East Lansing — There’s just something about Michigan State and big games.
More specifically, there’s something about how coach Mark Dantonio gets his team ready to play against the top teams in the country, regardless of how the Spartans’ season is going at that point.
Saturday afternoon at Penn State was the latest example as a reeling Michigan State team walked into Happy Valley and knocked off the then-No. 8 ranked Nittany Lions, the 10th time a Dantonio-coached Michigan State team has beaten an opponent ranked the top 10 of the Associated Press poll.
