The No. 13-ranked MSU football team (8-1 overall, 4-1 Big Ten) is looking to rebound against Maryland (2-7 overall, 0-5 Big Ten) in Spartan Stadium after last week's tough loss to Nebraska.
The starting left tackle for the Spartans, junior Jack Conklin, said the team is already over “that” and “it,” meaning the team’s week 10 loss to Nebraska, and he said a “good physical practice” on Tuesday was a sign the team is still reaching for its goals.
