East Lansing — Boos filled Spartan Stadium in the first half on Saturday.
By the second half, it was mostly silence, a stunned crowd watching Michigan State get dominated on its home field by Minnesota in the Big Ten opener, a week after going on the road and getting worked over by Washington.
Both games were similar as Michigan State’s defense got run over and the offense was stuck in the mud. When it was all said and done, Minnesota remained perfect on the season with a 34-7 victory, by then the stands at Spartan Stadium mostly empty despite an announced crowd of 74,587.
