We did it, everyone. We made it to the end of the 2023 Michigan State football season and the Spartans could end on a high note after starting just 2-6 following a six-game losing streak.

Losing Mel Tucker early in the year took a toll on this team but Harlon Barnett did a good job of keeping everyone together. You have to give him a ton of credit.

But the Spartans are still heavy underdogs on Friday night.

Will we see an upset? Let’s get bold.

3. MSU wins the turnover battle

Usually when a team wins the turnover battle, they win the game.

Michigan State hasn’t done a great job in the turnover battle this season but I think that’s going to change against the No. 11 team in the nation.

The Spartans have done a great job this year of handing the game to their opponent, but they will avoid those mistakes on Friday night, forcing two turnovers while only losing the ball one time on a Katin Houser pick that’ll go off the hands of his receiver.

Will winning the turnover battle really make a difference for the Spartans?
