What channel is Indiana football on vs. Michigan State? TV, odds for Old Brass Spittoon game
The Indiana Hoosiers host Michigan State in Big Ten football action on Saturday with the Old Brass Spittoon on the line.
IU (3-7, 1-6) was eliminated from bowl eligibility in an overtime loss to Illinois. The Hoosiers' offense popped behind QB Brendan Sorsby, but the defense faltered, allowing Illini QB John Paddock 507 passing yards in his first start of the season.
Michigan State (3-7, 1-6) fell to No. 1 Ohio State (College Football Playoff), as expected. MSU has the Big Ten's most anemic offense (12.0 points per game in conference games), but IU trails the conference defensively (allowing 35.0 points and 417.4 yards).
What is the Old Brass Spittoon?
The Old Brass Spittoon carries more historical value in Michigan. It is believed to have come from an early trading post there and is around 200 years old.
MSU's student council suggested using it for the football rivalry in 1950, and IU's student senate agreed.
Indiana beat Michigan State 39-31 in overtime in 2022. The road team has won the past three matchups and MSU holds a 50-17-2 all-time edge.
