Breaking down Michigan State-Notre Dame

Michigan State and Notre Dame renew their rivalry Saturday night at Notre Dame Stadium after a three-year hiatus. The meeting also marks the 50th anniversary of their “Game of the Century” matchup in 1966, a 10-10 tie. The jury is still out on both teams this early in the season, but Big Ten reporter Dan Murphy and ACC reporter Matt Fortuna take a crack at breaking down the matchup.

How to beat Michigan State: The Spartans remain somewhat of a mystery in 2016. A team with a ton of turnovers has played only one game (a lackluster victory over FCS Furman) so far this season.
