In fact, Lovie Smith took over the Fighting Illini this offseason in order to restore hope to the program. However, that hasn’t been the case in his first season and he’s hoping that when he gets his recruits in place, the story will be quite different.

As for Mark Dantonio and the Spartans, they’re coming off a College Football Playoff appearance in 2015, but have lost a ton of talent from that squad. For example, Connor Cook, Shilique Calhoun, Aaron Burbridge and Jack Conklin are all gone and it seems like that’s taken a huge toll on this team.

Tyler O’Connor has been named the starting quarterback for Michigan State on Saturday since Brian Lewerke suffered a broken leg against Michigan, but will he be able to hold on to the job? Damion Terry will be waiting for his opportunity.
