Michigan State hasn't scored more than 17 points in a game at Ohio Stadium since 2005.
Point totals are meaningless in a sport operated by teens and witchcraft - there's no charmed scoring threshold that always guarantees a win. Spartans are 2-4 in the Horseshoe over their 16-year pitiful point-scoring span, which reminds us of two valuable truths about this matchup recently:
- Ohio State's offense puckered in criminal fashion in both of those losses.
- Michigan State is especially skilled in activating the dreaded Buckeye offensive pucker.
The last time Michigan State scored more than 17 in Ohio Stadium was the only funny meeting these two teams have ever had.
