Spartans beat reporter Matt Charboneau breaks down Thursday's win, what it means for the program moving forward and other news following the bowl game.
San Diego — Michigan State’s remarkable turnaround was complete when it won nine regular-season games and finished second in the Big Ten East.
On Thursday night at the Holiday Bowl, the program’s impressive revival was validated with a dominating performance in a 42-17 victory over Washington State in front of 47,092 at SDCCU Stadium.
“Program win in every respect,” said Mark Dantonio, who earned his 100th victory as Michigan State’s coach.
