We ask the question on Current Sports with Al Martin if Michigan State football fans care about this Saturday's rivalry matchup against Michigan, in light of the down season the Spartans have had? 

What would a win against the Wolverines do for the morale of Spartan fans everywhere? Also, Al touches on Mark Dantonio's revelation about MSU senior quarterback Brian Lewerke not being evaluated for a concussion after the loss against Illinois. Lewerke seemed to take a knee to the head before throwing a costly interception. 

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
