Forcing two turnovers in the season opener, Michigan State's defensive backs look to use this as momentum moving forward.
Going into its season opener, there were certain areas that Michigan State wanted to improve mightily on when reflecting on last season. The Spartans hoped to make major adjustments and flip the script when it comes down to their defensive unit, leading the charge could be the secondary.
Angelo Grose and Nikai Martinez were not only the two top players with tackles in the game, but also both claimed an interception to their stat line as well. Grose in his redshirt senior year and Martinez, a junior, both used their experience to be ready for the season opener. Providing some knowledge and expertise was a large reason their Defensive Back group did so well.
The biggest one was a miscommunication on a fourth-and-1 pass that resulted in a touchdown in the third quarter. Both defensive backs came up to cover the quick-out route to the flat, leaving a wide-open receiver in the back of the end zone.
