Michigan State Spartans On SI · Yesterday
3 Big Storylines for MSU's Interesting Test vs. Washington
This Michigan State football team suddenly feels captivating again, even just temporarily.
MSU was considered dead in the water heading into last week's game against Michigan. The Spartans were 2-6 and perhaps the most injured team in the Big Ten. Michigan State found the guts to make it happen, though, regaining possession of the Paul Bunyan Trophy in a 15-6 win.
The Michigan game is the most important game of the season, but it's not the last one. MSU (3-6 overall, 1-5 Big Ten) now has to "grow up," per Pat Fitzgerald, and find enough again against Washington (5-4 overall, 2-4 Big Ten). These are the storylines to keep an eye on.
