Ep. 1181: Nick Baumgardner on the Lions, Spartans and Wolverines

We opened with a conversation on MSU football and what's at stake Saturday against Illinois, as well as what the passage of the Protect College Sports Act would mean for MSU and college football. Then a conversation with The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner on why the Lions' defense is where it is and whether it can be fixed in time to save this season, on the state of MSU football's roster and program under Pat Fitzgerald, and what's gone so wrong at Michigan under Kyle Whittingham (25:00). Plus, our college football and NFL picks for this week (51:00).
