Michigan State is looking to end its six-game skid, and the Spartans will have that chance this Saturday versus Nebraska. It will be the last game at Spartan Stadium in 2023, so MSU will be celebrating its senior day early.

Ahead of the seniors being honored on Saturday, fifth-year players Maverick Hansen and J.D. Duplain discussed the emotions of the game and the adversity the team has gone through this season, while also reflecting on their college careers to this point.

Both Hansen and Duplain were selected as team captains for Michigan State's game at Minnesota last weekend, which was a 27-12 loss for the Spartans.

"It would mean a lot," Hansen said about getting a win on senior day. "It would also change the whole demeanor of the team. We've lost six games in a row, and I feel like a lot of guys are sluggish. Not myself, I feel like I don't really care what's going on, I'm going to go out and play and do my best. But it's just tough with a lot of young guys on the team because they're learning how to go through this type of adversity. I've been on losing teams before, unfortunately, but at the end of the day, you really just gotta stick together and come out of it."
