Michigan State football is at a crossroads. After a frustrating 31–13 loss, the This Is Sparta crew breaks down why this season has quickly become a fight for pride—and why the issues surrounding the program go much deeper than one game or one quarterback. Jason Strayhorn, Sedrick Irvin, Chon “SlowSippa” Taylor, Spencer, and Swerve talk candidly about: MSU's offensive struggles, injuries, quarterback play, and whether the team needs changes now Why the Spartans appear overmatched physically in Big Ten matchups The importance of culture, player development, and finding an identity under the new staff Whether Michigan State is investing enough in NIL, recruiting, and retaining talent Why former Spartans and recruits have found success elsewhere How programs such as Northwestern, Iowa, Indiana, USC, Alabama, and others are navigating the new college-football landscape Nick Saban's comments on NIL, player movement, and the changing power structure in college athletics What it will take for Michigan State to become competitive again—and why patience cannot mean accepting mediocrity The Disney goggles are off. This is an honest conversation about where Michigan State football stands, what must improve, and why the next stretch of games matters for every player, coach, and recruit in the program. Go Green.

This week on This Is Sparta MSU, Stray, Chon "SlowSippa," and Sedrick "Swerve" Irvin break down Michigan State's tough loss to Notre Dame — highlighting a dominant second-quarter stretch from the offense and a breakout game from linebacker Jordan Hall (currently the No. 5 graded linebacker in college football) that has the crew asking whether the Spartans can build on that energy heading into Nebraska. Then Jeremy Campbell, Founder and CEO of Legacy Sports Management & Media and a former Rutgers Big Ten standout, joins the show to talk about what actually separates his agency in the NIL era, how the market really values players (productivity plus personal brand), and what it costs to field a playoff-caliber roster in 2026 — he puts the number at high-$20M to mid-$30M, while MSU's known football spend is closer to $20M short of that mark. The conversation turns political with a breakdown of the "Protect College Sports Act," the lack of player-side representation in its drafting, and the optics around who's being used to sell it to fans. The guys also dig into MSU's $400M athletics donation — and why almost none of it is actually reaching the football roster today — before closing with predictions for this week's home game against Nebraska.

Offense vs UTEP Starts at 0:54 Well eventually that's what it should've looked like. UTEP had a lot of their yards on one drive but negative yards in the second half. If the events of this game had happened in a different order, it would've felt better (Michigan's win % on ESPN only got down to 92.7%). Beck made some nice technical decisions, the offense adjusted a lot to what the defense was giving them. From experience, Brian thinks Sprague has Norovirus. This would've been a nice game to give Babalola a chance. Michigan simplified things to reduce the frippery in the run game. UTEP tried to be Oklahoma on defense and it worked for about a drive and a half. Michigan saw a stacked box and started throwing it. Travis Johnson saw his first real play time and looked nice. Even when Bryce's throws aren't perfect his receivers are night and day from last year so let them go and make a play. Is some of the blocking a result of Playbook-Itus? Andrew Marsh wouldn't have been practicing sweeps much last year. Is stretch also an under-practiced play? The Marshall-cat worked all three times. How much of Hiter's fumble was his fault? It was helmet to ball but his posture was high. Bryson Kuzdzal came in after the fumble because Jordan Marshall was dinged up and on a pitch count. There was an Owens cat! Beigel does move people but doesn't combo. They were eventually so good at stretch last year and it feels a little bit like they threw away its development. Their best lineman isn't utilized in power. It seemed pretty clear that they were intentionally trying to give Andrew Marsh the ball, he's not been targeted much in the first two games. Catch and run slants could be a dangerous tool and help out the rest of the run game. We're seeing the extent of the wide receiver depth chart and getting more guys involved. Poor Ffrench. Tommy Carr probably would've started on either Sherrone Moore team.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs UTEP Starts at 56:43 Defensively that was what you would've wanted to see. There were a couple big plays and other than that UTEP didn't do anything. Michigan's defensive line got held up a bit in the first two drives and then after that the defensive line had free paths to the quarterback. They run into Tariq Boney twice and he blows up the play. Is he more like Josiah Stewart than Josh Uche? Cam Brandt is a defensive tackle now?? Suddenly the defensive ends are like seven deep? Lea'ea touchdown because he back-tracked on a screen! We will still be complaining about Wink Martindale 20 years from now. The Mouton comp of Troy Bowles is prevalent. The linebackers had a slow day since the defensive line was having their way. Zeke Berry was injured so Shamari Earls started, he's almost there. You can see why Snowden was a star. Was the second UTEP touchdown supposed to be Bracy's guy to cover? Give Tommy Carr a number that looks like Cam Brown's so you can do a fake punt. 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory Starts at 1:20:15 Takes hotter than Michigan's offense in the second half for the first time all year. 49 yard field goal feels good, we thought Butkowski would max out at 45 yards. That was a silly opening kickoff where Kuzdzal had to field it. Andrew Marsh fielded a punt over his shoulder with a gunner that could've gone poorly. UTEP, you can kick a field goal or onside it but don't do both! Michigan had nice time management in the first half. Only four penalties! Most of these holds wouldn't be called if Aidan Hutchinson was on the field. It's fun that the kickoff team pumps up the crowd now. What was up with the roughing the passer penalty? UTEP went through all of their timeouts faster than we've ever seen. Let's talk about Ole Miss going for two against LSU since it's interesting.    4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:54:59 Lightning Round: Minnesota 41, Akron 7 Penn State 55, Buffalo 13 Wisconsin 54, EMU 10 Ohio State 59, Kent State 3 Illinois 48, Southern Illinois 10 Iowa 55, Northern Iowa 0 Washington 48, Eastern Washington 16 Indiana 38, Western Kentucky 0 Nebraska 34, North Dakota 7 Oregon 84, Portland State 0 USC 43, Rutgers 35 This was... not a fluke?? Rutgers was moving the ball all game. USC won this because of a pick six at the goal line. This might be the most stunning indictment of Lincoln Riley's ability to build a defense. We're comparing USC to Boston College and UMass?? This seems to say a lot more about USC than it does about Rutgers.  Northwestern 41, Colorado 7 This was not listed in the lightning round because the yardage here was much closer than the score. Colorado was -3 in turnover margin. If Aidan Chiles can throw the ball then that changes things. This was Northwestern's last game at the beach stadium! Michigan State 10, Notre Dame 27 Closer to what we expected from Michigan State this year. MSU had 167 total yards and 53 of them came off of one pass play. They're running the right plays, they just don't have the athletes to run them.  UCLA 52, Purdue 38 Nico Iamaleava is a gazelle of a human. Purdue's defense looks abominable. Semaj Morgan had four catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns. This game had 1133 total yards of offense. UCLA's defense looks as shaky as USC's.  Maryland 26, Virginia Tech 35 Maryland has 2.8 YPC with their running backs. They can't get away from James Franklin. Sorry Maryland, this is just who you are.   MUSIC: "El Paso"—Howdy "Backyard Lover"—Merce Lemon "Indu"—Greg Freeman “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra
