Michigan State football teases new 'This is State' YouTube series

Fall camp has come to a close for Michigan State football and the 2025 season is less than 10 days away -- we can almost taste kickoff.

The weather is getting a little colder at night, the days are getting shorter, the leaves are starting to change colors, and that fall feeling is in the air. It's the best time of the year for a lot of Michigan State fans, especially since expectations are on the rise for the Spartans this season.

A year ago, no one really knew what to expect from Jonathan Smith's first team. Now, there is still some uncertainty, but fans are more hopeful than they were even six months ago. They've been hearing good things from the coaching staff throughout fall camp from Aidan Chiles taking that next step to the receiver room being as good as Courtney Hawkins has seen to the offensive line having more depth than we're all used to seeing.

Smith believes in his team heading into the season, and you can start to see the players fully buy in as well. They're pushing each other and praising each other, and they expect to win big.

This team has a chance to be special (the first toward a program turnaround like in 2008 under Mark Dantonio when the team went 9-4 just a year after sneaking into a bowl game.

Luckily for us, we'll be able to get some behind-the-scenes looks at the team this fall. The football program shared a teaser for a 'This is State' YouTube series that will premeir on Aug. 27.

This is an awesome inside look for fans who want more content surrounding each team, and the creative team has been killing it this fall, so the expectations for this series to be fantastic are high.

Hopefully if this 'Hard Knocks'-like series is popular enough, the basketball and hockey programs will do one of their own.

Hats off (again) to the creative team.
