Here’s how you can watch Saturday’s Michigan State vs Notre Dame live stream from South Bend online.

Michigan State might be the higher ranked team in this matchup, but the Spartans are the underdogs, according to Vegas. This rivalry game marks the 50th anniversary of the ‘Game of the Century’ between Michigan State and Notre Dame that ended in a 10-10 tie between the two college football Goliaths back in 1966.

The Spartans lost Connor Cook this past offseason to the NFL and are depending on fifth-year senior Tyler O’Connor to move forward with the offense by not skipping a beat. He played well in his first game, passing for 190 yards and three touchdowns on 13-of-18 completions. He had a bye week to fix whatever mistakes he had, such as locking into one receiver.

Monty Madaris might be a breakout candidate at receiver, but keep an eye on Felton Davis III, R.J. Shelton and Donnie Corley as well. This group is young and deep. LJ Scott has been named the No. 1 running back and he’s drawn comparisons to Le’Veon Bell. He had 105 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries against Furman.

Notre Dame, on the other hand, started the season with a loss at Texas, but rebounded with a nice win over Nevada in Week 2. The Texas loss dropped Notre Dame from No. 10 all the way to 18th in the polls. Still, with DeShone Kizer winning the starting quarterback job, it’s evident this offense has elite potential.

Kizer is one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation, passing for 371 yards and seven touchdowns through two games with a 71 percent completion rate. He’s dependable and can do more than just pass. He also has 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. The Spartan defense will hope to contain him.

Equanimeous St. Brown has taken over for Will Fuller as the top receiver, catching 11 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns. Keep an eye on sophomore running back Josh Adams, though. He might be taking the starting job soon enough as he’s accounted for 149 rushing and 45 receiving yards with one touchdown.
