Michigan State Football: Report card for win over Penn State

Saturday’s Michigan State football win over the Penn State Nittany Lions was an impressive show of force as the Spartans downed James Franklin and Co., 55-16. Spartan Stadium was rocking, knowing that the Big Ten title game was on the line and a win would send the Spartans in to face No. 4 Iowa.

Michigan State has recorded its fifth 11-win season in the past six years thanks to the victory and the Spartans now have a chance to improve to 12-1 with a win over the Hawkeyes and the victor of Saturday’s Big Ten Championship will almost surely be headed to the College Football Playoff.
