP): Each Michigan State player brought a poker chip to Happy Valley and former head coach Mark Dantonio encouraged the Spartans to push them all to the center of the table. As the evening wore on against No. 8 Penn State, it was clear the Spartans were all-in. They converted a fake punt early, tried a fake field goal instead of kick for the tying points late in the fourth quarter and opted to throw to the end zone instead of run it to preserve another shot at an equalizing kick. That go-for-broke mentality paid off in Michigan State's 21-17 win.
Brian Lewerke threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Felton Davis with 19 seconds left to lift the Spartans over the Nittany Lions, making it two consecutive seasons Michigan State used a late score to hand Penn State a second straight loss. Davis stayed in despite hurting his hip on Michigan State's penultimate drive and finished with eight catches for 100 yards.
Miles Sanders ran for 162 yards and a touchdown for the Nittany Lions and Trace McSorley completed 19 of 32 passes for 192 yards with a touchdown to become the program's all-time passing yardage leader.

POSITION-BY-POSITION NOTES
QUARTERBACKS
• Michigan State has four scholarship quarterbacks on its roster – redshirt junior Rocky Lombardi, redshirt sophomore Theo Day, redshirt freshman Payton Thorne and freshman Noah Kim. First-year offensive coordinator Jay Johnson also is the quarterbacks coach for the Spartans.
• Lombardi has started the first six games of the season and is 4-5 as the starting quarterback for the Spartans (2-1 as redshirt freshman in 2018 when starter Brian Lewerke was injured; 2-4 in 2020). Lombardi has led MSU to wins over two ranked opponents this season (No. 13 Michigan on Oct. 31; No. 8 Northwestern on Nov. 28).
• Lombardi was 5-of-11 passing for 33 yards and one interception against No. 4 Ohio State on Dec. 5 before exiting the game in the second quarter with an injury. Thorne replaced Lombardi in the second quarter and Thorne completed his first 11 passes of the game against the Buckeyes. He finished with career highs in passing yards (147), passing completions (16), passing attempts (25) and rushing yards (42).

In his second career start at quarterback vs. Nebraska on Nov. 17, Lombardi collected 199 yards of total offense. He completed 15-of-41 passes for 146 yards and ran for a career-high 53 yards on nine carries (5.9 avg.). In the win over Rutgers, Lombardi was 19-of-43 for 173 yards, one TD and one interception. Lombardi played quarterback in seven games (eight games overall; punted once in an emergency situation at Arizona State). He was 68-of-154 (.442) passing for 738 yards, three TDs and three interceptions.
• As a redshirt sophomore in 2019, the 6-5, 225-pound Lombardi played sparingly, taking 51 snaps over the course of eight games of action. He completed 7-of-21 passes for 74 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions.
• The 6-5, 225-pound Day made two appearances last season, taking one snap against Western Michigan and five snaps vs. Penn State. He was 2-of-3 passing for 12 yards against the Nittany Lions.
RUNNING BACKS
• Through six games, redshirt junior Connor Heyward leads the team in carries (60) and rushing yards (190; 31.7 ypg; 3.2 avg.). Heyward led the Spartans on the ground with a season-high 96 yards on a career-high 24 carries against Northwestern on Nov. 28.
• Heyward, who only played in four games in 2019 to preserve his redshirt season, has started five of the six games for the Spartans. A finalist for the Paul Hornung Award as a sophomore in 2018, Heyward has 808 rushing yards and five TDs on 205 carries in 35 career games, including 14 starts. A versatile back with excellent hands, Heyward also has 61 career receptions, most of any active Spartan, for 385 yards and four TDs, including two touchdown catches in the win at No. 13/14 Michigan.
• True freshman Jordon Simmons ranks second on the team in carries (42) and rushing yards (147; 36.8 ypg; 3.5 avg.). After rushing for 43 yards in his collegiate debut against Rutgers on 14 carries, Simmons had 55 yards on 14 carries at No. 13/14 Michigan. Simmons made his first career start in the Indiana game on Nov. 14 (five carries for 15 yards) but has not dressed the past two games.
