It is certainly not an easy time to be an MSU sports fan right now. Our football program has not been to a bowl game since we defeated Pitt in the Peach Bowl at the end of the 2021 season.

In short, MSU has the 2nd highest percentage of minutes coming back (behind Minnesota) and also the 2nd highest number of players returning with 9 (behind the 10 of Iowa and Purdue). In addition, the Spartans have just one…
