Milivojevic’s Rise and Defense’s Backbone

Michigan State football is poised for a rebuilding year under new head coach Pat Fitzgerald, who’s prioritizing player development over immediate wins. Fresh off a disappointing 4-8 season marred by turnovers and offensive struggles, the Spartans are banking on rising star QB Alessio Milivojevic to grow into his role, especially after his standout performance against Maryland. With key targets like wide receiver Chrishon McCray stepping up and veteran linebacker Jordan Hall anchoring a defense that thrives on leadership, MSU aims to build chemistry and momentum. Though they’ll skip the annual rivalry with Penn State, their challenging schedule — starting with Toledo and featuring tough Big Ten matchups — sets the stage for a season of growth and potential playoff hopes.
