Week 2 of college football is upon us, and the Michigan State Spartans are getting ready to square off with the Arizona State Sun Devils in Tempe late Saturday night.
Both schools enter the matchup with 1-0 records. ASU won in convincing fashion over a lesser opponent in the University of Texas at San Antonio, while MSU struggled against a lesser opponent in Utah State.
Saturday marks the first meeting between these two programs since 1986. Let’s see what the second game of the season has in store for us.
