The Michigan State Spartans football team is enjoying their first of two bye weeks this season. After a solid 3-1 start, the timing couldn't be better for Coach Jonathan Smith and his squad. Coming off their first loss and dealing with some key injuries, the extra week of rest and recovery is a welcome opportunity.
With no Spartans action on the gridiron today, the question is: what are MSU fans up to? Are they tackling household chores and errands? Perhaps enjoying the unseasonably warm early autumn weather in Detroit (still in the 80s!)? Or maybe catching up on some much-needed streaming and binge-watching?
Of course, college football never stops! Even with MSU on a bye, there are plenty of exciting matchups to follow. The TOC writers have weighed in on some of the biggest games this weekend, including two top-25 clashes in both the Big Ten and SEC.
