Michigan State and Rutgers will play each other for the seventh time in their series history this Saturday, but only the second as Big Ten East divisional foes. The all-time series is tied 3-3, with Michigan State evening things up with a 45-3 win last season. There is a lot going on with the #4 ranked Spartans, including a litany of injuries and sub-par performances to start their season. I was fortunate this week to speak with MSU insider Austin Smith (@acsmith06) from The Only Colors. Our conversation is below, and make sure to check out their site to catch up on this weekend's opponent.
