One of the Spartans' final opponents will be without their top offensive threat for the remainder of the season.
Rutgers star wide receiver KJ Duff reportedly had season-ending high-ankle surgery this week and will miss the remainder of the season. Pete Thamel of ESPN reported the notable injury news for the Scarlet Knights.
Duff was arguably the best player for the Scarlet Knights, currently on pace for a second straight 1,000 yard season at Rutgers. He appeared in eight games and recorded 45 receptions for 774 yards and nine touchdowns.
This injury news gives the Spartans a better shot at picking up a road win at Rutgers to end the season. Michigan State plays at Rutgers on November 28, which could very well have significant impact for a potential
bowl game should the Spartans keep winning.
