Saturday's game against Youngstown State yielded a handful of key injuries for Jonathan Smith and Michigan State. The second-year head coach was pleased to end up with a win, but wasn't happy with how his team played defensively nor the injuries that piled up against an FCS foe.
Michigan State still found a way to win, 41-24, but the Spartans didn't do so without losing a handful of key bodies heading into Big Ten play against USC next week.
The Spartans lost Nick Marsh, Makhi Frazier, Alante Brown, and Luka Vincic on Saturday afternoon. Conner Moore also went down, but his injury wasn't addressed in the post-game presser by Smith, so it must not be that serious.
