Popular CFB show host gives praise to Jonathan Smith, future at MSU

Josh Pate of Late Kick Live is confident Jonathan Smith will turn around MSU

Josh Pate of Late Kick Josh is confident Jonathan Smith will turn around Michigan State football.

Smith has been on the job for the Spartans for roughly seven months, and he’s already built up some confidence from Pate. On Wednesday evening, Pate stated on X that Smith “will win at Michigan State.” The post on X from Pate can be seen below:

The statement from Pate is very vague but it certainly suggests he is confident in Smith’s ability to get the Spartans back on track. Whether that’s contending for Big Ten titles or just reaching bowl games is unknown, but this is still a refreshing take from Pate to see for Spartans everywhere.

Michigan State officially opens the 2024 season on August 30 against Florida Atlantic. Kickoff from Spartan Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on Big Ten Network.
