After the football team moved up to the No. 16 ranked, here is what you missed in other Spartan sports.
In the mind of any and every Spartan fan, this 6-1 start has been a dream; a fairytale that hasn’t quite ended yet. Even the optimists would have never predicted such a bounceback for head coach Mark Dantonio’s team.
As Brian Lewerke's pass floated into the hands of a wide-open Felton Davis for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown, thousands of beer-clenching MSU fans tailgating around campus loosened their grip on their cans a little bit and exhaled a sigh of relief.
Homecoming week is upon us. The week-long event celebrates current students and alumni alike. Two of those alumni, Dave Rysztak of Haslett and Charlie Thomas of Okemos, are being showcased by The State News.
As avid MSU football supporters, my father and I – season ticket holders at Spartan Stadium – travel to at least one away game every year to experience the environment of the towns and stadiums in the city. In years past, we’ve done Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Maryland, Northwestern, two Big Ten Championship games in Indianapolis and Pasadena for the 2014 Rose Bowl. Each trip, I try to write about my experience there compared to the scene in East Lansing.
After a weekend filled with mostly Spartan victories, here is the roundup for the week.
MSU defeated No. 7 Wisconsin 3-1 on Saturday afternoon, their second victory over Wisconsin this season. The Spartans officially are 5-1 in the Big Ten Conference

University of Michigan is ranked number seven in the country. When a team is ranked that high, it’s usually a sign of elite play on both sides of the ball.

Monday afternoon marked the first day of practice for the women’s basketball team one month before they kickoff the season against Lake Superior State on Nov 5.
It’s only four games into the season, but under the microscope of a wanting fan base, the Spartan faithful has already made its impression on the man under center, quarterback Brian Lewerke.
The Spartans opened up conference play with a bang.
After a 38-18 loss to Notre Dame last weekend, MSU will look to rebound for its first loss of the season and win its first conference game of the season Saturday against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
In ways, Iowa football is a walking contradiction.
MSU will be back on the gridiron this Saturday as the Spartans will face the Iowa Hawkeyes in their first Big Ten Conference game of the season.
Let’s get this clear and out of the way — comparing this Spartan team to the 2016 edition isn’t just simple, it’s lazy.
Josiah Scott is well aware of the national attention he has generated.
Everybody knew it coming into the season. Besides bouncing back from a 3-9 season, the talk surrounding this MSU team was simple — the Spartans are young, incredibly so.
