Fitzgerald’s First Win Lights Up Spartan Season | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State opens the season with a 30-20 win over Toledo, marking head coach Pat Fitzgerald’s first victory since August 2022. The game was tightly contested, with Toledo briefly taking the lead in the fourth quarter on a 71-yard run, but MSU answered with a crucial touchdown pass and sealed the win with a long field goal. Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic shone, throwing for over 200 yards and a TD, while the offense dazzled in the first half—scoring on every possession, even if they settled for kicks at times. Toledo, led by new coach Mike Jacobs, fought valiantly and showed promise despite the loss. Both teams now face mid-tier opponents next: MSU hosts Eastern Michigan, while Toledo takes on Central Connecticut State. A strong start for Fitzgerald—and a team to watch for Toledo as the season unfolds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
