With Ben Roberts’ standout play on the interior defensive line brought to an abrupt end, the question looms: which injury hurts the Spartans the most? Depth concerns mount, as Eli Coenen and Derrick Simmons step into expanded roles, while inexperienced backups like Carlos Hazelwood and Mikeshun Beeler are thrust into the Big Ten spotlight.

The conversation explores the impact of losing key contributors—Ben Roberts, Cam Edwards, and Jordan Hall—and examines whether the running back room can withstand the blow. Are the Spartans’ defensive struggles just beginning, or can Michigan State rally with its depleted lineup? Fans get a candid assessment of the roster gap, player development, and the uphill battle MSU faces in the final stretch of the season.
