Youngstown State posted solid offensive numbers in their opener and was led offensively by senior running back Jaleel McLaughlin — who racked up 288 total yards in the season-opening win. The Penguins’ defense was a different story, however, which was exposed in the passing game in giving up 352 passing yards to Incarnate Word.

Not a good match up for MSU. Talk about a guy who was robbed of national honors...

Michigan State will be a heavy favorite when it plays in front of fans in Spartan Stadium for the first time in nearly two years.

The Spartans open as 19.5-point favorites for their Saturday home opener against Youngstown State, according to a line posted on Tuesday morning by Draftkings.

Michigan State is favored by nearly three touchdowns after opening its 2021 season on Friday by beating Northwestern on the road by 17 points, behind a 264-yard, four-touchdown performance from Kenneth Walker III.

Maybe the challenges are about how the bus can navigate Michigan’s roads without falling into a giant hole or the wheels breaking off.

Roads are good right now. Orange barrels have been out for five months seeing them get fixed. Still have to navigate construction zones though.

He's a really good/great athlete, just not a really good/great RB.

Glad he stayed, and glad they found a great spot for him. And it's good for recruiting in Georgia.

who's going to the game/tailgating, etc?

I will be tailgating.. still trying to organize with our usual crew. We'll likely grab a beer or two beforehand at The Peanut Barrel.. then I'm gonna meander home for kickoff.
