Sharp: Simply winning isn’t enough for Spartans

EAST LANSING – The game was won. But was the argument lost?

That’s the dilemma facing Michigan State as it branches forward toward a potential Game of the Century (circa 2015) in another two months in Columbus.

The Spartans got past Air Force on Saturday. They got the win. There wasn’t a definable blemish that could cost them in the college football playoff after Week 3. But there was a perceivable imperfection in their failure to cover the point spread in a 35-21 win that was close to two touchdowns shy of the Vegas anticipation.
