2. Jayden Reed

Jayden Reed has come to life over the past couple of weeks.

It only took him getting healthy to look like his normal self. He has had a resurgence since the Ohio State game and it’s beautiful to see.

When Reed is healthy and playing like he’s capable, he’s nearly unstoppable.

If the Spartans want to have any chance on Saturday, Reed needs to have his best game of the season which is totally possible because he’s had back-to-back huge outings against Ohio State and Wisconsin. He’s seen some good defensive backs and Michigan will be sending more his way. He’ll have to pass the test and it’s not going to be easy.

Payton Thorne has to find him early and often and he knows good things happen when he connects with Reed. Just throw the ball his way.
