How To Watch Michigan State At Notre Dame – Details, Quick Facts, And Predictions
Week 3 sees Michigan State playing in our first road game of the season and it just may end up being our toughest opponent of 2026. Notre Dame is #3 in the rankings, among the favorites to win the national championship, and has a quarterback, CJ Carr, who was the preseason favorite to win the […]
Getting To Know The Enemy: 6Qs About The Notre Dame Fighting Irish
With the smaller MAC schools portion of the season behind us, we are moving forward to play teams that have their own SB Nation sites (UCLA, which is on our schedule, and USC do not have their own sites).

Michigan State vs. Notre Dame Game Preview
After Saturday’s 35-7 win over Eastern Michigan, it’s probably safe to say that the football season is meeting expectations thus far for Michigan State. The Spartans had a rough third quarter against Toledo but responded for a 30-20 win. Then, it was a rough second quarter against Eastern before halftime adjustments – perhaps more executional […]
The Film Room: Eastern Michigan Edition
Being 2 & 0 feels great! There are still plenty of things to clean up, but I’m enjoying watching this Michigan State team figure out what it can be under fiery Pat Fitzgerald. Saturday gave us some frustrating stretches, some encouraging individual performances, and a finish that had the sideline fired up. Robbie and I […]
Cam Edwards: Running Away With Player Of The Game Award
Two weeks down and two wins in the books. The week 2 win over Eastern Michigan was certainly a much more comfortable victory for MSU. As such, we saw a number of Spartans make their case for player of the game, both on offense and on defense. Unlike game 1, the special teams was not […]

MSU vs Eastern Michigan Weather Report
Saturday was an absolute beauuuutiful day for football in East Lansing. Game two is always a favorite of mine each season. The alumni band is present and seeing so many members with the current band all at once is something special. Shout out to the 50 year anniversary of the color guard too. It is […]
Instant Recap: Spartans blow out Eagles 35-7
That’s two wins in a row. I felt a little worried after the first half, but they looked like a new team in the second. This was a fun win for MSU, and they showed improvement after their Week 1 win against Toledo. Coach Fitzgerald is now 2-0 as Michigan State’s head coach. Hopefully there’s […]
Game Thread: Michigan State Vs. Eastern Michigan

After an offseason filled with change and plenty of unknowns, we finally have some actual football to break down. Michigan State opened the Pat Fitzgerald era with a 30–20 win over Toledo.

Instant Recap: Michigan State opens with a 30-20 win over Toledo
Football season is officially back, and Michigan State is 1-0. It was a game of ups and downs, as is tradition lately for MSU, but Coach Fitzgerald and his staff kept the team focused as they were able to persevere after surrendering the lead in the third quarter. My anxiety levels rose as we neared […]
