You don’t learn a ton from games that don’t count, but there are some things you just can’t discount about certain players or the team in general. On Tuesday, the Spartans opened the season with an exhibition game against Albion and came away with a 35-point win.
While we couldn’t exactly tell if the Spartans are deserving of a No. 1 ranking nationally, there were some players who stood out and gave fans flashes of what to expect.
One guy who took center stage more often than not was freshman forward Malik Hall. He not only looked like Goins with a little more strength, he even wears the same number.
