MSU headed into Buckeye territory for the final two games of the season between the two ranked teams. MSU has been playing extremely well but did get some rough news earlier this week with the announcement the captain Red Savage would be out for the remainder of the season with an upper body injury. Thankfully the Spartans are a solid four lines and Savage can still maintain leadership and captain duties. Nonetheless, the news perhaps left the Spartans with a heavy heart as they left Ohio with a split.
It’s a lucky place to be when you rarely have to take a defeat and this season, three Spartan defeats have come from top 11 teams.
