The Indiana football program goes on the road for the first time in 2019 and looks to come away with a win. In order to do that, they need to slow down these five players.

There is no doubt that the Michigan State Spartans are extremely talented, but one thing they may not have like previous years is depth, something Indiana football has struggled with at times as well.

The offensive line is depleted, they rely on just one running back as well as one receiver for the majority of the offensive production, and once again the offense is inconsistent.

Indiana is looking to go into East Lansing on Saturday and walk out with a win, but in order to do that, there are a few players they must slow down.

The Hoosiers may be without starting quarterback Michael Penix for a third straight game, but even if they have him under center, these five players need to be under wraps for Indiana if they want a chance to win.

Let’s break down the five players that Indiana must slow down on Saturday.
