The Interesting Dynamic Awaiting MSU in Week 2

But all of the revenge games were supposed to be during conference play, not in Week Two, as players who were once Big Ten talent usually find ways to keep playing at the highest level. But that is not always the case, as some players seek a starting job immediately and end up at a different school outside the Big Ten, where games against teams like MSU should put MSU at an advantage.

That is the case for Noah Kim, who is in his seventh season of college football with the Eastern Michigan Eagles, and Spartan fans will get to see a revenge game earlier in the season than expected.

Noah Kim's Time at MSU

• In Kim's two years on the field with the Spartans, he managed to get 1,264 yards on 179 total attempts, adding nine touchdowns through the air and six interceptions. He also had 28 carries for 58 yards and no scores.

• It wasn't impressive enough for Kim to keep any sort of starting role with the Spartans, and at the end of the day, MSU needed to let him go and get the carousel of passers moving so they could finally land at Alessio Milivojevic.

• But is Kim going to be any sort of threat to the Spartans, and could they become the next Big Ten team to suffer a massive upset like the Wolverines (nearly) and Rutgers went through in their season openers?

Will Kim Make Eastern Michigan a Threat?

• Odds are Kim will not be able to make the Eagles a real threat, but he can make things interesting. Against weaker competition, his numbers have been decent, and his team is currently 1-1 this season.

• As much of a miracle as it would be for the Spartans to defeat Notre Dame in Week 3, while not on that level but somewhat close, it would likewise be a miracle for Eastern Michigan to win under the leadership of Kim; however, revenge games tend to bring out the best in players, so Kim will be a player to watch once game day rolls around.
