The Michigan State football is 5-0, ranked 11th in the coaches poll and has two legitimate Heisman Trophy candidates in Kenneth Walker and Jayden Reed. 

The Spartans are living a lush life these days. Awaiting the Spartans on Saturday is Rutgers, which beat MSU last year and forced seven turnovers in the process.

Host Phil Friend is joined by Detroit Free Press beat writer Chris Solari and State Journal sports storyteller Nate Atkins as they discuss the Spartans' hot start, rising expectations (College Football Playoff?) and preview Saturday's game against Rutgers.
