The Spartans faced off against the No. 4 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, and it was brutal. The Spartans lost 52-12, with a late safety giving the Spartans two more points.
The Buckeyes beat up the Spartans for all four quarters, piling up a whopping 322 yards on the ground, combined with 199 through the air. It was a complete dismantling of the Spartans, with a team that was down multiple players and coaches due to COVID-19 issues.
After Rocky Lombardi went down with an injury late in the second quarter, Payton Thorne stepped in and looked solid.
