Michigan State will once again be on the cover of a national magazine.
Last week, all the talk was the cover of the Sports Illustrated that featured Connor Cook with a caption that read, "How Mike Dantonio Rebuilt The Spartans." Sports Illustrated quickly apologized.
Monday morning it was revealed that Michigan State's QB Connor Cook and the Spartans' mascot Sparty are on the cover of ESPN the magazine and there aren't any errors this time.

It's great the Spartans are finally getting national attention and rightfully so. They are the third ranked team in the nation and set to take on Alabama in the College Football Playoff on New Year's Eve against Alabama and the former Spartan coach Nick Saban.
Here's a nugget. Nick Saban is 9-0 when he faces his former assistants. Will Dantonio blemish that record? pic.twitter.com/vmMLlatNE2

Nick Saban is quite good against his former assistants. It will be interesting to see if Dantonio will break that streak.
