New head coach Jonathan Smith stepped into a hero role at Michigan State to try and revive a dying program. After multiple losing seasons, hopes are not very high for the Spartans, but with Jonathan Smith leading the cavalry, hopefully, they can turn things around. The Big Ten conference is about to get a lot stronger.

One of the teams entering the Big Ten conference next season is the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks have produced two quarterbacks who were taken in the top 12 picks in recent years, with Justin Herbert being drafted by the Chargers in 2022 at pick six and Bo Nix getting drafted just a few days ago by the Denver Broncos.

Oregon had eight players get selected in this years draft including a top 12 pick which will definitely set them back a little bit for the following seasons but they certainly have a knack for recruiting and producing talent. Oregon was ranked seventh in both the AP top 15 and coaches poll concluding the 2023-24 season and are now switching up conferences so they have a lot of preparation to do.

Michigan State will face off against Oregon in week six of the 2024 season following a matchup against Ohio State. The Spartans have a rigid middle part of the year, but hopefully, having coaches and players with experience in the Pac-12 and playing against Oregon can help them a little bit. Michigan State has a real shot at redemption if they can beat a proven team and can hold their own in the midseason.

Jonathan Smith, armed with his staff coaches and players and a knack for inspiring leadership, holds the key to Michigan State's resurgence. His experience as a player and a coach grants him insight into the game's strategy. He can rally the team toward excellence by instilling a discipline, teamwork, and determination culture. Taking down his old rival school would signify a triumph on the field and a symbolic turning point in Michigan State's journey back to glory. Smith's vision and the team's unwavering dedication promise a promising revival for the Spartans.
