The Indiana Hoosiers and Michigan State Spartans will battle for the Old Brass Spittoon on Saturday in Bloomington. Both teams entered the 2023 season with bowl hopes, but August seems like it was lightyears ago. The Hoosiers fell to 3-7 after a 48-45 loss to Illinois and head coach Tom Allen’s name is starting to show up on hot seat lists while the Spartans already have their coaching search underway after Mel Tucker was fired mid-season. They are also 3-7 and out of bowl contention. So which team will be bought in the most for this unique trophy game?
