Spartan Savants

The Spartan Savants revisit the Michigan State Spartans' first loss of the season against Boston College (a game that easily could've been won) and discuss if we have any chance against No. 3 Ohio State this weekend. Plus, Miss the Vis dives into past Spartan gridiron tragedies and we make our weekly picks.

The Spartan Savants briefly discuss an easy win over Prairie View A&M before diving into a possible program-defining matchup against Boston College this weekend. Can Michigan State take down the Eagles to start 4-0? All that and more in this edition of the Spartan Savants -- your Michigan State Spartans representative for the College Huddle.

After a brief delay, the Spartan Savants are back with our 30th episode! Nicky, Willy, and Trav discuss a big win over Maryland, the very little we know about a Prairie View A&M team that apparently loves Italian food, and of course, play a round of Miss the Vis followed by the weekly picks segment.

Two-thirds of the Spartans Savants have you covered as Willy and Trav look back at the win over FAU, preview the Big Ten opener at Maryland on Saturday, and discuss some injuries and what's happened so far in the college football season. Plus, Vis fails miserably in this week's "Miss The Vis" and we make our weekly picks.

The Michigan State Spartans avoided disaster with a win over Florida Atlantic on Friday night. Trav, Nick, and Winston are here with their reactions to what we saw in the season opener as the Jonathan Smith Era began.

It's a BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR FOOTBALL!! The Spartans kick off the Jonathan Smith Era against Florida Atlantic in the home opener on Friday night, and the Spartan Savants have you covered. Trav, Nick, and Willy discuss what they're watching, give some season predictions, and who will make an impact. The boys also review what they saw during Week 0 and predict Heisman and P4 conference winners and dark horses. Plus, Miss the Vis and weekly picks.

Trav, Nicky, and Willy return as the Spartan Savants analyze the Michigan State football schedule, predict the Spartans' final record, review some notable developments involving former MSU transfers, and pick the four Week 0 games.
