Which Michigan State player could have a big game against Michigan?

The Michigan State Spartans have seen players put together elite performances against the Michigan Wolverines over the years.

Spartan fans come to love players who embrace rivalry and want to dominate their in-state rivals. Kenneth Walker III, Ricky White, Kirk Cousins ​​and Plaxico Burress come to mind when considering who has shown up against Michigan.

This year’s game has less at stake than the typical Michigan State-Michigan game, but Jonathan Smith won’t let his players overlook it. Players in the locker room with experience in this rivalry should make players unfamiliar with its importance aware of how much it means to this state.

Will a current Spartan step forward and insert his name into the history books? Who is most likely to do it?

Let’s identify three players who could have a big game tonight and potentially lead Michigan State to victory.

Wide receiver Nick Marsh – An obvious choice, but one that seems correct.

Marsh is from the Detroit area, so he is familiar with the importance of the rivalry. As Michigan State’s top offensive weapon, Marsh will undoubtedly be the focus of the Wolverines’ coaching staff.

The rookie receiver is physically and mentally advanced for his age. Swamp He has more receiving yards (433) than Michigan’s entire wide receiver group (342).

Even though he’s already doing it, Marsh can put his name in the record books with a big performance against a team he disdained in the recruiting process.

Running back Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams – While he’s no Kenneth Walker, Lynch-Adams’ running style has some similarities. Will that alone strike fear into the hearts of Michigan fans?

Michigan’s run defense is elite, but Lynch-Adams shouldn’t care. His bowling-ball running style has helped the Spartans maintain their momentum at times this season. Lynch-Adams, who rarely goes down on first contact and finds holes to run, has been everything Michigan State has needed in the running game this season.

Lynch-Adams has had some good games this season, but he hasn’t yet had that signature game as a Spartan. Could it come in the most important game of the season?

Tight end Jack Velling Velling and Aidan Chiles’ chemistry has grown this season, resulting in Velling becoming more involved in the offense.

He was one of the most effective tight ends in college football last season. While that hasn’t happened this season, Velling has made several big plays for the Spartans.

Michigan’s pass defense has struggled this season, so this is a good opportunity for Velling to find weak spots in the secondary and pick up big yards.
