The No. 11 Michigan State Spartans traveled to Piscataway, New Jersey to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for a Big Ten East showdown between two programs who like to use the manta “Keep Chopping.” When it was all said and done, MSU earned a 31-13 victory and improved to 6-0 on the season, already getting to bowl eligibility just six weeks into the season.
Michigan State received the ball first and moved the ball nicely all the way down to Rutgers’ 25-yard-line before attempting a questionable fake field goal that did not work well for the Spartans, as the Scarlet Knights stopped it and took over the ball.
