Notes & Quotes: Michigan State gearing up for rivalry week versus Michigan

The Michigan State football program held its weekly assistant coach/player media availability on Tuesday ahead of the rivalry week matchup with Michigan on Saturday night.

Spartan quarterback Payton Thorne started things off at the podium, talking about the team using last week’s bye to get as healthy as possible before heading to Ann Arbor.

The extra week was not all rest and relaxation, however, as Thorne said the team was watching film as usual preparing for the Wolverines.

“It’s a deep dive every week,” Thorne said of the team’s approach to watching opponent’s film.
