We are just hours away from kickoff, and it's hard to believe that football is back. Friday's Michigan State vs. Western Michigan game will capture the attention of college football fans everywhere.
Michigan State isn't exactly a powerhouse these days after missing a bowl in three straight seasons, and Western Michigan is a middle-of-the-pack MAC program, but it feels like these two teams could surprise some people this season. The Spartans have the talent to turn things around in year two of Jonathan Smith, but it all needs to come together.
The Spartans were 5-7 a year ago, but they bring back pretty much everyone, including star quarterback Aidan Chiles and sophomore phenom Nick Marsh.
