Couch: MSU's football team had a chance to be OK this season. That team no longer exists.

The MSU team that played at Notre Dame probably would have beaten UCLA on Saturday. The team that played Northwestern and Illinois might have, too.

Michigan State hangs on for a tough 2-1 road win against New Hampshire after falling 1-0 last night. Freshman goaltender Joshua Ravensbergen was terrific again, making 38 saves after stopping 33 shots on Friday. Mason West and Anthony Romani were MSU’s goal scorers.

MSU coach Pat Fitzgerald on pregame radio show says Milivojevic and Patterson hope to return "as quick as they can recover." Says Kayd Coffman is a "gunslinger" who "has had a really good week" preparing for his first collegiate start at QB. Will run entire offense, not limited.

Since the NCAA changed eligibility rules in 1972, MSU has only started 2 true freshmen QBs: Dave Yarema (1982) and Jeff Smoker (2000). Kayd Coffman today vs. UCLA will be the third. (Note: Tyrone Willingham took a redshirt in 1972 and started 4 games in 1973).

Sources: Michigan State starting quarterback Alessio Milivojevic (undisclosed) is not expected top play at No. 9 UCLA today. With back-up Cam Fancher out, true freshman Kayd Coffman is in line for his first career start. He’ll face UCLA back-up Ty Dieffenbach.

The injury report for MSU went from bad to worse. QB Alessio Milivojevic and RB Jaziun Patterson now questionable for UCLA.

Apply for every job. If you interview well, it'll be clear you're better suited for the role than some of the decision-makers in college football.
