1. A Michigan State football win

This one speaks for itself. After watching winless football for a month, I don’t just want to see Michigan State winning against Wisconsin, I need to see it.

The Spartans have struggled for the past four games against Washington, Minnesota, Maryland, and Ohio State — three of those teams have been ranked this season. They’ve been playing a poor brand of football and that needs to change against a very beatable Wisconsin team in East Lansing.

It’s Homecoming, it’s a chance to get back on track in front of the home crowd, and the opponent has struggled just as much this season outside of a blowout win over lowly Northwestern.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we need to see a Michigan State win this weekend both for morale purposes and for the sake of bowl hopes.

This is a winnable game and Mel Tucker needs to take care of business.