• After preserving his redshirt year in 2018 by appearing in just three games, Elijah Collins had a breakthrough season as a redshirt freshman for the Spartans in 2019, leading the team and ranking fourth in the Big Ten with 988 rushing yards (76.0 avg.). Collins, who earned third-team All-Big Ten honors by the media and Pro Football Focus, was just 12 yards shy of becoming MSU's first 1,000-yard rusher since Jeremy Langford in 2014 and rushed for the second-most yards ever by a Spartan freshman (record: Sedrick Irvin with 1,067 yards in 1996). Collins' 222 carries were also the most by a Spartan back since Langford in 2014 (276) and the most by a Spartan freshman since Irvin (237) in 1996.
• The Detroit, Michigan, native emerged as one of the top freshman running backs in the nation in 2019, ranking third among all FBS freshman RBs in carries (222; 17.1 pg) and fifth in rushing (76.0 ypg). In his first career start against Western Michigan in Week 2, Collins quickly burst onto the scene with 192 rushing yards on just 17 carries (11.3 avg.), the second-most rushing yards ever by a Spartan freshman in a single game. He also had 100-yard rushing games against Illinois (170) and Rutgers (109) and had 96 yards on 21 carries in MSU's Pinstripe Bowl win over Wake Forest. Collins entered the season on watch lists for the Maxwell Award (player of the year) and Doak Walker Award (nation's top running back). He has rushed 40 times for 93 yards in six games in 2020.
• Sophomore Brandon Wright, who played in six games (18 carries for 48 yards) to letter as a true freshman, has six carries for 13 yards in 2020.
• First-year assistant William Peagler is coaching the running backs for the Spartans.

WIDE RECEIVERS
• The Spartans lost their top two receivers from last season in Darrell Stewart and Cody White, but the outlook is bright with several young, promising prospects at the position. The group is coached by former Spartan star Courtney Hawkins, who in addition to earning first-team All-Big Ten honors twice in college also spent nine seasons playing in the NFL.
• Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Jalen Nailor ranks second in the Big Ten and 10th in the FBS with his 20.8-yard average per reception. Nailor has four catches for 50-plus yards this season, including a 75-yard TD reception vs. Northwestern. Overall, he leads the team with 415 receiving yards on 20 catches (69.2 ypg).
• Nailor hauled in a career-best six receptions for 84 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown in the third quarter, against Rutgers on Oct. 24. He had a career-high 119 yards on four catches (29.8 avg.) at Iowa on Nov. 7 and had three receptions for 99 yards, including a 75-yard TD, against Northwestern on Nov. 28.
• Nailor provided glimpses of his potential as a playmaker his first two seasons (2018-19), which were limited due to injuries, but he has started all six games in 2020. He entered the 2019 season as a starter but missed nine games after the season opener due to a foot injury; he returned for the final three games of the season and helped spark a three-game winning streak to close out the year. The Spartans are 11-7 with Nailor in the lineup, including a 4-0 mark last season. As a freshman in 2018, Nailor showed his big-play ability with three touchdowns in eight games, including a 75-yard run at Indiana and a 48-yard reception on a flip pass against Purdue. In four games last season, Nailor had 15 receptions for 106 yards, highlighted by a five-catch, 50-yard performance in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl against Wake Forest.
• Redshirt sophomore Jayden Reed leads the team and ranks 16th in the Big Ten with 27 receptions for 331 yards (55.2 ypg; 12.3 avg.). He had a team-leading five catches for 79 yards vs. No. 4 Ohio State, including a new MSU career-long 55-yard reception in the third quarter.
• Reed ranks seventh in the Big Ten in all-purpose yards (108.2 ypg) and fourth in kick returns (20.6 avg.).
• In his first game wearing the Green and White, Reed had 11 catches for 128 yards and two scores against Rutgers, becoming the first Spartan to record 100 yards receiving in his debut; Reed transferred from Western Michigan and sat out the 2019 season. Reed was a FWAA Freshman All-American in his lone season with the Broncos in 2017 with 56 catches for 797 yards and eight TDs; he also had 12 punt returns for 215 yards (17.9 avg.), including a 93-yarder returned for a score.
• Wide receiver Ricky White was named the Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week and the Pro Football Focus National True Freshman of the Week after setting an MSU freshman single-game record with 196 receiving yards on eight catches in the win over Michigan. Making his first career start, White made several big plays, including catches of 50, 40, 31 and 30 yards. He hauled in a 30-yard pass from Rocky Lombardi in the end zone in the first quarter for his first career touchdown as a Spartan. White's 196 receiving yards were the second-highest total for a Spartan receiver against Michigan (Plaxico Burress with 255 yards in 1999) and tied for seventh most overall in a game in MSU history.
• White is averaging 22.3 yards per catch in four games (10 catches for 223 yards and one TD). He has not dressed the past two games due to an injury.
• Although he only played in the final six games of the season as a true freshman, Tre Mosley still ranked fourth on the team with 21 catches for 216 yards in 2019. He burst onto the scene with four grabs for 37 yards against No. 6 Penn State and continued to make an impact down the stretch, including eight catches for 73 against vs. Maryland and four receptions for 50 yards in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl victory over Wake Forest. Mosley was injured in the season opener vs. Rutgers and missed three games, but returned to action vs. Northwestern (one catch for 8 yards). Mosley four catches for 41 yards on the season.
• In addition to Ricky White, two additional true freshmen have seen time in the playing rotation: Montorie Foster and Terry Lockett Jr.
• Redshirt freshman Cade McDonald made his collegiate debut at Michigan and caught two passes in the fourth quarter against the Wolverines.
TIGHT ENDS
• Although the Spartans lost starter Matt Seybert to graduation, five letterwinners returned at tight end for the Spartans. The group is coached by veteran Ted Gilmore, who has 25 years of experience at the FBS and NFL ranks.
• Three-year letterwinner Matt Dotson, who unfortunately suffered a season-ending Achilles injury vs. Illinois on Nov. 9, 2019, has 38 receptions for 388 yards and two TDs in 34 career games. He caught five passes for 50 yards in the season opener vs. Rutgers, but missed three games (Iowa, Indiana, Northwestern) due to an injury. He returned to action Dec. 5 vs. No. 4 Ohio State and had one catch for 9 yards.
• Redshirt sophomore Trenton Gillison showed off his potential in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl victory over Wake Forest, catching four passes for 88 yards, including a season-long 64-yard reception in the second quarter that set up a Spartan touchdown. Gillison has five catches for 49 yards in four games this season, but has not dressed the past two games.
• Redshirt junior Tyler Hunt (6-2, 235), who joined the program as a walk-on kicker/punter in 2017, made the transition to tight end during preseason camp. He made his season debut at Iowa and scored his first career touchdown on a 1-yard jet sweep in the third quarter. Hunt has played 189 snaps at tight end the past four games and has seven catches for 61 yards. He started five games in 2018 at punter.
• Sophomore Adam Berghorst, who was drafted as a right-handed pitcher out of high school and plays on the Spartan baseball team, has played in all six games this season with 36 snaps at tight end.
OFFENSIVE LINE
• For the second season in a row, Michigan State suffered a rash of injuries on the offensive line in 2019, leading to seven different starting combinations in 13 games, including five of the last six games. The past 26 games in 2018 and 2019, MSU had 16 different starting o-line combinations. The good news for the Spartans was that the o-line unit returned 11 letterwinners in 2020, including 10 with multiple games of starting experience. Veteran coach Chris Kapilovic mentors the offensive line for the Spartans.
• Three-year letterwinner and fifth-year senior Matt Allen, who was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List, returned for his third season as the starting center to lead the group but has missed the last five games due to an injury. Sophomore Nick Samac, who started four games as a true freshman in 2019 at center, has replaced Allen in the starting lineup the past five games.
• The injuries in 2019 especially took a toll at left tackle, as MSU started four different players at the position throughout the season. One of those players, redshirt senior AJ Arcuri, is back in 2020 and has started all six games at left tackle this season. He has 11 career starts at left tackle (five in 2019; six in 2020).
