The 2021 college football season is finally here. After quite possibly the strangest football season of all-time (and perhaps the strangest period of time in the entire world, for that matter) due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, things will look a lot more normal in 2021 with marching bands, cheerleaders, fans back in the stands and many other elements of a typical college football game experience. With that said, the COVID-19 pandemic still rages on, and the Delta variant of the virus certainly could still significantly change how things play out this fall.
The Michigan State Spartans begin the season in Big Ten Conference play this Friday in Evanston, Illinois against the Northwestern Wildcats.
