What are the disputes that Michigan lawmakers need to resolve? Here are the key issues as negotiations continue to avoid a state government shutdown.

Defensive coordinator Joe Rossi says Michigan State football must find consistency as Big Ten play opens Saturday at USC against QB Jaydan Maiava.

Martinez, a native of Apopka, Fla., spent two seasons at UCF before transferring to Michigan State last year. He started all 12 games and played 724 defensive snaps – 99 more than anyone else on the team – according to Pro Football Focus. Martinez finished third in tackles with 51 and tied for second with two interceptions.

When former five-star quarterbacks Dylan Raiola and Bryce Underwood take the field Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, it will mark the Big Ten's most star-studded quarterback showdown since 2019 -- at least according to the recruiting rankings.

Speaking of running, USC has a three-headed dog in the RB room. Waymond Jordan, Eli Sanders, and King Miller are all averaging over 7 yards per carry. Each of them has also contributed multiple touchdowns. Jordan, a JUCO transfer this past offseason, has been getting the most carries.
