Ole Sparty is looking for an unheard of (in East Lansing), 3rd straight season of 11 wins however Mark Dantonio much replace school legend quarterback Mark Dantonio.
Andrew Maxwell will be the man charged with replacing Cousins and he'll be without last years top target, BJ Cunningham who has graduated. The running game and offensive line behind Fou Fonoti will once again be a strength as the Spartans will need to ease Maxwell into the offense. Fonoti did not allow a sack last season after starting the last 11 games.
Defensively, Michigan State returns eight starters, including standoutlineman William Gholston and linebacker Denicos Allen. Keep an eye on Lawrence Thomas. He's a man without a position but is too talented not to be on the field.
The season starts off on a very interesting note for Michigan State as they host Boise State. The annual clash with Notre Dame will be difficult as will the conference opener against Ohio State. A late October clash in Madison against Wisconsin could be a preview of the Big Ten Title game once again.
PREDICTION: 10-2 OVERALL, 6-2 CONFERENCE
