The Spartans put enough pieces together to earn a 30-20 victory over Toledo, but a fourth-quarter deficit and some missed opportunities leave one perhaps not underwhelmed, but certainly not overwhelmed. Here's how MSU's offense, defense, and special teams did: Many of those missed opportunities came from the offense. It's great that Michigan State scored on all five of its drives in the first half, but only

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Every position battle matters a ton these days in college football. It's never been difficult for programs, including Michigan State, to build up depth. A player who's disappointed with their amount of playing time can leave in the winter. These experienced MSU players who will have remaining eligibility for 2027 are currently in the middle of some big position battles: There are only going to be so many carries to go around in the Spartans' backfield this year. Michigan State has a clear-cut RB