• Sophomore J.D. Duplain has started the past four games at left guard. He started the final five games of 2019 at left guard as a true freshman. Redshirt junior Blake Bueter has 11 games of starting experience overall (four at right guard, four at center, two at left guard, one as extra OL in jumbo formation), including the first two games of 2020.
• Redshirt junior Matt Carrick held down the starting right guard spot in 11 games last year and has started all six games at the position this season.
• Kevin Jarvis, who was a two-year starter at right guard in 2017-18, moved to left tackle at the beginning of the 2019 season due to injuries along the line. Jarvis started three games before losing the remainder of his season following an injury against Arizona State in Week 3. Jarvis did preserve his redshirt season by playing in just three games and is now back in 2020 as the starting right tackle. Jarvis has started 26 career games (17 at right guard in 2017-18, three at left tackle in 2019, six at right tackle in 2020).
• Senior Jordan Reid had started 26 consecutive games at right tackle and was the only offensive lineman to start every game the past two seasons, but elected to opt out of the 2020 season. Reid played a team-high 964 snaps as a sophomore in 2018 and again led the team with 950 snaps in 2019.
DEFENSIVE LINE
• Michigan State's defensive line lost three multi-year starters, as All-American defensive end Kenny Willekes (38 starts) and defensive tackles Mike Panasiuk (41 starts) and Raequan Williams (42 starts) all graduated in December. The line has a familiar face coaching the room, however, as Ron Burton is in his eighth year at Michigan State. Burton, the only two-time winner of the FootballScoop Defensive Line Coach of the Year (2013, 2018), spent his first four years in East Lansing coaching the defensive line, then focused on defensive tackles from 2017-19. He is back to coaching the entire d-line under first-year head coach Mel Tucker, while Secchia Family Defensive Coordinator Scottie Hazelton will also assist with the defensive ends.
• Senior Jacub Panasiuk, a two-year starter at defensive end, returns in 2020 to lead the group after posting career highs in tackles (34), tackles for loss (11) and sacks (5) last season as a junior. The younger Panasiuk has played in 44 career games, including a team-best 29 consecutive starts, and has collected 105 tackles, 21.0 tackles for loss and nine sacks in his career. He leads the d-ends with 25 stops, including 2.5 TFLs, in 2020.
• On the other end of the line, fifth-year senior Drew Beesley has seen extensive action the past two seasons and is now in a starting role. For the season, Beesley has 20 stops, including 5.5 TFLs and a team-best three sacks. In the opener against Rutgers, Beesley had a career-high 2.5 tackles for loss, including a 7-yard sack, with six tackles overall. He had a career-high two sacks (18 yards) and tied his career high with 2.5 TFLs (19 yards) in the win over No. 8 Northwestern.
• Redshirt freshman Michael Fletcher, who was rated the No. 1 defensive end prospect in the state of Michigan coming out of high school, missed the first half of the 2019 season with an injury and preserved his redshirt year; he has played 152 snaps in five games in 2020 and has 12 tackles, including 3.5 TFLs and three sacks. Jack Camper (R-Jr.) also adds depth at the position (13 tackles in six games).
• Up the middle, the Spartans lost two stalwarts in Mike Panasiuk and Raequan Williams, who started 41 career games alongside each other from 2017-19. Fifth-year senior Naquan Jones has taken over a starting role after seeing regular time in the playing rotation the past three seasons. The 6-4, 340-pound native of Evanston, Illinois, has 74 tackles, including 12.5 TFLs and three sacks, in 45 career games. He has five TFLs and 20 tackles this season.
• Redshirt sophomore Jacob Slade also gained valuable experience last season to earn his first letter, playing 262 snaps in all 13 games. He flashed his potential in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, posting a career-best two tackles for loss and his first career sack, and is now a starter alongside Jones. Slade has 11 tackles this season and has played 274 snaps.
• Redshirt freshman Dashaun Mallory started his first career game against No. 8 Northwestern and had a 3-yard sack against the Wildcats. He also earned the start vs. No. 4 Ohio State. Mallory has nine tackles, including 2.5 TFLs and two sacks this season.
