The Michigan State Spartans will go head-to-head with the Baylor Bears on January 1 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The game starts at 12:30 pm ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link provided below (free for subscribers).

The Spartans (10-2) are trying to attempting to extend their current winning streak to two games when they face the Bears in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

"People expect more. That is their right. But it gives us an edge. It gives us a little bit of a chip on our shoulder as we go, and we use whatever we need to use," said Michigan head coach Mark Dantonio to reporters.

"We have an opportunity to play against a good football team, and possibly winning that game puts us right on the fringe of being in the playoffs. So we use that to move forward. People keep saying that's a major disappointment. I mean, move on."

Previously, Minnesota lost to their Big Ten East opponents the Penn State Nittany Lions by a final score of 34-10, after Spartans QB Connor Cook went 13-25 for only 180 yards with a touchdown and an interception on November 29.

Meanwhile, the Bears (11-1) are looking to win their sixth consecutive games when they clash with the Spartans at the AT&T Stadium.

"I think everything worked out for us the way it's supposed to. And I have peace in that," said Baylor head coach Art Briles to reporters.

"We're supposed to be where we're supposed to be and we're facing a great team and a very well-coached team. It is a great challenge for us."

Baylor recently lost their Big 12 rivals Kansas State Wildcats by a final score of 38-27, after QB Bryce Petty went 34-40 for 412 yards, which was highlighted by a touchdown and an interception on December 6.

"There's so much of this season to be proud of regardless of what happens," said Petty to reporters.
