The leaves are changing colors, the weather is getting that crisp feeling, and you can almost smell the hot dogs and brats on the grill which means just one thing: football is back. With the return of Michigan State football on Friday night, fans finally got a taste of improvement.
All offseason, Spartan fans heard about how much the team has improved depth-wise and offensively, but they got to see it in action on Friday night in a 23-6 win over Western Michigan.
Michigan State opened the season with a comfortable win, but it ended rather disappointingly with just two second-half points on a safety in the third quarter.
