The Michigan State Spartans football team made its first appearance in a New Year’s Six bowl game during the 2021 season since the 2015 College Football Playoffs, defeating the Pittsburgh Panthers in the Peach Bowl.
On the heels of a breakout performance by running back Kenneth Walker III, MSU won all but two games (Ohio State and Purdue), and even defeated all three of its rivals (Michigan, Penn State and Indiana).
In head coach Mel Tucker’s third season, the Spartans have a lot to look forward to.
For one, wide receiver Jayden Reed is coming back for another season, stemming some of the talent lost by Jalen Nailor who declared for the NFL Draft.
