With Western Kentucky having a potent passing attack, Michigan State safety Xavier Henderson believes the biggest key on defense is clearly tackling in space. Through three games, Western Kentucky quarterback Bailey Zappe has amassed 1,224 yards, 13 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The stingy Michigan State defense hasn’t allowed over 21 points this season.
Michigan State-Western Kentucky is slated for a 7:30 p.m. (EST) kickoff and will be televised on FS1. Western Kentucky is off to a 1-2 start, most recently being edged 33-31 by Indiana. This is the first meeting between the programs.
