As Michigan State gears up for a critical matchup against Boston College, the Spartans are facing significant adversity due to key injuries within their squad. Despite coming in with a perfect 3-0 record, the team will be severely impacted by the absence of several crucial offensive players, as reported by MLive.

Nick Marsh, Jaron Glover and Antonio Gates Jr. joined Alante Brown on Michigan State's availability report for Saturday's game. Marsh appeared to have gotten hurt in the first half of last week’s win against Prairie View A&M. He was seen hobbling off the field after making a 20-yard reception, though he returned in the game later.

Michigan State's defense couldn't stop a late rally from Boston College as Thomas Castellanos hit Lewis Bond for a 42-yard touchdown pass with 88 seconds left for a 23-19 win for the Eagles in the annual Red Bandanna Game.
