Spartans . 2. team. 805. . 8-0 (5-0).

What a win for the Spartans, coming back and defeating Michigan 37-33.

Running back Kenneth Walker III may be the Heisman frontrunner now, thanks to his 197-yard, five-touchdown performance in this one.

This team is so dangerous because one game Walker will beat you, the next it’s Payton Thorne and his talented receivers tearing your defense apart. They showed a lot of fight to comeback from 16 down in the second half and the defense, despite giving up 33 points, made plays when it mattered most.

Michigan State does need to be cautious of the upset-minded Boilermakers this week, but there’s a reason this team came in at No. 3 in the first College Football Playoff Poll.
