Michigan State reportedly without multiple key players for season finale
No. 12 Michigan State has a big rivalry game in the snow today against Penn State. The Spartans and the Nittany Lions play for the Land Grant Trophy in the last game of the year every season.
There are quite a few Spartans who are not in uniform ahead of today’s game against the Nittany Lions.
OK. MSU notables that are not in uniform: CB Charles Brantley, DB C.J. Hayes, LB Quavaris Crouch, DT Simeon Barrow, WR Jalen Nailor, CB Marqui Lowery, G Matt Carrick, LT Jarrett Horst, TE Tyler Hunt

The only new starter that is out is TE Tyler Hunt; most key players for today’s game are playing.
Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press provides more context on the situation:
The only new starter out of note is TE Tyler Hunt. Others who continue to remain out for multiple games now: LB Quavaris Crouch, DT Simeon Barrow, LT Jarrett Horst, WR Jalen Nailor, CB Chuck Brantley. Also out is CB Marqui Lowery, who did some early warmups w/nagging injury. https://t.co/hEZo7bKqyS
