Special Teams Steal the Show | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State opens Pat Fitzgerald’s era with a gritty 30-20 win over Toledo, powered by special teams—kicker Liam Boyd nailed five field goals, including a career-long 51-yarder. The offense showed flashes, led by accurate QB Alessio Milivojevic and a strong opening drive from Cam Edwards, though Edwards’ cramping limited his impact later. Defense struggled with big plays, including a costly misread touchdown pass, while the offensive line battled penalties and a late sack that killed a scoring chance. Coaching was bold early with aggressive fourth-down calls but overall conservative. A solid start, but plenty of room to grow as the season unfolds.
