They often say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. With that being said, let's preview this week's opponent: the Michigan State Spartans.
Coach Leonidas Dantonio
In 480 B.C., Leonidas led 300 Spartans on a suicide mission against the largest army ever assembled. The men battled valiantly, fighting against all odds and a toughness that had never been seen before. Eventually, the last man fell, and the tiresome Persians declared victory.
This historic battle runs parallel to No. 18 Michigan State’s football program. The Spartans of Ancient Greece were positioned against a much larger enemy.
