The Michigan State Spartans made their way home for the first time in a month to close out their non-conference schedule against the Central Michigan Chippewas. The Spartans dominated defensively and did enough on offense to put the game away early in the second half, scoring 31 straight points and giving themselves a commanding 28 point lead.
Although, it didn’t stop the Chippewas from making things interesting in the fourth quarter. “Well as I continue to say, nothing’s ever easy. You get ahead a little bit, think things are going pretty well and then it gets interesting, but that’s football for you,” said Dantonio in reference to CMU’s late rally.
