Though Michigan State is 3-1 through the month of September, the Spartans face some real tests against Michigan, Penn State, Purdue and Northwestern in October.
It could be the toughest month of the season for the green and white, but there’s a chance they could head to November with a 7-1 record. If that’s the case, Michigan State will have put itself in good position to make a run at the College Football Playoff as well as a Big Ten East title.
Plenty of fixes can be made within this team to turn things around and make them more than just an average Big Ten squad.
