Michigan State and Northwestern are coming together for a Big Ten clash inside of Spartan Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and the game is not short of storylines.

Most notably, Michigan State head coach Pat Fitzgerald is going up against his alma mater, and the school he coached at for over 20 years. Conversely, Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles will be squaring off with his former team, where he was the starter for the better part of the last two seasons.

Another smaller storyline, Northwestern head coach David Braun was originally hired to be Fitzgerald's defensive coordinator in 2023, but took over as interim head coach and ultimately earned the permanent head coaching position.

Ahead of the game on Saturday, Braun spoke to the media, previewing the matchup with the Spartans, while downplaying the storylines that present themselves ahead of the matchup:
