IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Five must-reads before kickoff:

* As he enters his third season as Michigan State’s head coach, we take a deep dive into the rise of Mel Tucker; from working long hours as a Michigan State GA to a circuitous route through college football and the NFL to his relationship with Nick Saban that all led him to be the Spartans’ $95 million coach.

* Payton Thorne starts his second season as Michigan State’s starting quarterback with a game that’s personal: his father, Jeff Thorne, will be making his debut as Western Michigan’s offensive coordinator. The two have been competitive with one another their whole lives, and now bring the competition to Spartan Stadium.

* The season-opener always has plenty of uncertainty, and that’s certainly true of this matchup, as Michigan State prepares for a Western team that will have a new quarterback and a new offensive coordinator.

* A school record falling, a freshman making a huge impact and an ongoing position competition are among Matt Wenzel’s 10 predictions for Michigan State football this season.

* Wenzel provides his five things to watch for the game, including a new-look Michigan State running attack and some more connections between the programs outside of the Thornes.
