Through three weeks, Jonathan Smith and Michigan State football have remained perfect. While the record is technically "perfect", the play on the field has been anything but.
The Spartans looked strong defensively in a Week 1 win over Western Michigan, holding the Broncos to zero points on the defensive end as the only touchdown came on a pick-six courtesy of Alessio Milivojevic. They followed that up with an impressive offensive showing in Week 2, thanks to clutch plays from Aidan Chiles, beating Boston College. Then, Week 3 brought the most concern.
Michigan State struggled to really put Youngstown State away, leading by seven at halftime, and then just 10 in the fourth quarter before a late touchdown gave the Spartans a 41-24 win.
