The Michigan State Spartans defeated the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers by a final score of 48 to 31 in the 2021 homecoming game. MSU never trailed throughout the contest, and the Spartans were dominant on offense.
The Michigan State offense — after struggling last week against the Nebraska Cornhuskers — came alive in the first half against Western Kentucky. MSU scored 42 points in the first half compared to Western Kentucky’s 16 points. This marked the first time the Spartans have scored 40 points in the first half of a game since leading Wyoming 42-7 on Sept.
