Speaking on the Herd, Klatt had this to say about MSU:
"I looked over the last year, year and a half, and the best program in college football over that time frame is Michigan State. They have only lost three games in the last three years. Last year they only lost to the two final participants. They’ve got one of the best wins of the year beating Oregon at home. They have earned the number one spot. They have the best pro prospect at quarterback. And I think they have right now, the best coach in college football, because what he’s doing and Colin, more importantly, where he’s doing it. He’s built this in East Lansing. This is not Ohio State, this is not a blue blood historically. He’s winning more than Nick Saban did."
