Michigan St. Spartans
Michigan State's 16-10 win over Florida Atlantic was a narrow victory that exposed some weaknesses in key players expected to lead the team. Despite standout performances from a few players, the top players underperformed, resulting in a lackluster offensive showing. Injuries to key players in the secondary, such as Khalil Majeed and Dillon Tatum, further complicate the Spartans' defensive stability. The team will need to rely on depth and transfers to fill the void left by these injuries. Additionally, wide receiver and kick returner Alante Brown is sidelined with an upper-body injury until November. Michigan State is currently ranked 35th in offense, 14th in defense, and has a 1-0 record this season. As they prepare to face a tough Maryland team, improvements are needed from key players and the team as a whole to compete at a higher level.
