A pair of key offensive players for the Spartans are listed as questionable for Saturday's road game at top 10 UCLA.
The first official availability report for this week's Michigan State-UCLA game was released on Wednesday, with a pair of relatively surprising questionable designations for the Spartans. Starting quarterback Alessio Milivojevic and starting running back Jaziun Patterson were both listed as questionable for this week's game against UCLA.
A number of key players are also listed as out, including linebacker Jordan Hall, cornerback Tre Bell, cornerback Charles Brantley and quarterback Cam Fancher.
It's still early in the week and questionable doesn't mean they'll for sure be out, but the potential loss of Milivojevic and Patterson is notable for the Spartans. This matchup is already a tall task for the Spartans and the loss of either (or both) of these key offensive players would only make things harder out west.
Kickoff for this matchup between the Spartans and Bruins is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be nationally televised on CBS.
