Folks, it's game week. That's right, the first official game week of the year for Michigan State football is upon us, and the Spartans are busy preparing for a battle with Western Michigan.

Jonathan Smith spoke to the media on Monday in preparation for the season opener, and he gave some interesting updates, including one on star tight end Jack Velling.

The senior transfer from Oregon State is entering his second season with the Spartans, and there are some sky-high expectations for him. He has the potential to be an All-Big Ten first-teamer, but he has to remain healthy.
