Ahead of Saturday’s matchup between the Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-0) and the Michigan State Spartans (2-1) in East Lansing, we were able to connect with Ryan O’Bleness, managing editor of The Only Colors, and he was kind enough to field our questions.
The Daily Gopher: With one loss, Michigan State went from a No. 11 ranking to tumbling out of the AP Top 25. What did that loss to Washington tell you about this Spartans team and has it led you to reset your expectations the rest of the way?
Ryan O’Bleness: The road game against Washington was always going to be the first real test for Michigan State and show where the Spartans truly stand in 2022.
