But then, there were the other times. Michigan State will find out a lot about its season next week in prime time at home against No. 7 Oregon. Michigan State opens the season Friday night on the road about 65 miles from campus against the Broncos. The victory was a game of firsts in many ways.

This game vs. Western Michigan-not overly impressive for the Spartans-was about kicking the tires on a few areas of concern for Michigan State.
“I’m gonna make sure it does happen (again)”.
MSU’s offense was among the best in college football last season, averaging 501 yards per game (11th) and 43 points (7th), and it won’t be any different in 2015.
Can They Make The Playoff? He finished the season with 1,551 yards rushing, a school-record 24 touchdowns on the ground and became the conference’s first to win the MAC Offensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors in one year.
Those are Mark Dantonio’s words.
As always, all picks are for entertainment purposes only!
WMU’s Davis capped a 15-play, 75 yard-drive with his 17-yard touchdown snag with 1:37 left in the third quarter, and sophomore tight end Jeremiah Mullinax pulled in a 29-yard touchdown with 11:09 remaining in the fourth. This is some of the best passing personnel the Spartans will see in 2015.

You would have to think this is the most obvious reason right?
MSU gained 452 total yards, outrushing the Broncos 196 to 18, with freshman LJ Scott leading the way with 77 yards on 13 carries. Redshirt freshman Madre London had 59 yards on 13 totes with two scores. An experienced player, though, is taking Mariota’s place. And that day we watched Michigan, in Lloyd Carr’s final game, upset Tim Tebow and Florida.
“It took a little bit of time just because of the sheer amount of people but the traffic flow and pedestrian flow was pretty consistent out of the area”, Merlo said.
When the Broncos were making a comeback in the second half, no one at Waldo Stadium seemed more fired up than their 34-year-old coach.
