Previewing the 2021 Michigan State Spartans

When Husker fans last saw Michigan State, it was a touchdown-free game in the snow that gave us the impression that Scott Frost’s Huskers’ had turned the corner in 2018. That may have been a false read based on a single game in ugly weather conditions against an opponent on a downward trajectory. Mark Dantonio retired after the 2019 season, with Mel Tucker taking over for a schizophrenic 2020 season that symbolized the dysfunctional COVID season. The Spartans went 2-5, but the wins probably were some of the most surprising results of the Big Ten season. One week after looking inept against Rutgers with seven turnovers, the Spartans went into the Big House and led Michigan the entire afternoon.
