Looking at the schedule, I’m thinking a record similar to last year is likely. tOfficial 2022 MSU Football Thread 2599972566

With a new O-line and unknow running backs unless the defensive backfield ups its game I would be very happy with 8 wins.

Having OSU - Wisconsin - Bye - Michigan in a row is a tough 4 weeks.

3-0 in that stretch. We scrimmage the browns in our bye week and kick their ass

Is MT interested? The RBs room is pretty full as it stands now, including a couple more high quality backs coming in.

Anybody else here not know there were Peregrine falcons nesting on Spartan Stadium?

The falcon box is new this year, there is a thread about it on TOB. There are also falcon boxes with web cams at the BWL in Lansing and at Wayne State.

I have been checking in before they laid the first egg. There were four eggs, one did not hatch (not uncommon). The chicks are about three weeks old and will remain in the box for about three to four more weeks until they fledge. After that you won't see much of them. Falcons almost exclusively eat other birds and I find it interesting to go back in the feed to see what types of birds the parents caught that day.

A neighbor who works on campus sent me the link when the eggs were a few days old. Been crazy watching this process. It’s been a freaking bloodbath for nearby wildlife since the hatchlings first appeared. Mom and dad bringing back whole birds and tearing them apart to feed the babies. Nature is a violent bitch.

by **tGreenWay** 2022-06-02, 12:25

And btw, just having the live feed in the background while working at my desk has been pretty cool.

Voting right now is 9 wins or better with a win over either M or OSU

10 wins or better, including the bowl game, but totally expect 14-0

The Spartans will have an 0for season. Blanked even by Western and Akron.

That's unreasonable.
More likely a final 4 team.

MSU football will win 20 games in the 2022 season. We will win each of those games by scores of 20-0, having scored 10 safeties in each game.

I believe SI's analysis staff are usually kids applying to the school they are covering, so really, it's not a bad article for a high school kid, I guess.

Most people don't realize how difficult that would be to do. Here's what makes that so tough: in the final game, with MSU up 18-0 on nine safeties and the opposing offense about to step on the field one more time, you just know the opposing coach is going to stop his guys and say, "Hey, watch out for the safety."

Thinking about subscribing. The Ask Hondo feature alone probably makes it worth it.

Naming the preseason offensive MVP for each Big Ten offense in 2022

Michigan State: WR Jayden Reed
Reed gets bonus points for how vital he is to the Spartans on special teams. He averaged 21.6 yards per punt return with a pair of touchdowns on the 11 instances opponents were foolish enough to punt to him last year. (Cough, Nebraska.)

But this is more about what he can do with the ball in his hands as a wideout. Reed was 2nd in the B1G last year with an average of 17.4 yards per catch, and 4th with 10 touchdowns. His connection with quarterback Payton Thorne goes back to high school, and the duo will continue the magic for Michigan State this year.

quarterback Payton Thorne ?

THis might be the year that the QB has the most effect.
