Saturday night's Michigan State vs. USC game will be the first Big Ten contest for the Spartans this season, and they'll be looking to prove some doubters wrong despite a 3-0 start.
Yes, Michigan State is 3-0, but that doesn't mean the Spartans have earned respect nationally. Michigan State has fallen short of expectations on the defensive side of the ball, but the offense has been solid. Aidan Chiles looks like one of the most improved players in the conference, while the receiving corps is one of the best in the country.
Fortunately for Michigan State, Nick Marsh and Makhi Frazier are returning to the lineup on Saturday night after getting knocked out of the Youngstown State game.
