Michigan State football has finally found its identity as a dominant defensive team who runs the ball to control the time of possession. The first half was, for the most part, uneventful but that would change in the fourth quarter as Michigan State pulled away and defeated Maryland 24-3.
Injuries
As reported prior to the game Brain Lewerke started the game for Michigan State as well as defensive back Josiah Scott which came to a surprise to many Spartans. The only mainstay receiver to not play was already known which Felton Davis III. Who also was expected to not play and who did not play were both punters Tyler Hunt and Jake Hartbarger.
