Michigan State football was dominated in every facet of the game by the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Spartan Stadium on Saturday in East Lansing.
Fans quickly became restless, as the Gophers went up-and-down the field, while the Spartans' offense looked listless in falling behind 17-0 at halftime. Boos rained down throughout the half, as Minnesota outgained MSU, 310-45, with 19 first downs to three in the Big Ten opener for both teams.
MSU quarterback Payton Thorne, who said this week "it's not time to freak out," coming off a 39-28 beatdown in Washington, threw an interception on fourth-and-5 and overthrew receiver Jayden Reed deep on a potential touchdown.
