🔼 Game Week Chat. Michigan State football head coach Jonathan Smith met with the media on Monday to preview the Spartans’ matchup against Florida Atlantic on Friday night!

🔼 Business In The Big Apple. Today is the day for Michigan State men’s tennis freshman Matthew Forbes — he takes on Roman Safiullin in his first match at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadow, New York!

🔼 Nothing In The Net. Michigan State men’s soccer struggled to find enough offense on Monday in its home opener against Bowling Green, falling 1-0 to the Falcons.

The Spartans managed 19 shots in the contest compared to Bowling Green’s nine, but none found the back of the net.

🔼 New Look, Same Playmaker. We’re getting closer — only 3 more days until Michigan State football is back on the field!

Montorie Foster Jr. is back for a fifth season with the Spartans, and will sport a new number this year — No. 3! Foster Jr. is a four-year letterwinner with 42 games under his belt, and has caught 62 career passes for 838 yards and five touchdowns.
