Coach: John L. Smith (3rd year at Michigan St.)
Team Name: Spartans
2004 Record: 5-7
2004 Big 10 Conference Record 4-4
2004 ATS Record: 5-7
Returning Starters: 13
This year the Spartans return 8 starters from a prolific offense that lead the Big 10 in offense putting up over 460 yards per contest in 2004. The defense is young and the corner position is a little shaky. This Spartans team lacks the depth and talent on defense to be a contender for the Big 10 title, but with an offense that will score at will, Michigan St. could pull an upset or two over Michigan, Ohio St., or Purdue. They are still a year away from challenging the big boys, but the future looks bright and a bowl game this year is probable.
