MSU annouced shortly after 2:15 p.m. Saturday, that fifth-year senior linebacker Riley Bullough will be back in the lineup for the Spartans for the first time since week two. 

A team captain and last season's leading tackler for MSU sustained an injury in week two against Notre Dame sending him to the sidelines for the past three weeks. Largely considered the voice of the defense his return will be a significant boost for the struggling Spartan defense.

Before leaving with an injury, Bullough amassed 12 tackles including two for loss.

Junior Shane Jones has been Bullough's replacement this season accounting for 24 tackles including two for loss. The linebacking corps is still without junior Jon Reschke who suffered an injury before the game against Wisconsin.
