Can Michigan State football pull off upset for the ages vs Notre Dame?

Can MSU football pull off an upset for the ages? Four Free Press sports writers have some thoughts on that:

Michigan State football faces a daunting challenge as they prepare to take on Notre Dame in a game that could bring about an upset for the ages. The Spartans start their season with two wins against MAC teams, but they are heavy underdogs and favored to lose by more than four touchdowns. However, Pat Fitzgerald and his team have the potential to make history.

Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic will be looking to prove himself against Notre Dame's star player, C.J. Carr, who is a former Michigan football star and son of legendary coach Lloyd Carr.

Sports analysts have their opinions on the matchup. Rainer Sabin believes the Spartans have made progress but are still in the early stages of development, while Marcus Freeman thinks Notre Dame is a title contender and will likely beat the Spartans. Jeff Seidel hopes for a close game, but doubts the Spartans' chances. Chris Solari expects the Irish to take advantage of the Spartans' untested secondary and could pull away in the second half.

Shawn Windsor acknowledges the depth of the Irish roster but hopes the Spartans can stay competitive and make a statement.
