Michigan State missing 4 top receivers at Boston College due to injury

East Lansing, Mich. -- Michigan State will be without four of its top five receivers when it travels to Boston College on Saturday.

The Spartans announced on Thursday that Jayden Reed, Keon Coleman, Montorie Foster and Ricky White are all out with injuries.

Reed is the team's leading receiver with 26 catches for 363 yards and three touchdowns. Coleman is second on the team with 17 catches for 248 yards and two touchdowns. Foster has 10 catches for 143 yards and a touchdown, while White has nine catches for 128 yards and a touchdown.

The injuries leave Michigan State with just one healthy scholarship receiver in Tre Mosley, who has four catches for 52 yards this season.

The Spartans will also be without starting left tackle Spencer Brown, who is out with an ankle injury.

The injuries are a major blow to Michigan State's offense, which has struggled to score points this season. The Spartans are averaging just 17.3 points per game, which ranks 12th in the Big Ten.

Michigan State will face a Boston College team that is coming off a 26-6 win over Pittsburgh.

The Eagles have one of the best defenses in the country, allowing just 13.0 points per game. Boston College is also tied for third in the country with 13 interceptions.

The Spartans will need to find a way to score points against the Eagles' tough defense if they want to win their first game of the season.

Conclusion

The injuries to Michigan State's top receivers are a major setback for the Spartans, who are already struggling to score points. The Spartans will need to find a way to replace the production of Reed, Coleman, Foster and White if they want to win their first game of the season.
