The MSU defense keeping it to 27-10 against #3 Notre Dame is way more impressive than the scoreline suggests.

In a week full of 50-point blowouts, playing a top-3 team close for three quarters is exactly what Spartans fans needed after last season. That defensive unit clearly has an identity even if the offense is still finding itself.

Also, Kentucky's upset over Texas A&M was the real shocker of the weekend. The Aggies looked completely off from start to finish.

And yeah, Western Michigan handing Michigan a loss technically doesn't count, but we're absolutely counting it 😂 Waiting for the regular season to actually test these rosters is going to be wild.
