By the time the final whistle blew, Michigan State’s starting quarterback had been benched and the star wide receiver was likely lost for the rest of the season.
Fresh off of their upset win over Penn State, the Michigan State Spartans fell flat against the Michigan Wolverines. MSU lost its third game of the year, going down 21-7 to its rival at Spartan Stadium. Possibly even more importantly, the offense may have lost their two most important players under very different circumstances.
For most of the game, the Spartans left open the possibility of another come-from-behind win over a top-10 team.
