  "account": "Michigan State football will face UCLA in a crucial matchup despite being heavily depleted on offense. Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic and running back Jaziun Patterson will not take the field, leaving the Spartans facing a formidable challenge at the Rose Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. (CBS).\n\nSophomore Marvis Parrish, a Western Kentucky transfer, and junior Brandon Tullis will likely shoulder much of the workload as the primary back. Patterson, an Iowa transfer, garnered the starting position following Cam Edwards' season-ending knee injury against Nebraska. Patterson has accumulated 327 yards on 76 carries, including five touchdowns. Parrish has contributed 96 yards on 33 carries, while Tullis has managed 49 yards on ten attempts.\n\nKey players such as linemen Brady Pretzlaff, Caleb Wheatland, and left tackle Ben Murawski are available after being listed as questionable following Saturday's 24-21 loss to Northwestern. The Spartans will also continue without linebacker and captain Jordan Hall, marking the fourth game this season with his absence due to injury.\n\nAdditionally, corners Tre Bell, Tyran Chappell, and Charles Brantley, as well as wide receiver Charles Taplin, are also expected to sit out the game. The matchup will see a significant lineup change, with the Spartans potentially in for an uphill battle against the highly-ranked Bruins.",
