WATCH: Daniel Barker’s one-handed TD grab against Western Michigan

Check out Daniel Barker’s one-handed TD grab one more time:

Michigan State landed themselves a star transfer when they poached TE Daniel Barker from Illinois. Barker introduced himself to the Spartan nation in a big way.

In a 7-3 game, with the Spartans driving and it being the first play of the second quarter, QB Payton Thorne lofted one to the endzone where it appeared he overthrew his transfer tight end. That was until Barker threw his hand up and made a huge one-handed snag for the touchdown.

Watch the great highlight here:

Michigan State vs Western Michigan Game Preview

Why Western Michigan Will Win

The Broncos are going to be dangerous.

The 12th-ranked offense in the country last season gets back a fantastic rushing tandem in Sean Tyler and La’Darius Jefferson, but the question mark will be a passing game that loses QB Kaleb Eleby and WR Skyy Moore.

Michigan State has worked really, really hard on improving the nation’s worst pass defense, but it has to prove it. This might not be the Western Michigan team of last year that was able to beat Pitt in a shootout, but it’s going to test the Spartans deep, the defense should once again be among the best in the nation at getting into the backfield, and …

– Week 1 Expert Picks, Thursday & Friday

Why Michigan State Will Win

The Michigan State running game should be able to pound away on the Bronco defensive front.

Kenneth Walker might be gone, but the combination of transfers Jarek Broussard (Colorado) and Jalen Berger (Wisconsin) should be able to keep it all going. QB Payton Thorne and WR Jayden Reed have the ability to bother a Bronco secondary that has to prove it can make more big plays.

The Spartans have the line to get into the backfield and slow down the Western Michigan running game, the rotation at tackle will be outstanding, and yeah, the secondary really will be better.

What’s Going To Happen

Be … careful … Michigan State.

Western Michigan is a maddening team. It’s once again going to have the talent to beat just about anyone on the right day, but consistency will be a big issue yet again.

Michigan State is all set for another big season, but it has enough flaws to potentially be exposed if Western Michigan finds a groove right away.

The Spartans will pull this off, but it’ll take too much work, a lot of sweat, and a big momentum turn over the final 20 minutes to get there.
