GOOD MORNING MICHIGAN. FOR SOME IT MAY FEEL LIKE THE NINE MONTH COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON TOOK FOREVER, BUT FOR FIRST YEAR MICHIGAN STATE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH JONATHAN SMITH, IT WENT BY PRETTY QUICK AS SMITH WAS HIRED IN NOVEMBER, AND LAST NIGHT HE HAD HIS FIRST CHANCE TO COACH A GAME FOR THE SPARTANS AS MICHIGAN STATE WAS TAKING ON FLORIDA ATLANTIC IN THE SEASON OPENER. THIS IS THE 10TH TIME IN THE LAST 14 YEARS THE SPARTANS HAVE OPENED THE SEASON ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE WAS A LOT OF HYPE SURROUNDING SOPHOMORE QUARTERBACK AIDAN CHILES ENTERING THE SEASON, AND ON THE VERY FIRST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE, CHILES THROWS AN INTERCEPTION. HOWEVER, THE MSU DEFENSE WOULD ANSWER BACK AS THE FIRST POINTS OF THE JONATHAN SMITH ERA CAME VIA A SAFETY DAQUAN DOSS SACKS CAM FANCHER. IN THE END ZONE TO PUT THE SPARTANS UP TWO NOTHING. EACH TEAM HAD TWO INTERCEPTIONS IN THIS GAME, AND FOR MSU, CENTRAL FLORIDA TRANSFER NAKAI MARTINEZ HAD ONE OF THEM AS HE IS GOING TO MAKE A BID FOR THE END ZONE. AND THIS WOULD ALLOW THE SPARTANS OFFENSE TO GET TO WORK. AND IT'S FITTING THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON FOR MSU CAME VIA CHILES, AS HE SCAMPERS IN FROM 11 YARDS OUT TO GET THE CROWD FIRED UP. AND IF SPARTAN NATION THOUGHT THAT RUN WAS SWEET, WELL, THIS 61 YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BY UMASS TRANSFER CAMERON ADAMS WAS SWEET WITH AN EXTRA SIDE OF SAUCE. HIS BIG RUN WAS THE LONGEST RUSHING TOUCHDOWN MSU HAS HAD SINCE KENNETH WALKER TOOK 194 YARDS AGAINST RUTGERS IN 2021. MSU LED 16 THREE AT HALFTIME, BUT FLORIDA ATLANTIC PUT UP A FIGHT IN THE SECOND HALF. FANCHER FINDS A WIDE OPEN JAYSHAWN PLATT IN THE END ZONE ON FOURTH DOWN. THE OWLS MADE THIS A SIX POINT GAME HEADING INTO THE FOURTH QUARTER, AND IT WAS THE SAME SCORE WHEN YOU FACED FOURTH AND 13. WITH A MINUTE AND A HALF TO GO AND KEN TALLEY COMES UP CLUTCH BY FORCING THE QUARTERBACK OUT OF BOUNDS. MICHIGAN STATE HANGS ON TO WIN 16 TO 10 FOR THE FIRST VICTORY OF THE JONATHAN SMITH ERA. I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO GO WATCH FILM AND WE'RE PROBABLY ALL GOING TO HATE IT. WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GO IN THERE WITH, YOU KNOW, DISGUST LIKE, WE DON'T WANT TO GO IN THERE AND WATCH THAT. WE DIDN'T DO WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. WE DIDN'T DO WHAT WE KNOW. WE CAN DO. AND, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S A NEW WEEK. WE GET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. WE WON A GAME. GO US. NOW WE GET TO COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. GAME ONE, YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT YOUR TEAM, AND WE'VE GOT A LOT TO TO WORK ON. WHAT I DID LEARN AND WAS PLEASED WITH IS THAT THERE'S A RESPONSE IN THIS GROUP. WE ARE GOING TO PLAY FOR FOUR
