East Lansing — Michigan State found itself in an unfamiliar position the fourth quarter on Saturday night.
The Spartans were rolling over Western Michigan, their offense clicking on all cylinders, finally complementing one of the best defenses in the nation.
“It’s probably bad to say but it feels like we had a little breathing room,” linebacker Joe Bachie said. “But we score 21 points on our first three drives, that was amazing, and you can’t ask for anything else. … It was great to see. Running the ball, passing the ball. It was good.
