After an unsettling loss against the Penn State Nittany Lions, there needs to be an offensive explosion through every healthy player left if the Michigan State Spartans wish to win once in their conference this year.
Their next opportunity will be against the Iowa Hawkeyes, who are no joke in the Big Ten this year, and every player will need to step up, even those who have been playing well.
