They printed money to get Mel Tucker, who was fired for cause.&nbsp; When can MSU become relevant again?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2024-maryland-terrapins-ncaaf-areas-to-watch\">2024 Michigan State Spartans NCAAF AREAS TO WATCH:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>THIS IS a massive staff upgrade, even if it pains me to say it.&nbsp; While MSU lost plenty of players once the coaching change was announced, many of the incoming transfers have high ceilings.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aiden Chiles might become an electric QB.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was just 17 when he enrolled at THE OSU, and his stat sheet was special.&nbsp; Smith has always fielded a solid rush attack.&nbsp; That may wait a season, as the RB room lacks talent.&nbsp; Still, I have the run O at 4.0 per carry (3.3 last year) because Smith brought with him a solid TE, a potential NFL draftee at center, and the nation\u2019s best, or 2nd best OL coach (well known in NCAA circles).&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MSU averaged a putrid 12 points per game in the Big 10.&nbsp; That should go up a modest amount now.&nbsp; Joe Rossi (Minnesota) was a solid hire at defensive coordinator.&nbsp; The top four tacklers return, but overall depth took a hit.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five transfers are slated to start, four in the front seven.&nbsp; I\u2019m not predicting massive change in the defensive #\u2019s, but I do think it\u2019s important to monitor the weekly stat sheet.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DB\u2019s are fairly young.&nbsp; Kicking is decent.&nbsp; The return game needs some help, but at OSU, Smith\u2019s return units were fantastic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<span id=\"docs-internal-guid-9189ee98-7fff-38e1-a340-3e6228509ba2\"><div><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;

The young secondary is also something to monitor.&nbsp; 3-5 is the ceiling for games 1-8, which could give this team a fighting shot at 6-6.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current projection is 5-7, but regardless, this requires some faith they will be competitive right out of the gate.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, I\u2019m most proud of the fact that I kept my composure writing this preview.&nbsp; Now, it\u2019s time to go to Goodwill and pick up some used college merchandise (bitter inside joke).&nbsp;
