Former Michigan State football QB addresses team before game at Minnesota

Coach Mark Dantonio had a familiar face speak to the team on Friday night ahead of the team’s game against Minnesota on Saturday. It’s no secret, the 2-5 Spartans are desperate for a win, the first of Harlan Barnett’s tenure as interim head coach.

In order to get that pregame morale boost, and a pregame motivational speech, the Spartans turned to former QB, current Minnesota Viking, Kirk Cousins.
