The 2025 Michigan State football season has gone from bad to worse. After a 3-0 start, the Spartans lost to USC on the road by 14 points before gifting Nebraska a win after holding a second-half lead. Then, Jonathan Smith’s Spartans were dismantled at home by 1-4 UCLA on homecoming after jumping out to a quick 7-0 lead.
UCLA would go on to out-score Michigan State 38-6 from that point on.
The Spartans are in a bad place right now, and it starts at the top. Smith has had some tough questions to answer this week about his future, but he’s remaining focused on the team.
