It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t pretty, but the Michigan State Spartans escaped Bloomington with a 20-15 win over the Indiana Hoosier to improve their record to 7-0.
The offense struggled to run the football all day, as Heisman Candidate running back Kenneth Walker III was limited to just 84 yards on 22 carries (3.7 yards per attempt) and Spartan quarterback Payton Thorne struggled, especially in the first half, to move MSU through the air.
But, the Spartan defense grew stronger as the afternoon wore on and eventually made just enough plays to give the offense a chance.
