DawgmanRadio: Our Michigan State Pregame Show!

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - hit the snooze button only once this morning to get up bright and early to talk about today's Washington-Michigan State game. Well, two of us did. Kim is in East Lansing, Mich. to get all the pregame and postgame news while Chris and Scott keep things locked down at home.To start the show, Kim talked about the first thing that comes to mind when looking at the matchups for this game, namely the injury situation for the Huskies and who may be missing today's game.Matteo Mele, Asa Turner, and Davon Banks all got hurt in UW's win over Tulsa in week two, but Huskies Head Coach Kalen DeBoer said this week that a couple of players that did not play against the Golden Hurricane - Faatui Tuitele and Zion Tupuola-Fetui - are expected to be available to play the Spartans.So how will the injuries affect what the Huskies want to do on both sides of the ball? And who will be the 'next men up' to fill roles if that's required?Will the Huskies have enough to force MSU QB Noah Kim to throw the ball in certain down-and-distance situations? Can they slow down UConn transfer RB Nathan Carter?And on the offensive side of things, will the Huskies be able to generate enough of a run game to keep Michigan State honest? Will they continue to put receivers in the backfield to help supplement the running backs group? And will that even matter if Michael Penix Jr. is given time to find his targets?Scott talks a little bit about recruiting, how many he expects the Huskies to sign for the 2024 class from the high school ranks, and how that number is going to reflect how many players they could take from the transfer portal.The guys close the show out with their final thoughts on the game and what the Huskies need to do to move to 3-0 on the season.
