Predicting team & individual performances for the 2024 MSU Spartans
We are just two days away from Michigan State’s opening game of the 2024 football season, a Friday night game against Florida Atlantic. We at TOC have been busy trying to get you all ready for the upcoming season. We kicked off with our analyses of each position group and then we did a quick dive into the twelve opponents on the schedule. All that is left to do now is give our predictions for the season. For this article, the four TOC writers – Mike, Steve, Brian, and O – will answer a series of questions pertaining to the season ahead. Some questions are about team performance and some of them are for individual performances. Lastly, there are a couple questions about the conference and national outlook. For each question, you will have the chance to chime in with your predictions.
