The first half of the 2017 season is in the books and fans, coaches and players have to feel good about the start Michigan State has gotten off to. Flash back about two months. If I were to tell you that Michigan State would be 5-1 with a road win over Michigan by the halfway point in the season, you would have called me crazy.
And I wouldn’t have blamed you.
This team has far exceeded expectations in the first half and there’s still plenty of growth to be made. The Spartans are looking like serious contenders in the Big Ten East, but there’s still half a season to play with the top two teams in the division still on the schedule.
