On Friday night, Michigan State football brought in Western Michigan for a season opening tilt underneath the lights of Spartan Stadium. In the game, it was the Spartans that came out victorious, defeating the Broncos, 23-6.
Despite Michigan State jumping out to a 21-0 lead, Western Michigan continued to fight, and ultimately outscored the MSU the rest of the way, 6-2. Although in a losing effort, it was a commendable effort from WMU, who have put the building blocks down for a successful season.
The effort was capped off by a pick-six from former Spartan Tate Hallock, who noted that he “still bleeds green”, showing his MSU roots.
After the game, both Hallock and Broncos head coach Lance Taylor spoke to the media, breaking down their experience in East Lansing:
