The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes will try to strengthen their case to be included in the College Football Playoff when they take on the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Mich. The Buckeyes (4-0) are ranked fourth in the latest CFP rankings, but, because of a late start to the Big Ten season and two canceled games, have played just four games this season, well shy of other teams vying for one of the four spots in the playoff.

On Saturday Ohio State takes on a 2-3 Michigan State team that last week upset then-No. 11 Northwestern, 29-20. Kickoff is set for noon ET. William Hill Sportsbook pegs the Buckeyes as 23.5-point favorites in the latest Ohio State vs. Michigan State odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 59.5.

Msu Um Line

Quarterback Rocky Lombardi sparked the Michigan State offense last week in the upset of Northwestern. After being benched in favor of Payton Thorne in the Spartans' previous game, Lombardi completed a modest 11-of-27 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, but four of his completions moved the chains on third down. He also ran for a career-high 65 yards on 10 carries; five of his runs extended drives, including one that kept the winning field goal drive alive.

In addition, if last week is any indication, the defense is playing its best ball of the season. After making just five sacks and causing five turnovers through the first four games, Michigan State had a season-high four sacks and four turnovers against the Wildcats. Defensive end Drew Beesley made two sacks, and cornerback Shakur Brown added two interceptions to bring his season total to five, which is tied for the most in the Big Ten.

Chemistry.

Msu Um Football Line

That’s what drove the Spartans to their 70-64 victory Sunday evening against the regular-season Big Ten Champions No. 2 Michigan (19-3, 14-3 Big Ten).

It was the chemistry between Rocket Watts and Joey Hauser, a keen connection that kept the fire alive for the green and white. Hauser scored his first four points by the 14:08 mark in the first half, which were off assists from Watts.

Watts went on to collect a total of 21 points and was MSU's best player on offense. He played 33 minutes and had four assists while Hauser followed closely with 11 points, getting benched at 7:08 in the second half with foul trouble — but it was the elder statesmen and incumbent guard, Joshua Langford, that iced the game with 49 seconds to play on a catch and shoot 3-pointer.

It was a defining moment for Watts after he didn't play the last 17 minutes of the previous game between MSU and Michigan on Thursday.

And was the defining moment for the Spartans' (15-11, 9-11 Big Ten) postseason hopes after the team pulled off a third win over an AP Top-5 team in the past two weeks after defeating Illinois and Ohio State in back-to-back games.

There wasn’t too much court time for Langford in the first half after he was replaced with Jack Hoiberg with 4:51 left in the half. The graduate student ended his likely final game at the Breslin with only seven points and in foul trouble.

Aaron Henry scored 18 points, going 6-for-13 from the field and 5-for-6 from the line. It was his consistency that helped keep the Spartans in the game for the entire 40 minutes. MSU led by as much as 11 in the second half.

The offensive consistency, combined with Wolverine big Austin Davis fouling out in the second half, helped push MSU over the brink.

MSU’s winning formula: The fewer turnovers the better, came into truthful fruition for a final go-around as the Spartans had a total of eight on Sunday.

Overall the Spartans shot 44% from the field, 36% from behind the 3-point arc and 78% from the line.

Michigan guard Chaundee Brown Jr. led the way for the Wolverines, coming out with a total of 13 points and going 5-for-10 from the field. He was backed up by fellow Wolverine forward Isaiah Livers and guard Mike Smith, who scored 21 points together, center Hunter Dickinson, who added another 12 points and guard Franz Wagner, who added another 10 points.

The Spartans will travel to Indianapolis on Wednesday, March 10, for the Big Ten Tournament, which is to be held at Lucas Oil Stadium until March 14. Solidified as the No. 9 seed, the Spartans will be playing the No. 8 seed — either the Maryland Terrapins or the Rutgers Scarlet Knights — on Thursday, March 11 at 11:30 a.m.
