Michigan State prepares for Notre Dame after victory over Eastern Michigan

Michigan State secured a 35-7 win against Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Sept. 12, advancing to a 2-0 record. Despite the victory, coach Pat Fitzgerald expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance, specifically citing a sluggish second quarter where the defense allowed a touchdown. Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic completed 12 of 20 passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns, though he noted a need for improved decision-making. The Spartans played without starting linebacker Jordan Hall, who missed the contest with a right arm injury but is expected to return to practice on Sunday. Michigan State now turns its attention to an upcoming road game against No. 4 Notre Dame on Sept. 19.
