The Spartans
will continue to be stout on
the defensive side despite some
heavy hitters moving on from
the line of scrimmage. Riley
Bullough and Malik McDowell
are All-American type of contenders
to help seal the middle while
the secondary has a ton of experience.
Offensively, there will be growing
pains at the skill positions
from an offense that is more
built around being efficient
as opposed to dominating. Senior
quarterback Tyler O'Conner has
seen the field in crucial situations
already and should continue
to be the leader needed behind
center. Michigan State football
is at the top of their game
and will be the likely favorite
to repeat as Big Ten East Champion. |
