It's a big football weekend for Michigan State University. The No. 7  Spartans head to Oregon to play the No. 3 Ducks on Saturday.

Michigan Radio's sports commentator John U. Bacon says this one sure is grabbing lots of national attention.

“Many consider this the best non-conference matchup of the entire season, which is saying a lot, and the Spartans haven’t met one of those in quite a while,” says Bacon.

This weekend, Bacon says he’ll mainly watch to see if Michigan state’s defense can stop Oregon’s offense.

“(Oregon’s) quarterback is a Heisman Trophy candidate, and if they can stop him, that’s a whole different game,” says Bacon.
