Series History: Michigan State and Indiana battle for the Old Brass Spittoon but the series is one that has been dominated by the Spartans. MSU has won 48 of the 67 contests with IU only being victorious 17 times (there have been two ties). Last season was one of the Hoosiers more comprehensive wins over the Spartans as they dominated 24-0 in East Lansing. Now in his second-year, Mel Tucker infused the roster with several transfers and this will be a much different squad than the one IU beat a season ago.
