MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS NEWS

Elijah Tau-Tolliver - Scores in defeat Tau-Tolliver totaled six carries for 79 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all eight targets for 73 yards during Saturday's 28-10 loss to Penn State.

Impact Tau-Tolliver was a lone bright spot for the Michigan State offense against Penn State, running for 79 yards and the team's lone touchdown on just six rushing attempts while catching eight passes for 73 yards through the air. Most of his rushing production came on the first offensive snap for the Spartans, which he took 57 yards to the house to open up the scoring on the day. Unfortunately for the team, it was just about all downhill from there as Penn State would end the game on a 28-3 run, though Tau-Tolliver managed to remain productive via his receiving work, leading the team in yards and receptions. His next chance will come against Iowa on Saturday.

Alessio Milivojevic - HC optimistic about availability Michigan State's head coach Jonathan Smith is optimistic that Milivojevic (undisclosed) will be available Saturday at Iowa, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Milivojevic did little against a ruthless Penn State defense that sacked him 12 times last Saturday. With the amount of physical damage he suffered, it appears Milivojevic is not at 100 percent going into Michigan State's upcoming game against another top defense in Iowa. Considering that Aidan Chiles (foot) is also unhealthy, the current state of MSU's team is a perfect time for Milivojevic to step up under center.

Aidan Chiles - Status day-to-day Chiles (foot) is day-to-day, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Michigan State's team will monitor Chiles regularly before Week 13, which includes the Spartans at Iowa. The quarterback's injury status has become increasingly crucial, with Alessio Milivojevic (undisclosed) also a doubt for their upcoming MSU-Iowa game.

Aidan Chiles - Foot injury causing absence Chiles is out for Saturday's game against Penn State because of a foot injury, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Chiles was seen wearing a boot around his left foot, which indicates why Week 12 will not include the quarterback's services. Up next for him would be a Nov. 22 game at Iowa.

Chrishon McCray - Good to go vs. Penn State McCray (undisclosed) is available against Penn State on Saturday.

Impact McCray was trending towards playing all week, and the receiver will indeed be available against the Nittany Lions. The redshirt junior has 16 grabs for 231 yards and one score this season.

Makhi Frazier - Good to go Saturday Frazier is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus Penn State.

Impact Frazier, who missed Week 10 due to an undisclosed injury, is now off the report ahead of Saturday's contest. He is set to lead the Spartans' backfield which is great news for the team as he's rushed for nearly 500 yards and scored two touchdowns through eight games this season.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Aidan Chiles - Out vs. Penn State Chiles (undisclosed) isn't available against Penn State on Saturday.

Impact It was reported earlier Saturday that Chiles wouldn't start against the Nittany Lions, paving the way for Alessio Milivojevic to draw the start for the Spartans once again. Without Chiles available, however, Michigan State will have to look elsewhere for a backup quarterback.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Milivojevic - Will start Week 12 Milivojevic will start Saturday's game against Penn State, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact A second straight start is set for Milivojevic, who Michigan State's team started in its latest game Week 10 at Minnesota. He excelled then, completing 71.4 percent of 28 pass attempts for 311 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, Penn State may provide a more difficult challenge ahead of Milivojevic, but another solid start may assure him the Spartans' primary quarterback position moving forward.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Aidan Chiles - Not starting Saturday Chiles will not start Saturday's game versus Penn State, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Alessio Milivojevic will start his second straight game Saturday, placing Chiles as the backup for the second game in a row. Milivojevic threw for more yards in his one start than Chiles has thrown in any game this season, so the decision is not entirely surprising. It's unclear if Milivojevic has captured the job for the rest of the season or if Chiles has a chance to take the job back if Milivojevic struggles.

Makhi Frazier - Trending towards Saturday return Frazier (undisclosed) is trending towards a return Saturday against Penn State, per Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact The halfback hasn't played since the Spartans' Week 9 loss to Michigan in which he tallied 109 yards and a score on 14 carries. Frazier, however, appears slated tor return against the Nittany Lions, which would be a big boost to Michigan State's backfield, as he has 493 rushing yards and two scores this fall.
