Despite coming off the slowest week of the season — the bye — head coach Mark Dantonio took the podium to address the state of his team.
His Spartans take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish come Saturday in front of a national audience. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. on FOX as the two schools restore their historic rivalry.

The two schools square off next time in 2026, a long time away for the long-time rivals.
