Michigan State opens up the season this Friday, and starts things off against Florida Atlantic. This is a perfect tune up game for the Spartans for a couple reasons.
Florida Atlantic was 4-8 last season. Despite having a decent offseason through the transfer portal, the Owls still do not look to be much threat to the Spartans, especially after MSU made so many big positive moves this offseason. FAU also lost their best player from last season, LaJohntay Webster, to Colorado.
The FAU defense was bad last season, especially giving up balls over the middle. If Aiden Chiles is able to be stable, be patient, and find Jack Velling over the middle, it will be an easy victory for the Spartans. As long as Chiles can be smart, it will be a perfect tune up game before a big conference challenge vs Maryland.
Lastly, with Michigan State having some challenging games coming up, the Spartans need to play some games to get them prepared for the future, especially with the inexperience that this team has with each other.
