Michigan State is 2-2 after four games. An SB Nation writer gives its special teams an A and the secondary a D-, the highest and lowest marks; receivers and tight ends get a D, while the offensive line earns a B-.
The other grades are C- for quarterbacks, C+ for both running backs and defensive line, and B for linebackers. The writer says Alessio Milivojevic has been sacked 14 times, tied for the most in the FBS, and notes the secondary's trouble defending deep passes. Kicker Liam Boyd made 8 of 10 field goals and all eight extra points.
Running back Cam Edwards injured a leg against Nebraska, was carted off and later appeared on crutches. Test results were pending, and the writer said a season-ending injury was a real possibility. Linebacker Jordan Hall injured his left leg on the first play of the second half and did not return; MSU was already without starter Brady Pretzlaff.
