The Michigan State Spartans 2023 Football squad took the field for the first time Friday night against the Central Michigan Chippewas. Michigan State struggled in the first half as the Chippewas looked better prepared and more physical in the trenches. Eventually, the better talent up and down the roster, as well as some key players settling in (Noah Kim, Maliq Carr to name a few), allowed Michigan State to dominate the second half and pull out a win that at least looks big on paper.
Coming into the game, Michigan State’s roster, season approach, and outlook had either extensive question marks or flat out “no clue” level of predictions.
