Staff shuffle, depth on offense among MSU spring storylines
(Photo: John T. Greilick / Detroit News)East Lansing — Michigan State begins spring practice on Tuesday, and coming off a bounce-back season in 2017, there will be plenty of optimism surrounding the football building.
That optimism exists not only because the Spartans had their biggest turnaround in program history by improving seven games to record their sixth 10-win season in the last eight, but they did so with a young roster that remains virtually intact heading into 2018.
Behind quarterback Brian Lewerke and young playmakers on both sides of the ball, Michigan State will almost certainly be competing for the Big Ten East title once again after finishing second last season.
