Buckle up, NDL faithful, because Coach CeeGee’s Michigan State Spartans are about to turn Spartan Stadium into a launchpad for offensive fireworks in Season 33! After a 10-3 swan song at Georgia State and a draft haul of 104 Coach Points, CeeGee brings his playbook wizardry to a Spartans squad primed to blast off.
Last year’s offense sputtered at 20 points per game, but with a reloaded roster and a 19-year-old prodigy at the helm, this air raid is ready to rewrite the Big Ten skies.
The Chiles Show: A Rocket in the Pocket
Aidan Chiles, the 6’3” sophomore slinger, is the beating heart of this offense. With 2,415 passing yards and 13 TDs in 2024—plus a jaw-dropping 363-yard day against Maryland—he’s proven he can launch bombs. His 86 speed and 85 agility let him scramble like a gazelle, adding 225 rushing yards and 3 TDs.
But the spotlight’s on his decision-making—11 interceptions last year need trimming. “Aidan’s a supernova waiting to explode,” CeeGee beams. “With experience, he’ll turn those turnovers into touchdowns.” Backup Alessio Milivojevic lurks, but Chiles this team will go as far as Chiles can take them
Weapons Galore: A Receiver’s Paradise
The passing game is a treasure trove, starting with All-American TE Jack Velling, whose 88 OVR and 6’5” frame make him a red-zone monster. WR Nick Marsh (649 yards in 2024) is back to stretch the field, while transfer WR speed demon Chrishon McCray (87 OVR) and big-play artist WR Omari Kelly (85 OVR) add jet fuel. Rodney Bullard brings more burners, and Evan Boyd’s 6’3” frame adds size. “This crew can outrun and outjump anyone,” CeeGee says. “We’re building a sky-high attack to dazzle the Big Ten.”
Ground Game Grit: Chiles + Tau-Tolliver Take Charge
With top runners departed, Chiles’ legs will become more of a weapon, but Elijah Tau-Tolliver—1,300 yards and 14 TDs from Sacramento State—steps in as the workhorse. Brandon Tullis and Makhi Frazier bring raw talent, though experience is thin. “Elijah’s a bulldozer, and Aidan’s a sprinter,” CeeGee notes. “We’ll grind and glide to keep defenses guessing.”
O-Line Overhaul: New Blood, Big Hopes
The line’s a fresh canvas, with Stanton Ramil locking down left tackle and transfer Conner Moore (FCS star) adding versatility at guard or tackle. Matt Gulbin (Wake Forest) anchors center, and Luka Vincic (Oregon State) bolsters the interior. “These guys are the foundation,” CeeGee declares. “They’ll give Aidan time to cook.”
The Game Plan: Outscore, Outshine, Outlast
Last year’s 110th-ranked offense is history—CeeGee’s vision is to outscore the Big Ten’s best.
With no Illinois, Ohio State, or Oregon on the slate, the path’s clearer, but rivalries (Indiana, Michigan, Penn State) will test this firepower.
“The plan is to light up the scoreboard and scheme stops where we can,” CeeGee promises.
