Indiana is back in action on Saturday after a much-needed bye week, and they're ready to square off with No. 10-ranked Michigan State, the Hoosiers' fourth top-10 opponent in six games. Here's how to watch, with game times, TV information, the latest on the point spread and more.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana played a brutal schedule in the first half of the 2021 season, and even after a bye week, it still doesn't let up. No. 10-ranked Michigan State, still undefeated at 6-0 and one of the surprises of the 2021 season, comes to Bloomington for a critical Homecoming game.

So far the 2-3 Hoosiers have lost to No. 2-ranked Iowa, No. 3 Cincinnati and Penn State, who was ranked No. 4 two weeks ago when they beat the Hoosiers in their most-recent game. Indiana lost quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to a shoulder injury in that game, and Jack Tuttle came in to replace him. Penix is a game-time decision, according to Indiana coach Tom Allen, as are cornerbacks Tiawan Mullen and Reese Taylor. Mullen didn't play at Penn State and Taylor was injured in that game.
