There are heartbreaking losses, and there is what happened to the Michigan State Spartans Saturday in East Lansing.
Despite a dominant defensive performance, the Spartans lost 10-7 to the Arizona State Sun Devils. It was the first loss of the year for MSU and the second loss in as many years to ASU.
Michigan State had a chance to send the game to overtime in the final seconds of regulation. However, after Matt Coghlin appeared to make the game-tying kick, the points were taken off the board due to 12-men on the field for the Spartans.
