The Michigan State football defense opened the 2025 season with a bang, holding Western Michigan to zero points, and scoring two of their own on a second-half safety (they almost had two).
The Spartan defense out-scored Western Michigan's offense 2-0 on Friday night, leading to a season-opening win in a buzzing East Lansing on a holiday weekend. They suffocated Brady Jones and Broc Lowry, holding the two quarterbacks to a total of 188 yards and an interception on 16 combined completions on 33 attempts. It was a great defensive showing.
It was so good, in fact, that it was one of just three Big Ten defenses that didn't allow a single point in Week 1, along with Wisconsin and Purdue.
