Here are some news and noteworthy items as the team prepares to face Youngstown State in their season opener Friday evening.
- Michigan State defensive end William Gholston is bothered by the lack of sacks he had last season in very limited playing time as motivation to get at the QB this season.

- Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio and Pat Narduzzi recall their past at Youngstown State.
- Game experience seems to be the key for MSU backup QB Andrew Maxwell.
