MSU is 37-8 (.822) at home since 2010 and 21-3 (.875) since 2013.
• Senior Josiah Price had two catches for 29 yards in the BYU game, surpassing the 1,000-yard milestone for receiving yards on his second catch to become just the fourth Spartan tight end to record 1,000 career receiving yards (Chris Baker: 1,705; Mark Brammer: 1,305; Billy Joe DuPree: 1,222). Price now has 80 career catches for 1,001 yards. He already ranks first among Spartan tight ends in school history with 18 touchdown receptions.
