  • Great Lakes Divide Podcast: Oct 12, 2018 - UM/Wisconsin, MSU/Penn State Previews
    Ryan and Adam preview two pivotal games along The Great Lakes Divide, with
    #12 Michigan welcoming in #15 Wisconsin (curiously, the Coaches Poll has
    Wisconsin at #10 and Michigan at #13) and now-unranked Michigan State
    traveling to face #8 Penn State. Topics discussed include a battle of star
    running backs between Karan Higdon of the Wolverines and Jonathan Taylor of
    the Badgers, if Michigan’s offensive line has answered all the questions it
    needs to, who Adam’s top 3 Big Ten QBs are, why L.J. Scott may be choosing
    to remain inactive for Michigan State, how much of the offense’s problems
    are Brian Lewerke’s responsibility, and what the consequences are for
    Michigan State with any outcome in Happy Valley. Plus, predictions for both
    games - Adam on UM/Wisconsin, Ryan on MSU/PSU - talking point spreads and
    over/under.

  • Great Lakes Divide Podcast: Oct 10, 2018 - The Captains Speak Out for Michigan State
    Ryan gets into the details of why Mark Dantonio is resistant to upheaval on
    offense, the box Dave Warner finds himself in as a result, and an argument
    for Felton Davis III being the centerpiece of Michigan State’s entire
    attack. One-on-one interviews with defensive team captains Joe Bachie and
    Khari Willis, getting a sense for the aftermath of their players-only team
    meeting after MSU’s loss to Northwestern. Can the Spartans keep their
    season goals intact by winning at Penn State?

    Patterson’s status as the starting quarterback. Teleconference audio from
    UM head coach Jim Harbaugh and Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst. Adam

  • Weekly Press Conference - 10/9/18, Mark Dantonio Discusses Penn State Week
    Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio discusses issues of leadership on
    team after Joe Bachie calls for players-only meeting, philosophy and game
    plan on offense, why the pass defense has struggled so immensely this
    season compared to the nation’s #1 run defense, and how MSU can incorporate
    the explosive Felton Davis as more of a lethal weapon on offense.

  • Postgame Press Conference Audio: Northwestern 29, Michigan State 19
    One-on-one exclusive interview with Connor Heyward following MSU’s
    homecoming loss to Northwestern. He identifies where things are going wrong
    for the Spartans, from his perspective. Coach Dantonio addresses where his
    team stands following a loss that drops the Spartans to 3-and-2, 1-1 in Big
    Ten play - including problems with playcalling and execution, as well as
    Brian Lewerke’s comfort level… or lack thereof. A clearly frustrated Dave
    Warner entered and exited quickly following the defeat, assuming some
    responsibility for not getting the offense going. Mike Tressel points to a
    couple of plays where the game turned for his defense.
