EAST LANSING – Jalen Berger paused and quickly chuckled.
One of Michigan State football’s two running back transfers knows his new team’s schedule includes an Oct. 15 game against his old program, Wisconsin.
“Yeah,” Berger said with a grin Monday, “I’ve looked at it.”
A homecoming game for the Spartans, and a chance to exorcise some old ghosts for the one-time Badger.
First, Berger must battle Colorado transfer Jarek Broussard and others for carries during the Spartans’ preseason camp going into the Sept. 2 opener against Western Michigan.
That competition continues Friday in MSU’s second scrimmage of preseason camp.
