Matt Charboneau and John Niyo break down Michigan State's season-opening win over Tulsa. Matt Charboneau, The Detroit News
East Lansing — Sometimes the best offense is a good defense. Even better, occasionally it’s a great defense.
And for the moment, that’ll be more than enough for Michigan State, which manhandled Tulsa, 28-7, in its season opener before a crowd of 72,005 at Spartan Stadium.
But if you came here looking for proof the Spartans’ offense was either new or improved — the fans have been hearing for weeks, if not months, that it'll be both — you left empty-handed.
