Watch MSU head coach Jonathan Smith recaps loss at Boston College

Hear what MSU head coach Jonathan Smith had to say following the Spartans’ loss at Boston College.

Michigan State football dropped a nailbiter on the road on Saturday night.

The Spartans surrendered a late lead in the final minutes of the game to lose to the Eagles by the score of 23-19. With the loss, Michigan State is now 3-1 on the year.

Michigan State outplayed Boston College for most of the game, but was hampered by critical mistakes. The Spartans committed four turnovers, including three interceptions from quarterback Aidan Chiles, and failed to cash in on a few drives that resulted in field goals.

Michigan State will look to regroup from this loss in an extremely tough home matchup next week against Ohio State. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET next Saturday.

MSU head coach Jonathan Smith provides promising update on OLine

Michigan State football is making sure it beefs up its depth at offensive line during fall camp

Michigan State football is ensuring it beefs up its depth at offensive line during fall camp.

Spartans head coach Jonathan Smith met with the media on Monday, and provided a promising update on the offensive line. Smith noted how the offensive line is having multiple guys play at multiple positions to help bolster the unit’s depth.

Kenny Jordan of Spartan Mag had this notable quote from Smith:

Another solid quote from earlier today from Jonathan Smith on the OL:

“Typical Jim Michalczik o-line… we got multiple guys playing multiple spots, they aren’t just staying at one spot.. we’re working through that to create some depth.”

— Kenny Jordan (@Kenny_Jordan5) August 12, 2024

The Spartans’ offensive line is considered one of the areas where depth could be a concern this upcoming season. So it’s promising to hear the Spartans have a plan in place now in fall camp to attack this potential weakness.
