Michigan State- Michigan State beat Purdue 14-0 to improve to 6-1 on the season. Michigan State’s struggling offense only scored 7 points while their defense had a touchdown. Michigan State is now 3-0 in the Big10, and play Illinois, who has yet to win a conference game.

Eastern Michigan- Eastern Michigan suffered a big loss to its football team this past week. Junior receiver, Demarius Reed, was found shot to death in his off campus apartment.