• Redshirt freshman Jalen Hunt started against Indiana and has five tackles with two TFLs, but missed the Ohio State game due to an injury.
LINEBACKERS
• Senior Antjuan Simmons, who had a breakout season with a team-leading 90 tackles and a career-best 15 tackles for loss as junior in 2019, has started 19 consecutive games for the Spartans. He was named to watch lists for the Bednarik Award and Lott IMPACT Trophy entering the season.
• Simmons ranks second in the Big Ten in tackles, averaging 10.8 per game (65 total), and tied for third in tackles for loss (8.5). He has recorded double-digit tackles in five of MSU's six games this season (11 vs. Rutgers, 11 vs. Michigan, 14 vs. Indiana, 13 vs. Northwestern, 12 vs. Ohio State).
• A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Simmons leads all active Spartans with 221 career tackles and 25.5 career tackles for loss.
• Simmons was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after helping MSU limit Northwestern to 20 points and 63 yards rushing in the win over the No. 8 Wildcats. He logged a game-high 13 tackles, including two tackles for loss and a 4-yard sack.
• Redshirt junior Noah Harvey ranks second on the team with 45 tackles and third with 5.0 tackles for loss. He also had starting experience entering this season after stepping up at the end of the 2019 campaign and starting the final five games (two at weakside linebacker, three at strongside linebacker). He ranked eighth on the team with a career-high 49 tackles, including 42 stops during his starting assignments, and had a career-high 14 tackles in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl victory over Wake Forest.
• Redshirt sophomore Chase Kline has seen regular time in the playing rotation and has a career-high 27 tackles in six games. He has played 200 snaps at linebacker and is also a standout on special teams.
• The linebacker room is coached by first-year assistant Ross Els, who is also serving as the special teams coordinator.
SECONDARY
• Former Spartan All-American Harlon Barnett, who coached the secondary at MSU for 11 seasons from 2007-17, returns in 2020 to coach the cornerbacks, while longtime Spartan defensive assistant Mike Tressel coaches the safeties. Although the Spartans lost two three-year starters in safety David Dowell and cornerback Josiah Scott, the secondary still returned 11 letterwinners in 2020.
• Redshirt junior defensive back Shakur Brown is tied for first in the FBS with five interceptions, including four in the last three games (two each vs. Indiana and Northwestern). Brown, who has started two games at nickelback and four games at cornerback this season, also has a team-high four pass break-ups this season to rank second in the Big Ten in passes defended (nine total: five interceptions, four pass break-ups).
• Brown had two picks against Indiana, becoming the first Spartan to record two interceptions in the same game since David Dowell in 2017 vs. Penn State, and followed that effort with another two picks vs. Northwestern.
• Now with seven career interceptions, Brown moves up to tie for No. 28 on MSU's career interception list. Brown's 54 interception return yards vs. Northwestern give him 186 for his career, eighth most in MSU history.
• Redshirt sophomore Kalon Gervin also has starting experience after earning the assignment at corner at Ohio State in 2019, and played in 10 games overall with eight tackles. He has earned starts in five games this season (missed Indiana game) and has 18 tackles with three pass break-ups. Gervin jumped on a fumble in the end zone in the final play of the Northwestern game on a failed lateral attempt for his first career touchdown.
• Redshirt sophomore Chris Jackson started the first two games of the season at cornerback for the first starts of his career, but then missed two games (Iowa, Indiana). He returned to action against Northwestern and played 25 snaps. Jackson had a career-high six tackles in the victory at Michigan.
• Due to injuries, three members of the Spartan secondary made their first career starts against Indiana: senior cornerback Dominique Long, redshirt sophomore safety Michael Dowell, and freshman nickelback Angelo Grose. Grose has started the last three games at nickelback and has 18 tackles and two pass break-ups this season. He had six tackles each vs. Northwestern and Ohio State. Â
• Sophomore Julian Barnett, who played wide receiver last season, earned his first career start on defense at nickelback at Iowa, as the secondary reshuffled following Jackson's absence. Barnett was a high school All-American as a cornerback.
