Watch Michigan State football players recap Saturday’s tough loss at Illinois

Michigan State football took another tough loss on Saturday afternoon.

Michigan State dropped its third straight game on Saturday in a blowout loss at Illinois. The Spartans trailed the entire game, but it wasn’t until the fourth quarter when the Fighting Illini pulled away for the 38-16 victory.

With the loss, Michigan State is now 4-6 overall and 2-5 in Big Ten play. This will be the third straight year and fifth in the last six years that Michigan State will finish with a losing record in conference play. The Spartans will need to win both of its remaining games (Purdue and Rutgers) to reach bowl eligibility and avoid a third straight bowless season.

Hear what Michigan State wide receiver Montorie Foster and linebacker Darius Snow had to say about the Spartans’ performance in the loss at Illinois.

Michigan State football linebacker reacts to yet another night game for the Spartans

After the sixth night game of the season was announced for MSU, one linebacker took to social media to reminisce about noon games

Michigan State football’s match-up against rival Michigan will be their eighth game of the 2024 football season. We found out today that it will also be their sixth night game of the season, and their fifth straight game at night.

While it was a cool novelty to see the Spartans under the lights, it’s starting to feel a little like overkill to some fans, and even one player, linebacker Darius Snow, took to social media to express his feelings that he may have taken noon games for granted:

Two interesting notes regarding Michigan State football’s roster release

Two interesting notes in MSU’s roster release

Michigan State football released their updated roster ahead of fall camp. The Spartans will be looking to have a strong first year under new head coach Jonathan Smith.

Two notable notes from the roster was that Aidan Chiles is up four pounds to 217, a good sign of him putting on muscle to avoid potential injuries. The second was that Darius Snow is down nine pounds to 230, which may make him more likely to play more in the defensive backfield, like he began his Spartan career.

Spartans LB Darius Snow withdraws from transfer portal, to return MSU

A fan favorite Spartan has decided to withdraw from the transfer portal and return to Michigan State

A fan favorite Spartan has decided to withdraw from the transfer portal and return to Michigan State.

Linebacker Darius Snow announced on Wednesday night that he’s decided to withdraw his name from the transfer portal and return to Michigan State for next season. Snow entered the transfer portal shortly after the season ended but after meeting with the new coaching staff has decided to return.

Snow came on strong as a sophomore and key contributor for the Spartans defense during the 2021 season when Michigan State reached the Peach Bowl. He was expected to be an important piece to the Spartans’ defense last year but a season-ending injury in the opening game derailed that and in 2023 he was still recovering from that injury — appearing in only four games.

The return of Snow is a positive for the new coaching staff since he is considered one of the leaders on the defense. If he can return to relative full strength next season, he’ll certainly be a key contributor again.

Michigan State football LB Darius Snow enters NCAA Transfer Portal

LB Darius Snow has entered the transfer portal:

Spartan fans learned on Monday morning that linebacker Darius Snow was leaving the program, heading to the NCAA Transfer Portal. Snow ends his tenure at Michigan State with 98 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and an interception.

Unfortunately, a devastating leg injury against Western Michigan derailed Snow’s career, making him miss the 2022 season, and not being able to comeback until week three this season.

Snow will be looking for a fresh start, at a place he can make an impact on the field, showcasing his skills.

Michigan State football LB Darius Snow teases long-awaited return from injury

Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow teases long-awaited return from injury

Heading into last season, Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow, who was a converted defensive back, had a ton of hype as a mobile linebacker who could be the coverage specialist that is lacking from Cal Haladay and Jacoby Windmon. That hype wasn’t able to come to fruition last year, as Snow suffered a season-ending injury in the season-opener against Western Michigan.

Now, it looks like there finally might be some Snow on the forecast in East Lansing, as the Spartan linebacker posted a simple message on Twitter on Friday before MSU’s game against Washington: ‘It’s time.’

Read into that what you will, but this would be a major return for MSU, as Snow could provide a huge help for them in coverage against one of the best passing attacks in the country.

Reports: MSU football LB Darius Snow very close to returning

A return could be looming for MSU LB Darius Snow

Michigan State has been without linebacker Darius Snow since the season opener a year ago against Western Michigan. Snow suffered a leg injury and has not returned to the field. Now, it appears the Spartans could be getting their skilled linebacker back.

While Snow will not play in the Spartans’ matchup with Richmond, reports indicate Snow will go through full warmups with the team. That means a return could be on the horizon.

Adding Snow into the fold for MSU’s big contest with Washington next week would be a huge boost for the Spartans.
