MSU football coach Mark Dantonio. His Spartans lost in overtime at Indiana Saturday night.

We talk with Current Sports host Al Martin about how the Spartans and Lions plan on picking up the pieces after their weekend losses.

The Chicago Bears beat the Detroit Lions for the first time since 2012. The Indiana Hoosiers topped the Michigan State football team for the first time in 10 years. The Detroit Tigers missed the MLB playoffs for the second consecutive year. It was a Michigan sports weekend filled with streaks, and hearts, broken. The lone exception happened to be the Michigan Wolverines college football team, who moved to 5-0 on Saturday with a win over Wisconsin.

Do the weeks ahead provide any solace for the Spartans and Lions?

We talk with Current Sports host Al Martin about the weekend's sports developments.

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.
