S3 E3: One B10-MAC Matchup Is Not Like the Other 06.09.2026 50mThe We Got It! podcast returns after Michigan State’s season-opening win over Toledo. While the box score says victory, the real story is in the details. Jonah and Abby tell that story in this week’s episode. Cam Edwards delivered a breakout workload with 27 carries, the O-line gave a shaky performance, an unproven kicker proved himself a key asset, and despite some punishing mistakes, the defense on the whole put forth a strong performance. And because it’s not all football, the episode closes with quick halftime updates on Michigan State women’s soccer and volleyball, and men’s basketball (it’s GRIND WEEK), and reflects on the kind of campus and game-day atmosphere that makes East Lansing feel like the center of the fall.Essential listening if you want an honest, fan-first breakdown of Michigan State’s opener really means for the season, and what needs to happen next before Eastern Michigan.Check out Jonah’s Stock Up / Stock Down article on Spartans Illustrated and show some love if you think it should be a running series this season: https://spartansillustrated.com/articles/stock-report-whoIf you haven’t already, please SHARE this episode with a fellow Sparty 💚📧 Contact us: [email protected]📱 Find us on X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokFor more MSU athletics news, recruiting, gameday chats, and breaking updates, head to spartansillustrated.com and subscribe. -
S3 E2: THE Football Preview Part II 30.08.2026 46mIn the second and final installation of the We Got It! podcast’s football season preview, Jonah and Abby get into the nitty gritty of the roster. In this episode, you'll hear why the offensive line might be the most important unit on the field, how transfer additions like Trent Farley, Ben Murawski, and Nick Sharpe could change the line of scrimmage, and why running back Cam Edwards may be the engine that keeps the offense alive. The wide receiver room brings plenty of uncertainty, while quarterback Alessio Milivojevic enters with pressure, patience, and a chance to prove that consistency can be an advantage. On defense, proven names like Jordan Hall and Nikai Martinez mix with intriguing additions such as Kenny Soares, Caleb Wheatland, and Chuck Brantley returning to East Lansing after a stop at Miami. It is a roster full of new faces, new roles, and a whole lot of questions.This episode is for every Spartan fan trying to figure out what this team actually is before kickoff. Will Michigan State finally look disciplined, physical, and united again? Or is this another season of transition? Either way, Jonah and Abby give you the clearest possible map for what to watch, what to worry about, and what could make this season feel different.Spartans Illustrated’s Position Previews:Quarterbacks: https://spartansillustrated.com/articles/2026-michigan-state-football-positional-preview-quarterbacksRunning backs: https://spartansillustrated.com/articles/michigan-state-2026-running-back-room-previewWide Receivers: https://spartansillustrated.com/articles/2026-michigan-state-football-positional-preview-wide-receiverOffensive Line: https://spartansillustrated.com/articles/2026-michigan-state-football-positional-preview-offensive-lineDefensive Line: https://spartansillustrated.com/articles/positional-preview-defensive-tacklesLinebackers: https://spartansillustrated.com/articles/2026-michigan-state-football-positional-preview-line-backersIf you haven’t already, please SHARE this episode with a fellow Sparty 💚📧 Contact us: [email protected]📱 Find us on X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokFor more MSU athletics news, recruiting, gameday chats, and breaking updates, head to spartansillustrated.com and subscribe. -
