Michigan State's Opponents Look Vulnerable | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State opened 2026 with a win over Toledo, but the real story?

Illinois relied on turnovers, Northwestern barely held off an FCS team, UCLA’s win over Cal was nervewracking until late turnovers, Michigan survived a last-second miracle against Western Michigan, Washington’s defense carried them, Oregon trailed early and fought back, and shockingly, Rutgers got crushed by UMass as a favorite.
