Can Michigan State make easy work of FCS foe Richmond in a home matchup this weekend? The Spartans Wire staff is here to provide our thoughts on this non-conference matchup.
Michigan State opened the 2023 season with a three-touchdown victory over Central Michigan last week to improve to 1-0 on the year. Richmond wasn’t as lucky, though, starting the 2023 campaign with a disappointing loss against Morgan State last weekend.

Prediction: MSU 38, Richmond 7
Richmond is coming off of a home loss to Morgan State. This should be a good final tune-up for MSU that shouldn’t have many hiccups. The Spartans need to take care of this one swiftly and handily, or my confidence level for this season will significantly drop.

Prediction: MSU 44, Richmond 10
The Spartans got off to a sluggish start in their opener last week and I’m confident that won’t happen again here against the Spiders. Richmond isn’t a pushover program and entered the year ranked amongst FCS foes. But that shouldn’t matter here as Michigan State takes an early lead and never looks back — similar to a few years ago when they faced Youngstown State.
