Welcome to my Week 1 report of the Michigan State Spartans. This is where I'll break down how the team from East Lansing was and other news around the college football world.

UAB     18

Report
The UAB Blazers came to Spartan Stadium hoping to stick with this new Spartans team for most of the game. The Spartans quickly denied any chances of this game being a close one as the Spartans were up 21-0 at the end of the first and 45-3 by halftime. The Spartans were up by so much so early that they didn't need to use 1st year starting QB Brian Hoyer a ton (he only threw 17 passes). Their running game was monsterous, getting almost 300 yards and averaged over 6 yards a carry. Coach Mark Dantonio made it clear that this team was going to be a tougher, balanced football team unlike last years team.

The Good
- The Offense When you can score 45 points in one half against any team you are doing something right.

- The Defense Their defense looked sharp today and UAB didn't score a TD until late in the 4th when the points didn't matter

- Brian Hoyer He did what he needed to do and he completed 10+ passes in the row and didn't lose the game for them. This is what he needs to do for the rest of the season.

- Jehuu Caulcrick He was the big man in this game, scoring 4 TD's tying a school record and had those all in the 1st half of the game.

The Bad
- Nothing here today, lets keep it like that.

Next up
Bowling Green 1-0 (0-0) These guys beat a decent Minnesota team by 1 point but I believe that the Spartans are much more talented then Minnesota. MSU wins 35-10.

Other Notes
- How in Sam Hell did Michigan lose to Division 1-AA Appalachian (sp.) State. I don't care if they are 2-time 1-AA champions they should beat them soundly but no, lose by a blocked FG. Terrible, terrible.

- So far I'm 3-1 in my predictions with the Clemson- FSU game left. I probably shouldn't have picked LSU to lose, but at half it was only a 17 point game.
