Michigan State understands as well as any team in the country that it’s not wise to take Western Michigan lightly. While it’s been decades since the Broncos have beaten the Spartans, they have pushed their in-state foe more often than not. Just two seasons ago, Michigan State traveled to Kalamazoo and found itself in a battle before getting away with a 37-24 victory. In 2013, Western Michigan gave MSU a scare in East Lansing as the Spartans pulled out a 26-13 win.
