Michigan State went into the bye week with hopes of coming out with a shorter injury list. The Spartans got that, with its expected offensive line listed as the starters on the depth chart.

“We got healthy," MSU coach Mark Dantonio said. "A lot of bumps and bruises healed up and some fatigue on some players. The guys that were hurt responded as well. I think we are where we need to be. I think that’s what we needed to do.”

It marks the first time Michigan State likely will have the lineup of Jack Conklin, Brian Allen, Jack Allen, Donavon Clark and Kodi Kieler back intact since the start of its 31-28 win against Oregon. To get it back would provide a nice lift for the Spartans up front.

“Our offensive line is experienced when we are all sitting there all together," Dantonio said. "They have played together for quite a while. So that should pay dividends.”

Kieler returned from a knee injury to play against Rutgers, while Conklin came back against Michigan. Allen left late against Rutgers and did not play against Michigan or Indiana.

Running back Madre London also is on the depth chart, listed as one of four starting running backs. Dantonio did not guarantee that either Allen or London will play.

MSU remains without Darian Hicks, who left against Rutgers after a hit to the head. Asked if Hicks will be out long term, Dantonio said: "We are going to have to see based on how practice goes this week."
