LJ Scott is tackled by Maryland defenders in Saturday's 28-17 loss.

MSU fell to Maryland Saturday 28-17 in College Park. At least fans in Mid-Michigan have the Lions, who are streaking at three straight. Current Sports host Al Martin joins us to bring us up to speed.

There isn’t much to cheer about this season for fans of Michigan State football, now losers of five straight after laying an egg against Maryland on Saturday. They are off to their worst Big Ten start since Muddy Waters was coaching the program. The Spartans will try to climb out of the mud this weekend when they host rival Michigan. The Wolverines are the number two program in the country!

Current Sports host Al Martin now joins us to talk Spartans, Wolverines, and the Detroit Lions, who look pretty good this year after a Sunday home win over the Washington Redskins.

Al Martin is the host and producer of Beyond the Score, WKAR’s award-winning sports television series. In addition, Al is the host, producer, and director of WKAR’s digital music series Streetlight Sessions. He also serves as a sports reporter for WKAR News.
