Chiles still holding down the fort and pointing out places where he and the team needs improve before Boston College, as usual. Charles Brantley also had some nice quotes about his record-breaking pick-six.

Typically, the title of backup quarterback is not all that desirable.

For Michigan State’s Tommy Schuster, though, he knew the situation when he committed to the Spartans out of the transfer portal.

After a historic career at North Dakota where he was the Fighting Hawks’ all-time leading passer, Schuster opted to spend his final year of college eligibility in his home state of Michigan with the Spartans.

He was well aware that first year head coach Jonathan Smith was bringing the talented dual-threat incoming sophomore Aidan Chiles to East Lansing with him.

Chiles had the head start over Schuster as he knew the coaching staff and the offensive system well.

Despite his role changing from being the guy under center all game long to being the backup QB, Schuster still wanted to be a Spartan.

“Coming in the portal, I weighed a couple of my options,” he said after Michigan State’s 40-0 win over Prairie View A&M on Saturday in which he scores his first touchdown as a Spartan. “Being able to play for the home state Big Ten school, Michigan State, was really big for me - to be a part of this. I just believe in what (Coach Smith) is building here. It’s really something I wanted to be a part of. Obviously, I knew the circumstances coming in, it’d be a different role, but just really wanted to be a part of this.”

Interesting to see Indiana going out West and playing well despite the time zone. We seem to struggle with the time change when we go out West.

Adam Decker will always be remembered for his hit on Iowa running back Shonn Greene, which saved MSU on Homecoming in 2008.

Decker's work ethic and team-first approach made him special in teammates' eyes.

RIP Adam. Spartandawgs for life.
