This week in Michigan State talk

The shows spent the week on UCLA versus Michigan State, with several locking in the under before the game based on Michigan State's weak offense and UCLA's run-heavy approach. After UCLA won 28-10, the talk turned to whether the Bruins looked convincing despite the lopsided score, with hosts noting Michigan State was dealing with a third-string quarterback and multiple injuries on defense. Klatt ranked UCLA in his top ten following the victory.
