Like last week’s game, MSU came into tonight as a massive underdog. Unlike last week - the Spartans didn’t enjoy home field advantage, having traveled 1,923 and a half miles (as the crow flies, mostly due west) for the 9pm matchup against the fighting bananas.
Coming out of the game against Ohio State the general sentiment seemed to be, “The team actually looked alright and never felt out of it in the first half. Even fought through the last play...” Though the one-handed TD grab with 30s remaining in the first and even a couple of block pickups in the second opened a few eyes to what this team and any team needs to do to compete at the highest level.