• Junior Xavier Henderson returns as one of the starting safeties after ranking second on the team with 83 tackles during his sophomore campaign in 2019. He also had two interceptions and two tackles for loss in starting all 13 games and playing 838 snaps, most in the secondary and second-most overall on the defense. He ranks third on the team with 37 stops in six games.
• Senior Tre Person has played at both cornerback and safety during his career, including four starts at cornerback in 2018, but he primarily played safety last season. He has started at safety in five of the six (did not dress vs. Indiana) and has 27 tackles, one sack, one pass break-up and one forced fumble in 2020.
• Redshirt sophomore Michael Dowell played 94 snaps last year, primarily in third-down situations, and will also compete for additional playing time. He made his first career start vs. Indiana and has 24 tackles in six games.
SPECIAL TEAMS
• Placekicker: Fifth-year senior Matt Coghlin is in his fourth year as the team's starting placekicker and is third in school history with 63 field goals made. Coghlin was a BTN All-Freshman Team honoree in 2017 (15-of-19 on FGs) and was 18-of-22 on field-goal attempts as a sophomore to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors by the media. Last season, Coghlin made a career-high 22 field goals, tied for second most in MSU single-season history; that total also ranked second in the conference and tied for 11th in the FBS. Coghlin, however, is looking to improve his accuracy his senior season (22-of-32, .688 in 2019). He has started the year 8-for-11 on field-goal attempts (.727), including a career-long 51-yarder at Michigan.
• Coghlin was named the Big Ten Special Teams Co-Player of the Week after going 3-of-4 on field goals against No. 8 Northwestern, including the game-winner from 48 yards out with 3:35 left in the game that put MSU on top, 23-20, in the eventual 29-20 win. Coghlin also connected from 44 yards and 22 yards in the game. He has four game-winning field goals in his career (34-yarder as time expired to beat No. 7 Penn State in 2017; 21-yarder with five seconds left to defeat Indiana in 2019; 33-yarder with 2:14 remaining to beat Maryland in 2019). It marked the third time in his career Coghlin earned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week accolades (2017 vs. Penn State, 2018 vs. Indiana).
• Punter: Following the departure of longtime starter Jake Hartbarger, the Spartans entered 2020 looking for a new punter. Redshirt junior Bryce Baringer, who joined the team as a walk-on and punted 15 times in 2018, did not play last season but earned the starting job the first six games. Baringer is averaging 43.5 yards per punt. He has 10 punts of 50-plus yards with a long of 78 yards, and eight inside the 20. He was credited with a new career long 78-yard punt in the second quarter at Michigan, good for the sixth-longest punt in school history and longest since Brandon Fields with a 79-yarder in 2003 vs. Notre Dame.
• Graduate transfer Mitchell Crawford, a two-year starting punter from UTEP, also joined the team in 2020. He made his Spartan debut at Iowa (four punts for 149 yards; 37.2 avg.) and replaced Baringer in the Northwestern game (four punts for 153 yards; 38.2 avg.). For the season, Crawford has punted eight times for 302 yards (37.8 avg.).
• Long Snapper: Sophomore Jude Pedrozo had to take over the starting duties last season as a true freshman following a season-ending injury to fifth-year senior Ryan Armour in the season opener. Pedrozo is back in 2020 after an impressive first season in which he was expected to likely redshirt.
• Kickoff specialist: Redshirt junior Cole Hahn was the team's primary kickoff specialist last season, averaging 57.1 yards with nine touchbacks on 52 kickoffs. Coghlin and Hahn split kickoff duties against Rutgers, but Coghlin has earned that role in the past five games (63.0 avg., nine touchbacks in 20 kickoffs).
• Kick return: Redshirt sophomore Jayden Reed has returned 15 kickoffs for 309 yards (19.3 avg.) with a long of 39 yards vs. Ohio State. He ranks fourth in the Big Ten with his 20.6-yard average.
• Punt return: Redshirt junior Jalen Nailor returned two punts for 18 yards vs. Rutgers, but did fumble a return in the fourth quarter that led to a Scarlet Knight touchdown. Reed also fields punts for the Spartans.
