No. 14 Michigan State is riding high into Week 2 after pulling away late from Western Michigan to start the season on the right foot. The Spartans will try to build the momentum against another Mid-American Conference foe, Akron, on Saturday.
Michigan State is looking to find new contributors defensively after losing linebacker Darius Snow for the season and safety Xavier Henderson indefinitely. Mel Tucker and defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton will be on the search for new someone to step up and fill those holes.
The Spartans are coming off a nice showcase offensively to start the season and will try to tune up against another overmatched defense.
