Entering Saturday’s matchup, both teams were looking to remain atop the Big Ten East. Michigan State entered the Shoe coming off a tremendous upset over Penn State. Ohio State, on the other hand, had a message to send after they were annihilated by Iowa last week.
In the end, it was the Buckeyes who asserted their dominance over a Spartans squad that had previously caused plenty of trouble against the Scarlet and Gray. This time, Ohio State was nearly unstoppable in their 48-3 stomping of the Spartans.
After entering the Buckeye’s side of the field but being forced to punt, Ohio State administered a steady dose of JK Dobbins to march down the field before Mike Weber took the ball the rest of the way, scoring from 42 yards out to take the early 7-0 lead.
