Podcast on the Brink is back for a new episode with hosts Jerod Morris of The Assembly Call and Alex Bozich of Inside the Hall. The show is available weekly.

On this week's episode, Morris is joined by Brendan F. Quinn of The Athletic to preview the upcoming season for the Big Ten favorite, Michigan State. Among the topics discussed:

• How can Cassius Winston be even better as a senior?
• Is Tom Izzo embracing or downplaying the team's lofty expectations?
• Will Aaron Henry's late-season ascension from a year ago continue into his sophomore season?
• What can we expect from Josh Langford in his return from injury?
• What roles will Michigan State's two highly regarded freshmen play?
• How much will the Spartans miss Matt McQuaid and Kenny Goins?
• If this Michigan State team falls short of expectations, and it isn't due to injury, what is likely to derail them?
• Finally, some reflections on Indiana's unexpected and still-bizarre-in-hindsight sweep of the Spartans a year ago.
