Coach Jonathan Smith and the Michigan State Spartans face a brutal four-game stretch midway through the season. This heightens the importance of the games before and after that stretch of the football season..
As the summer continues, Coach Jonathan Smith and Michigan State inch closer to the first season of a new era of Spartans football. Coach Smith and his coaching staff have already faced many hurdles in just a short time in East Lansing. However, they have recovered relatively well from most of the setbacks they have had this offseason.
The Spartans will soon kick off the season against Florida Atlantic August 30 in East Lansing. It will be the first glimpse of the work Coach Smith and Michigan State’s players have put in this offseason. Although it will only be the first game of the season, considering how Michigan State’s schedule is set up, it is a must win for the Green and White if they plan on having a successful season.
Michigan State’s next three games after that are against Maryland on the road, Prairie View A&M at home and Boston College on the road. The first four games of the season will be critical for Michigan State. They must beat Florida Atlantic and Prarie View A&M, while it is likely they will, there are few guarantees for any team in college football, especially one with as many changes as the Spartans have made this offseason.
The Spartans have to win those two games, then hope they at least beat either Maryland or Boston college on the road. However, even if they lost those two games, they would still be at 2-2 before entering a brutal four-game stretch against Ohio State, Oregon, Iowa and Michigan. The rebuilding Spartans could very well lose all four of those games and sitting at 2-4 heading into the final four games of the season.four games of the season are against Indiana, Illinois, Purdue and Rutgers.
