Spartans in total control after third rushing TD
The Spartans opened the second half with a scoring drive capped by a 2-yard touchdown from Connor Heyward.
Felton Davis had a 37-yard catch-and-run to the 1-yard line.
Worst news for MSU is wide receiver Cody White might’ve gotten hurt late in the first half. He went to the locker room after getting his in the left arm.
