While Spartan fans across the country have been soaking in and raving about MSU’s upset victory over then-No. 7 Michigan last weekend, the team has completely put that win in its rear-view mirror and have set the main focus on Minnesota.
Sam Metry, Souichi Terada, and Colton Wood are back to talk Spartan Football as they break down the Spartans upcoming matchup with the Golden Gophers. Later on in the show they make their Big Ten Picks and talk about whether or not the term "trap game" has been killed.
To better understand how the Minnesota Golden Gophers have looked thus far, The State News interviewed Jack Warrick, football beat writer for The Minnesota Daily, and asked him five questions about the team.
If the Spartans want to show that their defense is back they've got a great chance to prove it this week against Minnesota on the road, a team that has allowed just one sack on the year and is averaging 0.2 sacks per game.
After an upset road win over then-No. 7 Michigan Saturday, the Spartans are 4-1 and ranked in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time this season.
After MSU’s thrilling 14-10 win over Michigan, the rest of the nation was put on notice.

Sam Metry and Souichi Terada are back with an emergency podcast to breakdown the Spartans upset over Michigan last weekend. Terada and Metry talk the weather in Ann Arbor, MSU's defense's ability to force turnovers, and what this win means for the Spartans. Later in the show, the two talk about some of their favorite press room food.
Through wind and rain, MSU knocked off No. 7 Michigan 14-10 to move to 3-1 on the season.
The Spartans knew that if they were going to upset No. 7 Michigan Saturday night in Ann Arbor, they were going to have to create ways to run the ball more efficiently and win the turnover battle. When the rain had let up and the clock read 0:00 Saturday night, the Spartans did just that, and MSU won 14-10. The Spartans rushed for 158 yards and finished with a plus-5 turnover margin.
So welcome back to chaos, MSU fans. Just take your seat, after past years, there’s a spot already reserved for Dantonio’s teams.
