EAST LANSING — A hefty sigh of relief is in order for Jonathan Smith and the Michigan State football team.
Following a massive overhaul of the coaching staff and players, the former Oregon State head coach stood alongside his team on the sideline for the first time, with expectations looming large from the fanbase for the program.
As any new regime faces, its first game on the gridiron was marked by both turbulence and promise. But, after 60 minutes, MSU topped Florida Atlantic 16-10, and no team will complain about a win, no matter how it comes.
“Game one, you’re gonna learn a lot about your team, and we [MSU] have got a lot to work on,” Smith said.
