East Lansing – Michigan State got everything it was looking for on Saturday afternoon — almost.
The 14th-ranked Spartans rolled to a 52-0 victory over Akron, the overmatched foe from the Mid-American Conference, using a potent rushing attack led by Jalen Berger’s 107 yards and three touchdowns.
But there’s also little doubt Michigan State and coach Mel Tucker will be lamenting some more mistakes and misfires, namely in the passing game.
It mattered little in the end as the Spartans gained 260 yards on the ground and scored six rushing touchdowns, the most since they scored seven in a win over Eastern Michigan in 2014.
