Michigan State football’s backs are against the wall when it comes to reaching the postseason, but that doesn’t mean Jerry Palm is ruling out a bowl game for the Spartans.

Palm released his updated bowl projections on Sunday, and Michigan State was once again in the mix and staying close to home. Palm has the Spartans landing in the Detroit Bowl and facing Miami (OH) of the Mid-American Conference. This was the same projection Palm had for the Spartans the last few weeks.

The Spartans are 4-6 overall and 2-5 in Big Ten play. Michigan State has dropped its last three games and will need to win its final two games to reach bowl eligibility.

Michigan State will return to action this week against Purdue. Kickoff time is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Friday and the game will be televised on Fox.
