Michigan State Football: Northwestern game depth chart notes
Michigan State football released its depth chart ahead of Saturday’s Northwestern game and here are the takeaways.
It’s tough to believe that this Michigan State football team, loaded with talent, is just 2-3 through five games in 2016. People were expecting a bit of a drop-off after losing about a dozen starters from 2015’s playoff squad, but no one thought it would be this extreme.

The Spartans are gearing up for their third Big Ten matchup on the season, and the second at home. The last two didn’t go very well for Mark Dantonio and the Spartans they lost 30-6 at home against No. 11 Wisconsin and then 24-21 in overtime at Indiana.
Northwestern struggled through its first two games as well, losing to Western Michigan as well as Southern Illinois. Still, the Wildcats present a tough matchup for the Spartans and the depth chart has gotten a shakeup, accordingly.
Here are some notes and takeaways I had from the release of the Week 7 depth chart:
A ton of changes this week definitely indicates Dantonio realizing issues and correcting them with personnel swaps.
It will be interesting to see if the Spartans’ changes can result in more production on both sides of the ball Saturday.
