The Spartans are looking to move to 4-0 for the first time since 2021 in the first season under new head coach Jonathan Smith, led by 19-year-old sophomore quarterback Aidan Chiles, who came with Smith from Oregon State.

Coming off a 40-0 win over Prairie View A&M, Michigan State looks to continue the momentum it has built in the early stages of coach Jonathan Smith's first year in East Lansing. Quarterback Aidan Chiles has shown flashes of brilliance, and the defense has looked much improved compared to last season.
