REACTION: MSU football beats Wisconsin; Who shined the brightest? And what concerns are still there? Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

IT'S A VICTORY SHOW! MSU football took double overtime to do it, but they downed Wisconsin thanks to a great effort by the Spartans. We start with the offensive stars from Jayden Reed and Keon Coleman to the offensive line that kept Payton Thorne upright for the bulk of the afternoon.

We also riff on the defense that had its best game of the season, thanks to having Xavier Henderson, Jacob Slade and Simeon Barrow back and moving Jacoby Windmon back to linebacker.

And then...we need to talk about the late-game clock management by Mel Tucker and Co. and the other odd decisions we saw on Saturday.

Clay Wedin decommits; MSU football flipping a 4-star? How bad have third downs gotten? Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

4-star offensive lineman Clay Wedin decommits from the 2023 class and now leaves MSU with 13 commits. What does this mean for the program, and do we believe that it had nothing to do with MSU's struggles on the field?

We then shine a potential light on a top 400 recruit that could potentially be flipping to Mel Tucker and the Spartans.

Also, just how bad have third downs gotten for the Spartans defense? We look at some painful numbers from their last four games.

And before getting to Kevin Warren's media day quotes, we highlight MSU women's soccer and their success on the field.
