Matt Charboneau of The Detroit News predicts Michigan State’s season, game by game.
Aug. 31 vs. Utah State
It’s back to Friday night for Michigan State’s opener, and the expectation will be for the Spartans to cruise past its opponent from the Mountain West. However, the Aggies are far from a cupcake after getting back to a bowl game last season. They return all five starters up front offensively and have plenty of experience on defense, as well. There could be some early season hiccups, but expect Michigan State to come out on top, though it might not be a blowout.
