Michigan State football 2022 season preview and predictions

This week on the Big 10 Takeover is a season preview of the Michigan State Spartans. The Spartans entered the season without wildly high expectations, but whatever they were, Mel Tucker and company certainly eclipsed them. The Spartans finished the season ranked in the top 10, which included wins against Penn State, Pittsburgh in the Peach Bowl, and a thrilling win against their rival, Michigan. After the departures of multiple starters on the offensive line, star running back Kenneth Walker III, and stud wide receiver Jalen Nailor, can Michigan State replicate their success in 2022? #Big10 #MichiganState
