Michigan State looking to ‘finish’ this year against Indiana football

Indiana football welcomes in Michigan State to Memorial Stadium on Saturday for its senior day.

With just two games left in the season, Indiana is 3-7 overall and 1-6 in Big Ten play. The Spartans are the only other one-win team in league play.

Despite no bowl game for either program, this is a trophy game — a battle for the Old Brass Spittoon. Indiana won the trophy last season with a double-overtime victory.

Does that give the Spartans a different level of excitement for this Saturday?

“You know, I haven’t even looked at it in that perspective. It’s a new year, they have a new team, we have a new team, so I never come from that perspective like that,” MSU interim head coach Harlon Barnett said. “It’s more of let’s get better, let’s play hard, finish, and let’s try to get a win. No, it hasn’t been a motivational thing based on what happened last year, that was us not finishing. We have to finish.”
