EAST LANSING, Mich. – When the Michigan State Spartans took the field Friday night against Jacksonville State, few questioned that their defense would be among the best in the conference.

Maybe not much, but with the track record of this Michigan State defense, fans can expect this to set the tone for the rest of the season. Michigan State will travel to Eugene on Saturday to battle perhaps the most intimidating offensive team in the country: the Oregon Ducks.
