## Resource

Tyler Wojciak, host of Locked On Irish, previews Notre Dame’s primetime showdown with Michigan State as the historic rivalry returns for the first time since 2017. He starts with why the talent gap between the Fighting Irish and Spartans should ultimately decide this game, while breaking down the history of the rivalry, what’s at stake and why Pat Fitzgerald’s team could still make Notre Dame work early. Then, Tyler scouts Michigan State’s offense and defense, including Cam Edwards, Alessio Milivojevic and Jordan Hall, before explaining why Notre Dame’s run defense and pass rush should have major advantages. On offense, the focus shifts to Aneyas Williams, Nolan James Jr., the offensive line and whether the Irish can finally get the running game rolling while CJ Carr continues his impressive start. Finally, Tyler examines Michigan State’s special teams, gives his keys to the third phase and makes his final score and player predictions for Notre Dame vs. Michigan State.
